The Epic Record Run
White Wave reported that on May 11, 2024 Nicolas Iten broke the pumpfoiling world record by pumping for over 2:39 hours on Lake Sempach with the Indiana Condor XL. Later interviews explain that he covered 36 km in 2 hours and 39 minutes before falling while trying to take a drink from his wife. This row records the first Lake Sempach long-distance benchmark in the freefoiling category because it was a sustained flatwater human-powered route, not a wind, wave, or tow run.
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. Distance should be GPS-tracked or otherwise credibly documented. If the attempt includes loops or laps, the route must remain continuous and self-powered.
