It's been very windy around these parts recently which has unfortunately ruined a lot air events that I planned to attend.
However, all is not lost as my local beach is a haven for kite & windsurfers who like nothing better than strong south-westerly winds.
Here's a few shots of of some of the more experienced kitesurfers taken earlier this summer.
The last two are of local ace Jake Scrace who is famous for jumping over Worthing Pier back in 2009 *.
