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. They took off in gusts of wind that were more than 40mph. Mr Scrace described the build up to the jump as "terrifying". Carpenter Mr Scrace, who makes kite boards, and professional kite surfer Mr Crathern have 16 years' experience in the sport between them. 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 practicing 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. Shoreham Herald
