Imagine waiting three years for the perfect weather to fullfill a life long dream. Jake Scrace and Lewis Crathern of West Sussex England did just that when the two kite surfers jumped the Worthington Pier.




"They took off from Goring to the west of Worthing in gusts of wind that were more than 40mph.

Mr Scrace described the build up to the jump as "terrifying".



Between them they have 16 years' experience in the sport.



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 said the jump was "epic".



"It was everything I've lived for - amazing," he said." (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/sussex/8362671.stm)
