How This Epic Thing Went Down
At the 2006 Human-Powered Boat European Championships, the AquaSkipper showed just how fast a human-powered hydrofoil could move over a short sprint course.
The documented race video identifies two 100-meter AquaSkipper runs, with recorded times of 15.88 seconds and 15.74 seconds. The faster of the two runs, 15.74 seconds, stands as the best-known documented AquaSkipper 100-meter sprint time from the event.
The AquaSkipper is a human-powered hydrofoil that relies on the rider’s body motion to keep the craft bouncing, gliding, and flying above the water. Unlike powered foils, there is no motor assistance. The rider must generate the rhythm, lift, and forward motion through balance, timing, and repeated physical input.
This record is especially notable because it captures the AquaSkipper in a true race setting rather than a casual demonstration. The event format, measured 100-meter distance, and recorded race times make it a useful benchmark for human-powered hydrofoil performance.
The known record time is 15.74 seconds over 100 meters. A second documented run of 15.88 seconds was also recorded. The name of the rider who set the 15.74-second time is not confirmed in the available source details, so the record holder is currently listed as unknown.
