How This Epic Thing Went Down
The Chain of Records record list preserved on TheMalibuCrew forum identifies a hydrofoil entry titled Largest Hydrofoil Invert Line with a count of 10, and the Chain of Records public Facebook video describes it as a national and world record for the largest invert line behind one boat.
The attempt came from the 2021 Chain of Records gathering in the Winter Haven area, where multiple watersports records were attempted across local lakes. A Guinness World Records page currently publishes a closely related title for most people performing inverts on a sit-down hydrofoil simultaneously with a value of 9 people, so the verification note keeps that distinction visible rather than collapsing the sources into one value.
Rules of the Beast
Count the number of sit-down hydrofoil riders connected to and towed by one boat who complete the designated invert-line attempt during the same documented pass. Riders must be on sit-down hydrofoils and part of the same attempt behind the same tow boat. The count should come from a clearly documented record claim, event recap, video, or recognized record listing that identifies the rider count.
How This Got the Nod
Chain of Records and Malibu Crew references support the 10-rider pending claim. Guinness currently publishes a closely related simultaneous-inverts title at 9 people on 23 Oct 2021, so treat these as source-distinct entries unless the project later decides to merge the categories.
