The Tale From the Foil Vault
Lily Buden's 2025 M2O women's wing foil champion time of 2:08:03 is marked as the current record in the official records table. It improves on the first listed women's wing foil benchmark and gives the database a current wing-powered downwind foil race-course mark. As with the other M2O entries, the value should be read as a course record under event conditions, not as a universal downwind speed record.
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 class is for official women's wing foil results on the M2O foil course, where a handheld wing powers the foilboard across the downwind channel route.
