I first saw this story yesterday over at The Outpost, the official blog for Outdoorzy, but it took the Wend Blog to track down the video to really sell the story.
In the video below you’ll find some amazing, and amazingly insane, footage of two kite boarders catching BIG air, as they jump a pier in the U.K. Wend identifies the two crazy boarders as “three time British Champion Lewis Crathern and Big Air Master Jake Scrace”. The duo had been planning the jump for three years, but had to wait for the perfect weather conditions to do so. When they got their chance, they took it.
All I can say is Wow!

I love the disclaimers at the end. Something tells me that if a novice found themselves doing the same thing it would not be on purpose…

I got a laugh out of those disclaimers myself Jon. Some things shouldn't need to be said, but, it's probably best that they did. 😉
And glad you enjoyed it John! Some YouTube clips are definitely worth sharing!
yeah glad they warned me, i was halfway out the door 🙂
It was certainly interesting for me to read that blog. Thanks for it. I like such themes and everything connected to them. BTW, try to add some images :).
