The Epic Record Run
A Flight hydrofoiling newsletter item records Mary Murphy's 80th-birthday Catalina ride as a 60-mile hydrofoil effort. That makes her one of the earliest clearly documented octogenarian sit-down hydrofoil riders in the published hydrofoiling record trail.
Rules of the Beast
Age is measured in completed years at the time of a documented sit-down hydrofoil ride. Rider must be female and riding a seated tow hydrofoil / Sky Ski or Air Chair-type sit-down hydrofoil.
How This Got the Nod
