How This Epic Thing Went Down
A Tony Klarich hydrofoiling magazine PDF search result identifies Brett Speed as Foiling's Youngest Flipper and states that 10-year-old Brett Speed set the world record for the youngest rider to ride away from an invert. The user supplied the event context as the 2000 Tennessee Fly-In.
Rules of the Beast
Record the youngest publicly documented rider age for completing a clean ride-away invert on a sit-down hydrofoil. The attempt must be a sit-down hydrofoil invert, not a stand-up foilboard invert or another foil discipline. The rider must complete the invert and continue riding away under control. Use the rider's age at the time of the documented attempt as the primary metric. If later sources identify a younger qualifying rider or provide stronger documentation for an earlier predecessor, update the progression accordingly.
How This Got the Nod
Historical hydrofoil magazine PDF search snippets support Brett Speed's 10-year-old youngest ride-away invert claim. Exact event day was not located so the row uses year precision.
