I know nothing about windsurfing but enjoying these videos immensely. Hastings much nicer than I'd of thought, bet that beer tasted pretty spectacular too!
Excellent! What an amazing trip. You have a good dose of bravery. Going past the cliffs must have been both exhilarating and slightly scary. As you said, "It's fear that causes danger", and you kept it in check!! I've never been to Hastings. It looks like a nice little seaside town. Looking forward to part 3. 🙂
Takes me back to my windsurfing days. Though I never tried anything quite so ambitious, this really captures the spirit of windsurfing. Really good series.
Bravíssimo!!!! Following and enjoying your trip from the southern most country of the word! I would love to do such kind of trip but distances between towns here are really huge Congratulatios! Keep enjoying, I'm anxiously waiting your new deliver!
Great work Henry, really engaging adventure. So inspiring to see someone who knows and understands the Sea. great sailing knowledge too. A real inspiration to dig out my gear and get back on the water. Keep up the adventures.
Cool adventure! Coming from Maine USA where we have big tides (12 ft where I sail). Windsurfing can be tough during max flood or ebb without reliablewind. Good job with it all.
What a great adventure and so inspirational. Love the positive super friendly attitude. We need more Henry Cartwrights in the world ! Great shots of the south coast, we love it around beachy head, we have a little Dufour 32 in Sovereign harbour Eastbourne genuinely feels like you’re on holiday when you are down that way.
Well done Henry , it's fascinating watching your journey . Also it's really lovely to see the different places you visit . Wonderful to watch . Thank you very much , very entertaining 😊👏👏👏🌀🐬
Very inspiring!!! Informative seamanship, humble, and I love your down to earth postive narrative. Very happy to have discovered your channel. All the best in this, and your future endeavours!!!
Loving this so far. I've never tried windsurfing....spent a couple days having kitesurfing lessons and found that quite challenging! Looking forward to the next episode Henry.
Good work... well done! I have an inflatable Startboard WindSUP. Not sure the trip would be as comfortable on that! However, the air and water temps are more agreeable here in Southern China! Looking forward to the next episode 👍
Great Video, great Landscapes, awesome adventure. South England is really beautiful. I‘m wondering that there are nearly no other surfers or kiter. Greetings from Germany
Nice, Simon taught me to sail dinghy during my brief introductory membership to the NSSC and sailing in general, really nice guy and club and a fun Easter egg while watching this great entertaining video
Awesome dude. I windsurfed ~’85 to ‘95. Those shots where you had some wind hit me like a ton of bricks. I could totally feel it in my soul. Can’t wait for the crossing. 🤙 from Huntington Beach California
Amazing, such a great adventure. Always wanted to just keep sailing on and on. Did it once up Bridlington 5.4 sail, old BIC speed needle board and 30 plus knots just kept going and going. The problem was I had to walk parts back lol. You are living the dream.
Wow Eastbourne Pier looks majestic. It's like a windsurfing history lesson. Well done I'm seriously loving this adventure. Keep sailing. I hope starboard pick you up and sponsor you.
Having grown up windsurfing all along the south coast, I know most of those spots well. Now living in Scotland this has inspired me to do some touring around the islands next summer
Fab video's Henry, I am loving the content. I am a yachtsman so I have a good knowledge of the sea and how fickle she can be. You have balls of steel my friend.
Great adventure Henry. I gave up watching TV many years ago because of much more interesting content like this. Your zest for life shows through and it's always good to see people who will say why not instead of why when a challenge comes along.
A great update to episode 1. I know all those places fairly well, visited many times. Beachy Head and Newhaven have many special memories for me. It's amazing seeing just what you can do and how far you can travel using the power of nature alone. I love anything wind and solar powered.
Well played Henry. Nice little adventure sailing to new places. I'd like to know the furthest distance you have covered in a day whilst windsurfing, and what do think your potential maximum could be?
Great adventure, hope you have a good day for the crossing. Windsurfing without a support boat through one of the worlds busiest shipping lanes takes some balls.
What a fantastic adventure Henry! I have thoroughly enjoyed these last 2 videos and am eagerly awaiting the third. (just subbed👍) From a surfer without a sail, I wish you all the very best.
Amazing adventure, really looking forward to the next instalment. I’m a foil windsurfer in Cornwall and would love to have an adventure. If you ever head to Falmouth, be great to hook up for a sail 🤙😎
What a brilliant set of vids. Watched all three, three times in the last couple of days. Im desperate to get back to windsurfing after long break and this was really inspirational. Also read the book you mention which is a truelly great read. Just one small thing Hastings is East Sussex not Kent. Thanks Henry.
Hi John, thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed! I would say definitely get back into it - it's a beautiful sport and doesn't need a howling gale just to get on the water and have fun! Ah yes, I attempted to correct that county slip of the tongue in episode 3!!
Nice , great footage inc drone . Nssc is my local club , id say brighton sailing club is the trickest place to launch but lets not split hairs 😂 the varying sea conditons was intresting - your unlikley to ever be more exposed to them than on a windsurfer
How does windsurfing compare to wing/foil surfing for long distance adventures, 6 knots sounds like very little. Love the production, and spirit of the videos. Looking forward to the next episode.
My man! The absence of any narcissistic drone shots and these typical massively annoying heroic-motivational autotuned beats make this very raw and honest and a pleasure to watch. Stay safe.
Some drone shots would have been brilliant out there. So weird to automatically judge someone based on an entire camera technique... Absurd and arrogant quite frankly - drones have opened up an entire avenue of cinematography that was previously only accessible to those with vast resources, and has opened up plenty that never existed at all.
Is there a similar blog of videos of the guy who went round the entire uk? I always wanted to sail it or wind surf it but I'd reckon neither is an easy option. Good effort on your trip so far.
Brilliant so far. Nautical miles better than watching TV.
I can't believe you brought a drone with you in your backpack windsurfing. really looking forward to the rest of the series.
Gotta be done!
11:30 "Fear creates danger, not vice versa" - very wise words! 👍
I know nothing about windsurfing but enjoying these videos immensely. Hastings much nicer than I'd of thought, bet that beer tasted pretty spectacular too!
Excellent! What an amazing trip. You have a good dose of bravery. Going past the cliffs must have been both exhilarating and slightly scary. As you said, "It's fear that causes danger", and you kept it in check!! I've never been to Hastings. It looks like a nice little seaside town. Looking forward to part 3. 🙂
A super adventure, Henry. That fish and chips looked really good. Looking forward to the next episode. A big thank you.
Haha v much my speciality! Cheers Mike!
Takes me back to my windsurfing days. Though I never tried anything quite so ambitious, this really captures the spirit of windsurfing. Really good series.
Another fantastic adventure Henry thanks for taking us with you mate.
Great video. Really nice following your adventure. Love your enthusiasm that transcends throughout the entire video. Looking forward to Ep3.
Bravíssimo!!!! Following and enjoying your trip from the southern most country of the word! I would love to do such kind of trip but distances between towns here are really huge
Congratulatios! Keep enjoying, I'm anxiously waiting your new deliver!
“Fear creates danger” - classic Henry!
This is very well done. I am enjoying your channel
Luvin this! I was a windsurf nutcase back in 85! Still have all my gear including a Lightwave Custom Wave Board. Just 70L volume. Well done!
Really enjoying your epic journey, beautifully filmed and edited. Look forward to the next episode.
Absolutely brilliant! Total mad genius enthusiasm, completely inspiring
Loving this series, thank you!!
Awesome viewing Henry. I like how your resting face is a smile. That’s how I know you are going to complete your mission! Great mindset!
Very entertaining and fun. Thanks for making these videos!
Fabulous again Henry. I have sailed all along there in a Hobbie. I stopped at Portslade for the night.
Great work Henry, really engaging adventure. So inspiring to see someone who knows and understands the Sea. great sailing knowledge too. A real inspiration to dig out my gear and get back on the water. Keep up the adventures.
Cool adventure! Coming from Maine USA where we have big tides (12 ft where I sail). Windsurfing can be tough during max flood or ebb without reliablewind. Good job with it all.
Haha, awesome. Following every second!
Nice one and welcome back! Thank you!
Epic, good effort. Greetings from Salisbury !

V nice of you to say so, glad you enjoyed! Love a Dufour!

"I'm resting my head against this groyne" - well aren't you a lucky boy 😝
Really cool series, watching back to back.
Bonkers!
Definitely made in Britain.
Bravo!
Great trip, very inspiring. Looking forward to the crossing 😅. Ref. your comment about varying conditions, I would recommend an adjustable outhaul.
Thanks Nick and good call!
Fascinating stuff
I wonder what the go pro would reveal fixed under the board
Epic video all the best for the crossing ⛳
Awsome adventure Henry, love it. Hopefully you have had a safe and fun journey across to France.
Good work... well done! I have an inflatable Startboard WindSUP. Not sure the trip would be as comfortable on that! However, the air and water temps are more agreeable here in Southern China! Looking forward to the next episode 👍
Absolutely loving the series. . Good for you such a big adventure. I can’t wait to see the next show.
Love the cheeky smile cropping up as he spoke to Simon, very wholesome.
Great Video, great Landscapes, awesome adventure. South England is really beautiful. I‘m wondering that there are nearly no other surfers or kiter. Greetings from Germany
It's been many years since I've found someone worthy of subscribing to. You sir have ended that drought. Awesome content. Keep up the great work.

Did it once up Bridlington 5.4 sail, old BIC speed needle board and 30 plus knots just kept going and going. The problem was I had to walk parts back lol.
You are living the dream.
Very nice trip and cool videos! You may work on the exposure, especially on the still images :-) Keep it up! John
Wow Eastbourne Pier looks majestic. It's like a windsurfing history lesson. Well done I'm seriously loving this adventure. Keep sailing. I hope starboard pick you up and sponsor you.
Loved every minute of this, what an adventure
Having grown up windsurfing all along the south coast, I know most of those spots well. Now living in Scotland this has inspired me to do some touring around the islands next summer
I thought I was brave going from West Mersea to Bradwell!!! 🤣
What an adventure! I didn't know longboards were still around. It makes me want to get back into windsurfing. Thank you sir!
Love your adventure
Thanks - can’t wait for the next one!
Great channel that randomly popped up for me. Looking forward to more of these episodes 😊
Awesome, thank you Donald!
Found this epic journey by chance , FANTASTIC , really enjoyed so far ,well done Henry .
Fab video's Henry, I am loving the content. I am a yachtsman so I have a good knowledge of the sea and how fickle she can be. You have balls of steel my friend.
Top work once again mate!! Looking forward to the big crossing.
Great adventure Henry. I gave up watching TV many years ago because of much more interesting content like this. Your zest for life shows through and it's always good to see people who will say why not instead of why when a challenge comes along.
Brilliant!! 😊
good job, can you tell about your gear and particular preparation?
A great update to episode 1. I know all those places fairly well, visited many times. Beachy Head and Newhaven have many special memories for me. It's amazing seeing just what you can do and how far you can travel using the power of nature alone. I love anything wind and solar powered.
I'm not surprised you ate a double fish and chips. Do you eat anything, gells or bars, when your sailing? Looking forward to next installment.
Brilliant. Inspirational.
Well done dude! Excellent story telling; you've got a real talent
Inspiring. Can t wait for Part 3!
Well done Henry, looking forward to the next episode :)
Well played Henry. Nice little adventure sailing to new places. I'd like to know the furthest distance you have covered in a day whilst windsurfing, and what do think your potential maximum could be?
Great adventure, hope you have a good day for the crossing. Windsurfing without a support boat through one of the worlds busiest shipping lanes takes some balls.
Love it - not a windsurfer but respect anyone testing themselves in whatever sport they're interested in. Have a sub 👍
Shared this onto my sailing club Whatsapp group I am impressed with your endeavors. When are you going to release part 3?
Now following.
What a fantastic adventure Henry! I have thoroughly enjoyed these last 2 videos and am eagerly awaiting the third. (just subbed👍)
From a surfer without a sail, I wish you all the very best.
Great progression! finger crossed for the crossing!
Great series, I hardly watch anything good on TH-cam, but this series is great!
Amazing adventure, really looking forward to the next instalment.
I’m a foil windsurfer in Cornwall and would love to have an adventure. If you ever head to Falmouth, be great to hook up for a sail 🤙😎
Great video, popped up in my suggested so hopefully algorithms are working for you.
What a great adventure, that's some viking DNA you got there for sure
What a brilliant set of vids. Watched all three, three times in the last couple of days. Im desperate to get back to windsurfing after long break and this was really inspirational.

Great stuff! Looking forward to the rest of this. For the record though, Hastings is not in Kent.
Enjoying this adventure! London seems a long way to go for a bed though 😂
Pretty sure you can also see Liverpool Cathedral and maybe Portsmouth Cathedral from the sea!
fear creates danger is a very good point. i don't windsurf, but this applies to a whole host of other sports
Nice , great footage inc drone .
Nssc is my local club , id say brighton sailing club is the trickest place to launch but lets not split hairs 😂
the varying sea conditons was intresting - your unlikley to ever be more exposed to them than on a windsurfer
keep it up dude, loving these
This is turning into an epic. Excited for EP3
Loving the videos, have you thought of an Exmouth to Plymouth? Or Torbay , good stuff Tim
Great adventure! What is the size of your Ezzy Sail?
How does windsurfing compare to wing/foil surfing for long distance adventures, 6 knots sounds like very little. Love the production, and spirit of the videos. Looking forward to the next episode.
such an awesome video!
Well at least we know how to ship the invaders back to the mainland.. excellent mate
А если что-то оборвется? Или ветер закончится 😮
Hastings is Sussex
absolutely stunning!!! u got balls !!!! what kind of sail did u used?
Thanks! 6m ezzy!
cor, many many years ago, my old CO, bill bailey did this with a few other army mates, and he was hung over !
Great content, epic adventure (BTW Hastings is in East Sussex).
Good point! Thanks!
fyi Stephan van den Berg (NL) windsurfed from Holland to England in the '80ies.
The LSD would be terrible at Eastbourne if it was not for those groynes! Nice trip looks like fun.
do you switch the sail size or is it always the same sail?
thx for takin us on that special trip, i love such competitions, too! 😍
My man! The absence of any narcissistic drone shots and these typical massively annoying heroic-motivational autotuned beats make this very raw and honest and a pleasure to watch. Stay safe.

@@lost4468yt Agreed. And yet, they’re mostly used to feed the look-at-me needs of internet people.
But he’s got a GoPro pointing at him 😂
That took some guts, sailing though the busiest shipping route in the world
Is there a similar blog of videos of the guy who went round the entire uk? I always wanted to sail it or wind surf it but I'd reckon neither is an easy option. Good effort on your trip so far.
