The Epic Record Run
Annie Reickert's 2018 M2O foil result is the first listed women's foil champion entry in the official M2O records table. Her 5:20:06 time created the early women's downwind foil benchmark for the channel course. Because M2O is a point-to-point ocean race, this is recorded as a race-course record progression rather than a standalone distance record. It matters historically because it marks the women's side of foiling entering the same famous downwind channel arena.
Rules of the Beast
Eligible results must come from the official Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard World Championships foil division records or official race result publications. The attempt must be on the recognized Molokai to Oahu channel race course, with the athlete starting in the official foil start and finishing under event timing rules. Lower elapsed time wins. Official event requirements, such as board number stickers, race jerseys, GPS tracking backup, class wave starts, escort or unescorted safety rules, and finish-line athlete number communication, are treated as part of the record framework. Because the race course and annual conditions vary, these records are recorded as official race-course records, not as universal open-water speed records. This women's paddle-powered foil class tracks the official champion progression for the Molokai to Oahu foil course.
