A kite surfer in Florida has made the most of the wild weather whipped up by tropical storm Debby, using the big surf and strong winds to jump over a pier.

The surfer, who has been identified as Billy Parker by YouTube users, cleared the pier at Reddington Beach on June 24.
Debby, which has been raking the coast with strong winds and rains since the weekend, is on a path to sweep across north-central Florida as it heads eastward to the Atlantic Ocean, where it is expected by Friday.
The daredevil approached the pier a number of times before soaring over the massive structure.
The man who filmed the jump can be heard speaking to other onlookers who speculate as to whether he would attempt the dangerous jump.
"If the wind changes direction he could be in big trouble," a man comments.
Another woman said "he is crazy" as the surfer launches into the air.
The spectators collectively gasped in awe as the thrill seeker let the wind take him into the air and over the pier.
"He's obviously a professional," the man filming comments as the video ends.
