Which is brick and the legendary Sussex bungeroush ....
The weight will mainly be taken by the brick ...
To hold 3 windsurfing boards + sails + masts
What do I need to use --- normal screws and rawlplugs ... or something else ?

Personally I would mount wooden battening along the wall first with expanding bolts then screw hooks or whatever into the wood.
Makes moving or adding hooks a lot easier.

Btw Sussex bungeroush ?

A quick Google has answered my question. We don't build using that method in Worthing hehe !

If fixing into the brick then use thunderbolts.

would have gone the wooden batten route ....
off to look at thunderbolts

Re Bungeroush and Worthing ... if it's not screwed down in Worthing it won't be there ...

Will thunderbolts work on brick, rather than concrete?

Depends on the brick. Some are too hard. You also need to be well away from the edge.
