About

Lewis Crathern turned big air into public spectacle, becoming the first person to jump the piers at Worthing and then Brighton, feats that took years of preparation and drew global attention. A former British champion and big-air world championship runner-up, Crathern has since become one of kiteboarding's most passionate ambassadors, coaching, mentoring young riders and telling the sport's story through film and speaking. His documentary captured both his high point and his comeback from a serious crash.
