In the fast, offshore wind corridor of La Palme, Audrey-Marie Agnes delivered a run that redefined what wingfoil speed can be.
Her official results:
These records were officially confirmed by the WSSR, the governing body for global sailing speed records.
The sail behind the achievement?
CHS Ikaros S1 — engineered for absolute stability, precise load distribution and aerodynamic efficiency in extreme conditions.
The synergy between rider skill, foil tuning and CHS design resulted in a performance that pushed the limits of the sport.
Wing: CHS Ikaros S1
Likely size used: 3.0–3.5 (to confirm)
Foil: Chabunga Speed
Board: Custom speed board
Wind: 28–35 knots
Conditions: Flat water, side-off wind, minimal chop
Goal: Maximum stability at full speed + reduced aerodynamic drag

“To reach those numbers, the wing cannot deform or ‘breathe’ unpredictably.
The Ikaros S1 was built with a reinforced central frame, a rigid load path and a twist profile designed to stay stable even under extreme tension.
At over 30 knots, every millimeter of shape matters — and that’s where handcrafted engineering makes the difference.”
The jump in results is measurable — and undeniable.
Audrey-Marie Agnes’ world record isn’t just an athletic milestone:
it’s a direct demonstration of what the CHS Ikaros S1 is capable of when pushed to its limits.
Built with precision and designed by a master sailmaker, the Ikaros S1 proved its potential on the world stage — and set a new benchmark for wingfoil performance.
From youth world titles to a World Cup victory and two wingfoil world records, this has been the most successful season in CHS history.
Here is a quick recap of the milestones achieved by athletes competing with CHS sails and wings in 2024–2025.
In 2025, the CHS Ikaros S1 became the first CHS wing to power an athlete to two official WSSR world records:
the 500-meter wingfoil speed record and the nautical mile wingfoil speed record.
This article recaps how the Ikaros S1 was engineered for speed — and why it set a new benchmark in the sport.
