Roxy, along with the foiling community at large, has given this glorious achievement the official Foiling Freaks nod for Kite Foiling.

May it inspire better evidence, cleaner runs, bigger claims, and even louder hooting from the crowd.

The Monster-Sized Story

GKA’s Taiba coverage is unusually useful for the world-first database because it spells out the historical claim, the event context, and the progression within the heat. The report says Brodel was already landing kite loop board-offs in each heat, then in his semifinal against Maxime Chabloz he “wrote history” with the first contra-loop front-roll board-off and back-roll kiteloop board-offs on a hydrofoil in competition. It further says he landed both moves again in the final against Alex Soto. That combination makes the entry more substantial than a one-off social clip. The first is tied to formal competition, named tricks, and repeat execution on the same event day.

Rules of the Beast

This first requires a competition report that explicitly states the rider landed the named hydrofoil tricks in competition before anyone else. The record tracks the first competition appearance of the paired milestone, not every later replay of those tricks.

How This Got the Nod

Official GKA event report explicitly states both tricks were firsts in hydrofoil competition.
