The Epic Record Run
On 2023-10-18, Nicolas Goyard publicly wrote that the 42-knot threshold on a windfoil had been reached, with the public snippet describing the figure as a 1 second result. This is entered as a Foiling Freaks fun record for instantaneous peak speed rather than a sanctioned 500 m course record. It belongs in a separate series because short-window peak speeds and course-averaged timed speeds are different measurements and should not be mixed.
Rules of the Beast
Qualifying entries must be made on a foil-equipped windsurf board with a mounted windsurf rig and must provide a numeric peak speed tied to a one-second interval or an equivalently explicit one-second claim.
How This Got the Nod
Primary public rider post supports the one-second 42-knot claim.
