🏆WORLD RECORD & GUINNESS RECORD🏆

9.8.23 a day to remember!💯

This year the goal was to go for the world record on foil in a downwind course!🌊

So I decided to prepare and go for it by doing the Athens to Crete crossing which could fit such a distance! After over 4 months of training, a proper forecast allowed me to make the decision to go!! It was probably the hardest thing I have ever done not only physically, where I was fully prepared and endured, but mostly mentally. It was a looong day with a lot of changes in the weather part and a lot of pain which required my full focus and a good mindset.

After 13:29:04 hours and 299.03km I just couldn’t believe it that I endured the pain and the difficulties of the course and I was there with a World Record in my hands!!!💪 Super happy and proud about my performance!!!🤩 Also extremely happy for my Guinness World Record Title for the first 12h of this day!!🎉

Of course behind all this I had ,from every aspect, the best possible support and at this point I’d like to thank:

• VAYU for providing with the best wings & boards!!🔝

• AXIS Foils for (by far) the best foils available!!💯

• Manolis Ploumakis for training me!!!💪

• Alexis Katsios for fuelling my preparation!!⛽️

• S.K. Extreme Activity for the great coverage & support 🙏

• Heraklion Windsurfing Club for the fantastic welcoming!🎉

• Crete Cruise for the navigation & safety 🚤

Also a big thank to all who waited for me at the beach and everyone for the great messages and enthusiasm! Appreciate it a lot!!🤙

And of course the biggest thank goes to my wife Lydia Nafp who believed in me supported me all the way!❤️
