The Epic Record Run
Nicolas Goyard wrote that he set a new official world record on 500 m with an official timing of 37.19 knots. Prince of Speed coverage describes the same performance as 37.19 knots on an official 501 m run with video timing, and the public event video summarizes it as a windfoil record from the 2021 Prince of Speed speed series. This row records the result as a high-confidence event-organizer and athlete-reported men's windfoil speed benchmark, with the year entered because the accessible sources reviewed here did not establish the exact ride date.
Rules of the Beast
Qualifying attempts must be made on a foil-equipped windsurf board powered by a fixed windsurf rig, not a handheld wing, kite, parawing, or motor. The speed must be reported for a 500 m style speed course or an event timing format explicitly presented as an official 500 m or 501 m windfoil result. Video timing, organizer timing, or an event record statement is required. GPS peak speeds alone do not qualify for this series. Later results should be entered only when the source provides a directly comparable timed distance and speed in knots. Mens category.
How This Got the Nod
Athlete post and event video agree on the 37.19-knot official timed result. Exact day not established in sources reviewed.
