World Record! Tom Constans conquers 199 km on an unassisted foil traverse.
Attention, family, because this isn't just any downwind! What Tom Constans has done is one of those feats that reminds you why this sport blows our minds. In an epic unassisted foiling run, this rider conquered the French coast using pure leg power, setting a world record that has left us speechless.
Remind you of this record by Olivia Piana in Portugal with 284km and here comes the battle of who holds the record, @panthalassa_tv (also responsible for the stunning images documenting the journey). I'll leave you with the two news stories and simply congratulate the two protagonists: Article: Record 284km by Olivia Piana.
SUELTALABARRA Family! Tom's journey wasn't a walk in the park. Imagine this: 199.2 km traveled in 7 hours and 36 minutes. Completely alone at sea, propelled only by the power of his legs, sometimes more than 15 km from the coast, with land disappearing over the horizon. This is pure madness and pure heart!
The journey, which started in Palavas les Flots and ended at Almanarre beach in Hyères, was a demonstration of physical and, above all, mental resilience. Tom tells us he navigated with a simple compass on his watch and that the encouraging messages he read on his device during the toughest moments gave him incredible energy. The power of community is real!
This achievement is a milestone in the world of foiling, proving that the discipline of pumping can take you to dizzying distances. It's a true inspiration for all of us who love the freedom of flying over the water.
Congratulations Tom Constans on this incredible adventure!
