Strict appraisal process, monitoring every detail

A representative of Sun Group said that the proposal to set two Guinness records for the show "Symphony of the Green Island" was made at the beginning of this year, when the show was still in the concept development stage.

Accordingly, the inspection requires full assurance: technical documents of the demonstration equipment (jetski, flyboard, fireworks), safe operating configuration, athlete training procedures, stage plans at sea, team maps and previous test videos . Each document must be independently reviewed by GWR.

Guinness representatives also requested the Organizing Committee to appoint a group of independent witnesses not affiliated with the organizing unit, including fireworks experts, water sports technicians, and safety supervisors to ensure objectivity.

Under the direct supervision of Ms. Sonia Ushirogochi - GWR's senior referee - the rigorous evaluation process took place in the afternoon and evening of May 21, including many separate technical inspection steps for each record category.

For the personal record "Most backflips on a flyboard in one minute" the conditions tested include: flyboard equipment inspection, altitude - water flow speed, thruster structure, safety standards, the athlete's ability to control his body in the air and wave conditions at the time of performance.

Tomasz Kubik successfully performed 43 somersaults in 60 seconds, surpassing the current world record of 41. The number of somersaults was monitored by multi-angle video recording equipment, an independent witness team and a rotation counter using angular velocity sensors.

"This world record attempt felt very special. Everything was harder with a lot of pressure. But when I completed the last flip, I knew I had surpassed my own limits and that feeling was amazing," Tomasz shared.

With the collective record of "Largest Jetskis formation launching fireworks in the world", Guinness representative conducted a test of the number of vehicles, conditions for mounting fireworks on the jetski (including type of fireworks, detonation device, synchronization mechanism with sound and light), operational formation diagram, operating accuracy and coordination ability between the operator and the central technical system.

During the evaluation session, 20 jetskis simultaneously performed complex maneuvers, maintaining speed and safety while ensuring fireworks were accurately detonated to the beat of music - laser light - water.

Two world records confirmed as eligible

After appraisal, the two record contents were confirmed to be valid and eligible for publication.

Speaking after the appraisal process, Ms. Sonia said: "We not only evaluate the results by the naked eye but also by an independent monitoring system, with separate technical standards for each record. What we recorded today in Cat Ba is very convincing. The precision of the jetski formation, the technical difficulty of the flyboard and the combination of sports, art and fireworks. All meet international standards."

According to the plan, the handover of the certificates of these two records to the representative of the organizing committee and athlete Tomasz Kubik himself will be carried out on the opening night of the show Symphony of the Green Island, scheduled to start on the evening of May 30 and last until early September.

Staged by H2O Events and LaserVision, the show is a combination of three extreme performances including jetski, flyboard and jetsurf to music combined with fireworks, water cannons, stage lighting, in a plot based on the Cat Ba crane fairy and the Five Elements theory in Eastern culture.

The program is the highlight of a series of new products launched by Sun Group in the center of the island, including Vui-Fest night market, The Forest Beach Club and The Sea Beach Club restaurant clusters, and a green transportation system.
