The Epic Record Run
This early duration benchmark is notable because it was not a downwind crossing, boat wake lap, eFoil ride, or wing-assisted run. Bennetts described a wave setup where the swell and wind formed convex waves that let him circle back repeatedly while staying on foil. That detail makes the ride important for the prone/surf-foil duration category: the original power source was the wave, and continued flight depended on pumping, positioning, and reconnecting with the same local wave energy. The public source does not give a full verification package, so this row should be treated as a public rider-profile claim and historical benchmark.
Rules of the Beast
The timer starts when the rider rises onto foil from a prone or surf-foil wave start and stops when the rider falls, intentionally dismounts, or can no longer maintain foil flight. The rider may pump out and reconnect to waves, but must return under human pumping and wave energy only. No boat, kite, wing, paddle, motor, Foil Drive, eFoil propulsion, tow rope, shore assistance, or nutrition handed from another person may be used during the timed ride. Backwash, sidewash, or artificial reverb that creates a special unlimited conveyor-belt route should be declared separately.
