Tracks longest public distance claims where a rider uses a flatwater paddle-up to get onto foil and then continues as a body-powered pump-foil run. This keeps SUP and downwind-board paddle starts inside the broader dockstarting and pump-foiling family when the recorded achievement is sustained human-powered pump foiling rather than wind, wave, boat, or motor-powered riding.
