The Story Behind the Record

The PWA report for the 2019 Catalunya Costa Brava World Cup quotes Thomas Goyard saying he had won his first foil World Cup on the PWA World Tour ever. The event summary states that Foil continued to evolve with the introduction of Foil Slalom and that Goyard tasted victory on the World Tour for the first time. This row records the milestone as a Foiling Freaks world first for the earliest PWA foil World Cup victory explicitly identified in the official PWA source reviewed.

Rules of the Beast

To qualify, the source must identify the event as a PWA foil World Cup or Foil-only World Cup result and state that the rider won that PWA foil World Cup event. The event must be windsurf foiling with a mounted rig and hydrofoil board. This series records a world-tour milestone rather than a measured speed record.

How This Got the Nod
