The Crossing

Over the last few days we have been attempting to cross the English Channel.
The plan was for Richard Branson along with Family (Holly, Sam and Ivo Branson) and a group of friends including a few of us from Flexifoil would attempt to brake the record for Oldest and youngest kiteboarder, Biggest group and Fastest crossing on a kiteboard across the channel.
Unfortunately we did not make it this time, Monday was used for the guys to familiarize themselves with the gear, Tuesday was perfect for us kiteboarders but after 5 miles of batteling through the huge swell in 35 knots we were forced by the boats to come back to the UK as it was unsafe to support the riders in the massive seas.
Wednesday we ended up without wind so now we have rescheduled the crossing for sometime in the coming 2 weeks.
