Frosty, along with the foiling community at large, has given this glorious achievement the official Foiling Freaks nod for Scootpump Foiling.
May it inspire better evidence, cleaner runs, bigger claims, and even louder hooting from the crowd.

This is the world’s smallest board ridden on a Scootpump foil, using the Nut Buster 3000 as the riding platform.
The Nut Buster 3000 board used in this ride measured 35.7 inches long by 1 inch wide, giving it a total surface area of 242 sq cm. That measurement includes the full length of the board, including the sections used for the mast attachment and handlebar attachment. In other words, this was not a normal board with a narrow standing area. It was a deliberately tiny riding platform built to see just how little board could still be used to get up and ride a Scootpump foil.
The video evidence shows the rider successfully riding the Scootpump foil with the Nut Buster 3000 board installed. Because the board is barely wider than a strip of material, the achievement is less about comfort and more about control, balance, and proving that the foil system can still be ridden with an extremely small platform.
This record claim is submitted as the smallest documented board ridden on a Scootpump foil, measured by board surface area. The official submitted measurement for the board is 35.7 inches by 1 inch, or 242 sq cm of total surface area.
This record is for the smallest documented board ridden on a scootpump foil. The equipment must be a scootpump-style setup using a standard foil board or riding platform with a handlebar attachment, where the rider pumps the foil while standing on the platform and holding the handlebar system.
The record is measured by the total surface area of the board platform. The measurement must include the full available surface of the platform, including any area needed for foil mast attachment, handlebar attachment, mounting hardware, and rider contact. The measurement should not exclude sections of the platform simply because they are used for equipment attachment.
The board platform may be custom-built, modified, or purpose-built, but the submitted dimensions must clearly describe the full platform being ridden. Surface area should be submitted in square centimeters. If the platform is not a simple rectangle, the submitter should provide sufficient measurements, photos, drawings, or an explanation to allow a reasonable calculation of the total surface area.
To qualify, the rider must complete a controlled Scootpump foil ride lasting at least 10 seconds. The clock starts when the rider is up and riding under their own control on foil and stops when the rider falls, steps off, touches outside support, or can no longer continue the ride.
The ride should be documented with a clear video showing the board platform, the Scootpump foil setup, the rider getting underway, and at least 10 seconds of continuous riding. Supporting photos, measurements, and build details should be included to verify the platform size.
Verified from video of the event and measurements of the platform.
This submission documents a Scootpump foil ride on the Nut Buster 3000, an ultra-minimal board measuring only 35.7 inches by 1 inch, for a total surface area of 242 sq cm.
