Thanks for the kind words everyone it was an unbelievable weekend ! Here are a few pictures from a great bloke called John, I met him last year and he runs the Worthing amateur camera club so I got him onto the pier where the flyers prepare and take off. As you can see his shots & camera are unbelievable !
This was my Sunday flight - 141.5m. Tony Hughes smashed my Saturday record of 106m with a flight of 132.3m just 5mins before my flight !
The wind was 22knots south west with 2m swell !! at one point I thought I was going to land on the beach. Sky news attached a Go Pro on the keel so can't wait to see the footage will post when it arrives.
Cheers from a very happy flyer

Everyone who lives dies, yet not everyone who dies, has lived. We take these risks not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping us ...
