How This Epic Thing Went Down
Borja Vellon’s 30.6 m boost is a clear dividing line in the public kitefoil big-air record trail because WOO Sports framed it as the first foil jump over the 30 m barrier. The WOO post places the jump in Leucate, France, a site known for strong wind and big-air conditions. A specialist retail write-up adds equipment context, identifying a 6 m Sonic4, 20 m lines, and a foil setup measured with WOO 4.0.
Rules of the Beast
Rider must be on a kite-powered hydrofoil board at the time of the jump. The jump height must be reported by a named source, preferably a WOO announcement, rider or sponsor report, competition statement, or a specialist kite outlet that clearly identifies the foil category. This series excludes twin-tip, strapless surfboard, wingfoil, tow-up, and non-foil kite jumps. If a source uses WOO data, the reported WOO height is entered as the metric value.
How This Got the Nod
WOO source explicitly calls this a kitefoil jump world record and the first foiler over 30 m.
