Kite Surfers Jump Over Worthing Pier

water shoesWith winds gusting at more than 40mph, two kite surfers from West Sussex realised their ambition to jump over Worthing pier.

Jake Scrace, 25, and Lewis Crathern, 24, had been planning to jump over the pier for three years but had to wait for perfect weather conditions.

As winds on the south coast rose, the pair took off from Goring to the west of Worthing in gusts of wind that were more than 40mph.

The pair said the jump was quite hazardous and should not be attempted by amateurs.

“It was probably the most terrifying thing I’ve ever built up to,” said Mr Scrace.

“We were practising down the road and we were pretty confident we were going to do it but as soon as we got nearer the pier it was quite hard.”

Mr Crathern describe the jump as “epic”.
