How This Epic Thing Went Down
The Harlem account of the Mykonos session describes a very specific hydrofoil big-air moment. It says Baptiste Bourdoulous set a 34.4 m hydrofoil jump mark on Monday during a run of strong Meltemi conditions at Korfos in Mykonos. The article reports 30 to 35 knots of wind, choppy water, an 8 m Harlem Peak, 22 m lines, and the moment when Baptiste identified a strong gust, carved upwind, and sent the kite into a huge takeoff. The source says that after the landing he saw 34.4 m on his watch, triggering celebration on the beach. The entry is treated as a source-backed public hydrofoil height record within the modern foil big-air progression. June 30, 2025 is used because the article published July 3, 2025 identifies the record as occurring on Monday.
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
