The Monster-Sized Story
Stacia Brown's age-5 sit-down hydrofoil ride at the 2000 Parker Fly-In was recorded by Jim Brown and is treated as an accepted family-source fact for this record entry. A public Hydrofoilers Facebook post also repeats the same core claim, stating that Stacia Brown had the youngest female rider record in 2000 at the Parker Flyin at age 5. This row records the age benchmark itself.
Rules of the Beast
Age is measured in years at the time of a documented sit-down hydrofoil ride by a female rider. The record requires a source describing actual sit-down hydrofoil riding, not merely water-ski training, passive towing on another device, or general participation at an event. When the source gives an exact age with days or months, the metric value may be stored as a decimal year value; otherwise use the age directly supported by the source.
How This Got the Nod
Verified by Jim Brown, Stacia Brown's father, per submitted record details. Public Hydrofoilers Facebook search result snippet independently repeats the 2000 Parker Flyin, age 5 claim.
