BBC NEWS | England | Sussex | Two kite surfers jump over pier

Two kite surfers from West Sussex took advantage of strong winds on the south coast to realise an ambition to jump over Worthing pier.

Jake Scrace, 25, and Lewis Crathern, 24, had been planning Monday morning's jump for three years but had to wait for perfect weather conditions.

Carpenter Mr Scrace, who makes kite boards, and professional kite surfer Mr Crathern are both from Worthing.

but I cannot help but wonder what is next for these two?

Mr Crathern said the jump was "epic".

"It was everything I've lived for - amazing," he said.

Bigger, wider piers?

I suppose it will become an addiction much like the Spiderman and his taste for tall buildings.
