Today ex-British Kitesurfing Champion, Lewis Crathern braved the storm and successfully jumped the Brighton Pier!

In Gale force winds Lewis attempted for 2 hours to navigate the choppy waters and find a path to launch over the pier but with no success. But never one to give up Lewis strapped on a bigger kite and fearlessly launched his way over Brightons Iconic Pier.

Worthing based Lewis hit the world news, last year, when he and friend Jake Scrace, took on another storm and took on Hasting pier.

Crazy bloke!

The guy has serious sack. Unfortunately videos like this are going to get someone killed trying to be the next guy to jump something bigger.
