Girardot jumped his world record in the nature reserve of La Cimbarra in Spain. He told the Dailymail that the conditions presented additional challenges to the performance.

“The wind was really challenging, because that day the wind was strong and there were big gusts,” said Girardot.

Girardot is said to have reached a speed of up to 106 kilometers per hour during the plunge.

The previous world record of 41.8 meters belonged to a Swiss To Lucien Charlon22.

Surveying originates from Norway, from where it has spread to other parts of Europe, especially in recent years. The species is called by its Norwegian name dods. In it, you jump into the water belly first, and the position is only corrected at the last moment to make it safe so that your hands and feet break the surface of the water.

In recent years, the popularity of the sport has also been seen in Finland, where the first karting club was founded in 2022. Finnish Kaapo Kosonen finished second this summer in the world championships of the sport, where you jump from a height of ten meters.
