The Ride, The Proof, The Glory
TotalSUP and Indiana product copy identify Jérôme Baudoux as the first man to pump continuously for over three hours. The exact attempt date was not found in public sources during this pass, so the row uses year precision and treats the achievement as a public first-style endurance milestone rather than a day-specific certified record. It is relevant because it sits between the 1h37 era and the later 4-hour and 54.8 km Nicolas Iten record.
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.
