The Monster-Sized Story

Prince of Speed publicly reported that Justine Lemeteyer reached 31.78 knots on 500 m and described the result as the fastest women's windsurf foil performance. SURF magazine's 2026 Prince of Speed recap likewise said that Lemeteyer set a new women's foil world record of 31.78 knots according to the organizers. Some public posts around the performance described the mark as awaiting official validation, so this row preserves the achievement as an organizer-reported public claim and uses month precision for the date.

Rules of the Beast

Qualifying attempts must be made on a foil-equipped windsurf board powered by a fixed windsurf rig. Handheld wing foil, kite foil, parawing, and motor-assisted entries do not qualify. The source must report a 500 m class speed result in knots and identify the rider. Organizer posts, event results, rider posts, and reputable reporting may be used. If a source states that validation is pending, the event may still be logged for Foiling Freaks as a clearly labeled public claim, but the verification note must preserve that status. Woman's category.

How This Got the Nod

Prince of Speed and later press coverage support the 31.78-knot claim. Validation status should remain explicit until an official ratification source is found.
