Brilliant so far. Nautical miles better than watching TV.

“Fear creates danger” - classic Henry!

11:30 "Fear creates danger, not vice versa" - very wise words! 👍

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!

Watch out for the dingy divers coming over in the opposite direction.....😂

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!

This is awesome. Love it. I’m a sailor from Oz. Ex Brit - left as a kid in the early 80s. I’m so happy that young people still have spirit of adventure. I watch with a constant smile on my face!

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!

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. 🙂

Well done Henry. Always liked the idea of long distance windsurfs so great to see someone doing one a documenting it so well. Look forward to the next episode!

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.

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!

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.

Bonkers! Definitely made in Britain. Bravo!

Really enjoying your epic journey, beautifully filmed and edited. Look forward to the next episode.

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 video. Really nice following your adventure. Love your enthusiasm that transcends throughout the entire video. Looking forward to Ep3.

This is very well done. I am enjoying your channel

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.

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!

Haha, awesome. Following every second!

Nice one and welcome back! Thank you!

I thought I was brave going from West Mersea to Bradwell!!! 🤣

Absolutely brilliant! Total mad genius enthusiasm, completely inspiring

Loving this series, thank you!!

Fascinating stuff I wonder what the go pro would reveal fixed under the board

Epic, good effort. Greetings from Salisbury !

Great videos,really professionally done .Great adventure spirit 🤘

Fabulous again Henry. I have sailed all along there in a Hobbie. I stopped at Portslade for the night.

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.

Thanks Nick and good call!

Brilliant!! 😊

Very entertaining and fun. Thanks for making these videos!

Love the cheeky smile cropping up as he spoke to Simon, very wholesome.

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.

Thanks - can’t wait for the next one!

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.

Very nice trip and cool videos! You may work on the exposure, especially on the still images :-) Keep it up! John

Wow, huge respect from me, absolutely subscribing to your channel.

Love your 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

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!!!

"I'm resting my head against this groyne" - well aren't you a lucky boy 😝 Really cool series, watching back to back.

Brilliant. Inspirational.

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 👍

Epic video all the best for the crossing ⛳

Well done dude! Excellent story telling; you've got a real talent

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 😊👏👏👏🌀🐬

Found this epic journey by chance , FANTASTIC , really enjoyed so far ,well done Henry .

Great progression! finger crossed for the crossing!

Loved every minute of this, what an adventure

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.

great series!

Hastings is Sussex

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.

What an adventure! I didn't know longboards were still around. It makes me want to get back into windsurfing. Thank you sir!

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.

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

Absolutely loving the series. . Good for you such a big adventure. I can’t wait to see the next show.

Awsome adventure Henry, love it. Hopefully you have had a safe and fun journey across to France.

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.

Inspiring. Can t wait for Part 3!

Great channel that randomly popped up for me. Looking forward to more of these episodes 😊

Awesome, thank you Donald!

Top work once again mate!! Looking forward to the big crossing.

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.

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.

such an awesome video!

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.

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

As someone who has sailed that course myself on a 21 foot sloop rig boat, I think your passage a great accomplishment, so very well done sir for your extreme effort..

Love it - not a windsurfer but respect anyone testing themselves in whatever sport they're interested in. Have a sub 👍

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

What a great adventure, that's some viking DNA you got there for sure

Great series, I hardly watch anything good on KZread, but this series is great!

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.

keep it up dude, loving these

Well done Henry, looking forward to the next episode :)

good job, can you tell about your gear and particular preparation?

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 🤙😎

Shared this onto my sailing club Whatsapp group I am impressed with your endeavors. When are you going to release part 3? Now following.

This is turning into an epic. Excited for EP3

А если что-то оборвется? Или ветер закончится 😮

fear creates danger is a very good point. i don't windsurf, but this applies to a whole host of other sports

Great stuff! Looking forward to the rest of this. For the record though, Hastings is not in Kent.

Great video, popped up in my suggested so hopefully algorithms are working for you.

Enjoying this adventure! London seems a long way to go for a bed though 😂

Well at least we know how to ship the invaders back to the mainland.. excellent mate

Fair play mate cracking job

Astonishing……..

Pretty sure you can also see Liverpool Cathedral and maybe Portsmouth Cathedral from the sea!

That took some guts, sailing though the busiest shipping route in the world

amaaaazing!

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

Very nice video

Fantastic 😂

cool drone shots

amazing! can’t wait for the channel push.

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?

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.

Great content, epic adventure (BTW Hastings is in East Sussex).
