The Story Behind the Record
Guinness World Records lists James Casey of Australia as the holder of the farthest distance by hydrofoil paddleboard in 12 hours, with a measured distance of 213.89 kilometers in Sydney, New South Wales, on April 21, 2022. Guinness also notes Casey's background in endurance water events and explains that the title aligned with his long-standing interest in very long distance swell riding. Because this is an official public Guinness title, Foiling Freaks uses the exact published metric, place, and date and avoids reconstructing unpublished adjudication details. The row therefore serves as a clean official-distance anchor within the SUP foiling discipline.
Rules of the Beast
Track the official Guinness World Records title for farthest distance by hydrofoil paddleboard in 12 hours. A record event should match the public title definition and be supported by the official Guinness result page or equivalent primary adjudication. Guinness does not publish the full technical rule packet on the public page, so Foiling Freaks records the published title, result, place, and date without inventing unpublished criteria.
