The Monster-Sized Story
In August 2024, WOO Sports announced that Jamie Overbeek had pushed the highest publicly documented foil jump to 33.2 m. The post says he unlocked a new level on the foil on a Thursday, landed 20 jumps over 25 m, recorded two jumps over 30 m, and ended with the 33.2 m world-record mark. The same source chain locates the session at his home spot in Workum in the Netherlands and notes that Borja Vellon’s 30.6 m Leucate jump had been the prior kitefoil benchmark.
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 explicitly reports 33.2 m as a new highest foil jump. Exact event day is inferred from the post wording.
