The Monster-Sized Story
The YouTube description states that a new surf foil world record for longest time on foil was set on March 19, 2024 at Populars surf break in Waikiki. It lists the time as 3 hours and 41 minutes and notes the rider used an Armstrong Foils 4'0 FG board. The accessible source does not show the rider's name in the search result, so the person field is left blank rather than guessed. This row should be treated as a video-supported claim that needs rider identification and full rules review before it is treated as the definitive verified record.
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.
