The Ride, The Proof, The Glory
Windsurf Journal reported on 2025-07-22 that Frédéric Houdier had measured himself against Jean Le Gall's 561 km windsurf foil performance and covered 571 km after 16 hours 30 minutes on the water at Gruissan. The article presents the result as 10 km more than the prior benchmark and frames it as the next chapter in a developing summer distance challenge. The exact achievement day was not established from the accessible source reviewed, so the spreadsheet uses July 2025 month precision rather than inventing a date.
Rules of the Beast
Qualifying attempts must be conducted on a foil-equipped windsurf board powered by a conventional windsurf rig. The published source must state a total distance in kilometers and describe the attempt as a 24-hour challenge, 24-hour window, or directly comparable day-long distance project. A track, event report, rider interview, or organizer report is preferred. Breaks, equipment failures, and safety pauses may be included when they are part of the publicly described challenge window, but the notes must make the context clear. Entries that are simply long rides without a comparable 24-hour framing should use a different series.
How This Got the Nod
Specialist press states 571 km and 16h30 at Gruissan, compared directly against Jean Le Gall's prior 561 km windfoil distance.
