The Story Behind the Record
Tony Klarich's stand-up hydrofoil history captions a 1988 image as 'Record ride on the River - most stand-up foils behind one boat' and names eight riders: Donny Armstrong, Mike Mack, Buck Buxton, John Clemmons, Banana George Blair, Ingrid Buxton, Rich Ferber, and Mike Murphy.
Rules of the Beast
Most riders simultaneously towed behind one boat on legacy stand-up hydrofoil waterskis in the same documented ride.
