The Tale From the Foil Vault
Justin Detreich held the hydrofoil frame-count record from Oct 2015 to March 2016 with a 63-frame jump.
Rules of the Beast
Measured by video frame count (hang-time frames) shot on a 60fps video camera. The standard procedure for measuring frame count starts at zero when any part of the front blade breaks the water surface. The last frame shows the foil first hitting the water. Frame counting as a measurement was adapted from wakeboarding competitions. This is considered the gold standard for measuring hang time.
Unassisted means no extra assistance from a separate kicker boat wake and no extra add-on tower extensions.
