How This Epic Thing Went Down
The Beta Freefoil history page says hundreds of prototype parts were needed to grow endurance slowly from 30 seconds to 2.5 hours. The source does not name the specific ride date or individual run details, so this row is entered as a cautious project milestone rather than a formally verified personal record. It belongs in Freefoiling because it is explicitly tied to long-duration self-powered flight and the development of a dedicated freefoil platform.
Rules of the Beast
This series is for long-distance or exploratory pump foiling. The rider must travel under human power only after a dockstart, beachstart, rock start, drop start, or comparable human-powered launch. The attempt must be a continuous or clearly documented exploration-style flight over flat or sheltered water rather than a wind, wave, downwind, boat-wake, cable, or motor-assisted ride. Touchdown, fall, outside propulsion, boat tow, winch pull, sail, kite, handheld wing, or parawing ends the measured attempt. GPS track, video, public article, or comparable evidence should support distance, duration, location, and route continuity. Duration is measured from sustained foil flight after launch until touchdown, fall, or outside assistance.
