The Ride, The Proof, The Glory
TotalSUP reported in its Nicolas Iten article that two days after Iten's first 36 km and 2:39 hour record, Jérôme showed a great performance and did 44 km in 3:26 hours. The source does not provide a dedicated event page or exact location in the accessible text, so this is included as a public progression event with month precision. It matters because it was the benchmark that Nicolas later exceeded with the 54.8 km Lake Sempach 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.
