I don't know why the youtube algorithm served me this series but I'm very thankful it did, great films, well done. Inspirational.
It thinks you're into watersports.
Yeah same.
He is part of the evil progressive new world order so his content gets pushed
Exactly the same 😂
Me too but watched it and just want to say congrats.
This is what TH-cam is about. Not someone sitting in a chair regurgitating Wikipedia while monetizing the lives and drama of others. Just a person sharing a part of their adventure through life. Thanks for sharing!
Wind surfing is basically sailing with a broken mast and without the ability to sit down 😂
It's actually insane how wind surfing works. Hats off to you Henry this was an epic watch! SUBBED
I can practically smell the moules frites... Honk!! 😂 Been waiting all week for Ep3.. it didnt dissapoint.. great editing , great achievment 🤙
This is top class content! Edited superbly. Amazing shots and storytelling, and an amazing accomplishment. Thoroughly enjoyed the series, great stuff mate!
Very good of you to say, thanks so much chap! Always enjoy watching your vids!

Drill Remix?
Congratulations and nice to see such a smiling and happy face. Thank you from Oslo 🙂
great acheivement! I really enjoyed this series, proper intrepid!
To paraphrase Del Boy, “who dares wins”. You dared and you won. Bravo!
Bravo Monsieur! Very ballsy.
Simply Superb ! Well done a fantasic job !
Well... I'm a retired windsurfer, have sold my equipment years back and I agree that light wind is scary and heavy wind is scary too, the sweet spot in-between never lasts long! On a long haul you don't have the luxury to change sail surface so you must know your capabilities very well and pray that the weather forecast is good. This crossing unassisted is a great achievement, congratulations. I watched the complete series about your trip, very well made and again bravo!
Why light wind is scary?
@@Str8representing In windsurfing, a threshold amount of wind is required to power the sail enough that you move. As you can probably imagine, getting stuck out to sea might not be a healthy habit
As a man who gets sea sick, TH-cam sent me this marvellous series. Bravo on your achievement. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
The algorithm brought me here, and I'm thankful it did! What a fantastic series of films. Chapeau! Congratulations on a great achievement.
Great fun. Impressive. Well done Henry.
Was a great pleasure to see your challenge. In those days it s nice to see the common people doing incredible things. Thank you for sharing your emotions. Regards from Poland.
Congratulations from Argentina! Amazing aventure
Genial!! Salute….You’re a bloody legend… from an Aussie sailboarder! 🦘🇦🇺🌏
Out standing son , so impressed.
Well done mate, from Australia
Welcome to the club of legends. Congratulations Henry, Bravo !
Many congratulations. Great watch 🎉
Been windsurfing as a teen and young adult. Gave up on it when my kids were born but vids like this make me wish I never quit... Maybe I will make a comeback in 2024...best Sport in the World
Chapeau, Henry! An epic adventure. I remember Guy Cribb and Antoine Albeau crossed from France to England about 15 years ago, but there were two of them and they had a support boat. It just shows you what you can do with years of building knowledge, experience and ability. Windsurfing isn't just about the PWA and blasting along at 30+ knots feet away from other racers. They are the jetskis to your cabin cruiser. Windsurfing is fun even in lighter winds when the challenge can be getting from one place to another and overcoming adversity. Don't get me wrong - the PWA folk are amazing, but windsurfing can be so much more. Well done! I am very much looking forward to your next adventure, but it's OK if it's not as scary as this one 🙂
Excellent film and congrats on the journey. You tube serves the best content when someone does something cool and has an engaging style to be able to bring us along.
Absolutely amazingly astounding……
👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Henry
Being out on the open sea like that is my biggest fear lol good for you man!
Another one who just stumbled upon these last few vids. Massively well done. Most entertaining and informative videos.
Many congratulations to you. Brilliant videos
Well done Henry. I've enjoyed watching this series
Enhorabuena! Mission accomplished!
What an awesome trip! It’s rarely that you see a true adventure like this, really breaking the mould and achieving something unique. Well done, Henry!
Really good series, have enjoyed your adventure
Bloody fantastic my friend.
Amazing! Really glad I found this series. Good stuff. Thanks Henry! Congratulations 🙂
Wow incredible. So very well done what a huge effort to reach your goal ...amazing .
France must have been surprised to receive someone upon her shore instead of individuals travelling to ours lol .
Well done.
Bravo, young man. Reminds me of the time we ‘tested’ two new sails boards in Brittany kindly purchased by the Students Union at University College Cardiff Summer 1978. Happy days. Well done, sir.
That was a great adventure. Well done. It was a great pleasure to follow you . Welcome to France.. 😊👍👍👍
Gratulation. This is my first comment on TH-cam, but this movie was great!
Haha absolutely brilliant, massive well done
Very enjoyable thank you. Not into sailing but this showed up and respect to yu buddy
So impressive. I’m not sure why but I didn’t really get that into Jon Dunnets sail round Britain. But love the low key videos. Hats off to you. An amazing achievement.
Excellent work, congratulations!
Congratulations, Henry 👏👏
Was eagerly awaiting this section to be uploaded, and it was an absolute joy to watch. Great editing and presentation all round. I look forward to your next adventure. 👍
Fantastic! Thanks for filming and sharing your awesome adventure. I loved watching every minute of it.
hats down lad. i want to do a kitesurf trip on even a bigger scale. so far i was told it can not be done. you just proved me that it can be done. thanks
Fair play. That takes some planning, some skill and some bollocks.
Never watched a sailing or wind surfing video in my life. But this was tremendous! Absolute legend!
Awesome effort. Great idea, well executed. Thanks for taking us with you!
Fantastic adventure!!! Congratulations!
Congratulations mate. Well done. Awesome video series.
Hat’s of mate ! What an incredible adventure ! I have been windsurfing for 35 years and I would not have the courage to do that trip alone ! Respect !!! ✌️👊👊
Congratulations. The videos must have taken so much effort, over and above the sailing itself. I'm inspired.
HUGE! Well done Henry, this is an amazing demonstration of how one extraordinary feats can be achieved by a single human
Your determination and positive attitude are an inspiration and a delight to watch
Well done Henry, brilliant adventure, you have inspired me to get my old windsurfer out of the shed and back on the water. I have always dreamed of doing a good carve gybe!😊
What a great adventure and a wonderfull experience what you can share with people the rest of your life! Cheers from NL
Great video - great enthusiasm and brilliantly put together - always dreamed of doing that crossing maybe one day! You inspired me to do more adventures on the sea
This has to be one of the best videos I’ve seen on TH-cam this year. Your knowledge of the conditions and geography of the English Channel was impressive and informative. Your enthusiasm was infectious. Inspirational is the word that comes to mind. Well done for putting together these 3 videos . The world needs more people like you. Best of luck mate. Look forward to your next adventure. Btw I’ve shared this to a few like minded pals.
That's a fabulous and such a lovely comment... Its really special when people just like you take the time to send such a nice message to Henry. well done you...
Absolutely Brilliant. Not a challenge to be taken lightly, by any stretch, with lots of curve balls to deal with and a good quota of plan B's. A true inspiration to anyone set to embark on an expedition or risky adventure showing knowledge and professionalism will reduce your risks and help you achieve. Thanks for all the effort to allow total strangers to share your experience 👏👏👏
What a madlad. Awesome!
An amazing series!
Did they ask any questions on border control on the way back in? Like ‘Hey where’s your entry stamp’?
was going to ask the same thing
how do you deal with border authorities in that situation?
congratulations on making it !
I would like to know the answer to this too.
@@bertalanvoros Chap probably feel that the rules doesn't apply to him just like those drug smugglers, human traffickers and murderers on the run.
Really well-done , on the journey and the video series. Can't wait to see what's next.
Bravo Henry , original initiative, gentil comportement & super video. Bienvenu
Great job. & a fascinating watch. summed up the complexities of the sporting / adventurers mentality.... simultaneously trying to stay focussed , but also remembering to enjoy it too. that early cramp must have been a bit concerning, but it's like the typical FA cup final cramp that they always used to talk about... nervous energy...you need it to fuel you, but it can get in the way too, especially unsupported you can't just have a lie down for 2 mins and call the physio on. Congrats again !
Well done Henry, really great to follow this challenge. Hats off to you in pulling it off in style.
Merci Heny et Bravo ! Awsome endeavour. Merci TH-cam algo
Fantastic! Not only was the sailing incredible, you also embody what I as a Swede see as what is best about the English character. Thanks!
What an accomplishment, you must be very proud of yourself. It was great to follow the journey alongside you, thanks a lot.
A stunning, inspiring adventure! Thanks so much for sharing it. Congratulations!
Very cool. Congrats!! 👏👏
Well done, amazing.
Well done. Respect!
I knew from the first episode when I noticed your resting face is smiling that you were going to make it. Congratulations Henry on both a terrific windsurfing achievement and excellent storytelling!
Congratulations Henry! It was a great challenge, conquered with a lot of determination and commitment. Good job!
Epic! Amazing adventure and amazing video work ... Congrats!
Loved this entire series - well done
Well done buddy, awesome achievement.
Amazing. Very inspirational, enjoyed every minute of the adventure. I've always loved setting long distance goals, and here I am thinking 10 miles to an island is a lot (well, risk wise there sure is ha)! The 100 miles in 1 session is ridiculous too, now if only the wind would stay around for me as long as it did for you! Keep sending it 🤙
Amazing Henry! Well done you!! Cracking achievement and great fun following you 😊
Lovely work and great the way you shared your achievement-awesome 🎉
Well done HC, cheers 🍻
Fabulous achievement- looked amazing 💪
What a delightful man
Absolutely magnificent work Henry, really inspirational stuff! Hearty congrats
Thanks a lot Tom! See you at Hayling!
Fantastic Henry having followed all 3 parts. Great achievement. I’m surprised you didn’t see any rubber boats coming the other way..😂
Keep the good work up. Look forward to your next project.
Jools 💪💪🍾🍾🍾👊🇬🇧
Wow what a Journey and total respect from a fellow windsurfer.
Well done Henry 👍
Well done, great achievement.
Bravo, a beer well deserved. Tu l’as fait 🎉
Thanks v much!
Very impressive! Enjoy all your vids...
Awesomeate job bro! I was waiting for the final episode. Nice!
Amazing adventure! I was this year around Le Touquet and Cap-Gris-Nez and was thinking, how it would be to surf over the channel. Now I know:) I'm surprised that it still took 4 hours. I thought it would go faster.
Legend, well done 👍🏼
Congrats! Awesome mini series to watch. Looking forward to your next challenge!
Great vid and a fine achievement
Incredible!
woohoo! great job!
Congratulations!
