Merry Xmas Henry🤙🇬🇧

haha you cant sup on a winds...... shit. *pulls out the windsurfer LT*

this might look stupid but its actually really helpful when buying a chill-board

I found an old windsurf board at a local thrift store to use as a beginner's paddleboard. After watching this video, it seems obvious that that would have been a waste of money. Thank You.

One day I will learn that off by heart

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream-and not make dreams your master; If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And-which is more-you’ll be a Man, my son!

Nice. I attempted Hillhead to Newport last October, but stopped at the Folly Inn instead. For anyone considering such a trip... Lovely crossing outbound (1hr 30); Medina's lovely; a pub lunch is always good, but Harbour Master is not overly keen on ppl paddling through Cowes; the Solent is very tidal ( 4hr crossing back) and crossing it on a board is like crossing a Motorway on a spacehopper. Crossing the Solent on a paddle board does feel like crossing a motorway on a space hopper. 2/5 would not recommend. Love your videos.

Volume the board?

Why Henry!? God invented windsurfing so you wouldn’t have to paddle 😂😂

Words! 🤟

Very brave challenge.💪

Well Done Henry An EPIC Crossing to the Isle of Wight & Back to HISC Sailing Club at Hayling Island on the same day... Fantastic Achievement Superstar

Great vid. I think you burned more than 2800 cals

Nice one Henry. There's potential for a new line in "IF", 'If there's no wind, then .....'

Excellent 👍👍

Here in the San Francisco Bay paddle boarding is done by starting at the Gate (up wind) preferably 20kwinds to create swell , a small paddle is used for balance as you ride from swell to swell and travel some eleven miles to Berkeley ca. (downwind) . This is extremely difficult and only the top few athletes can do this. If you are interested you can look up paddle boarding in the San Francisco Bay . Have a great day Henry.

Awesome Henry I bet the stomach muscles are sore after that one. One for the books. Peace from San Francisco

I gave you a thumbs up, but why 20 miles, when it's only around 5kms at it's nearest point?

Your board is big for the condition.

Holy Batshit Robin its extreme but doable

❤

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.

Excellent! Henry, please can you record a circumnavigate around the entire British Isles. You would be the first to do it I think. Jono Dunnett has done the UK, but nobody has done the entire British Isles. Good luck. We're all counting on you!

I gather you wear boots. What kind and could you give any advice on how best to use footsteps with boots?

Just love your vids Henry! Thanks

Crazy but so entertaining to watch. Good work Henry.

Well done!

You brave and great guy !!!!😊

Incredible effort!! You must be very fit and strong to endure such a long time out there. An endurance windsurfer, indeed! Thank you for sharing such an impressive journey. There is only one question; where to next!?

Great to see a new film! Next time you land on Sandhard (beach by Yarmouth harbour) can you get a shot of my brass memorial plates on the breakwater please?

Do you ever add up how many miles you've covered in a year? My best was just over 2000.

Great to see another video of your windsurfing antics, it’s been to long, I was starting to think you had given up KZbin. I’m a new windsurfer and hope to have a bit of an adventure one day like you one day. Keep up the good surfing and sailing, and I look forward to the next video 👍🏻

Do you foil also ? Im finding this is easier to go further but my windsurf boards are 94l and under

Great to see you back, you silly bugger. Loved it. Truly amazing stuff. This is what windsurfing is about for me. Hook in and keep chasing the horizon, although mine doesn't seem to be as far away as yours.

I reckon that is a Nonsuch 26 btw.. (the boat with a windsurf rig)

Bloody brilliant again Henry! Totally inspirational and completely mad as box of frogs, as always. Beautiful scenery.. Amazing upwind leg - impressive sailing skills!

Impressive seamanship Henry, you are a legend. Greetings from fellow sailor and windsurfer.

Great video Henry. No windsurfing in Lymington river?! Sounds rather officious to me

Nice one mate!!! Big effort

crazy as ever Henry, but brilliant too. Enjoyed that a lot!

Great video thanks . Told off by the harbor master? Does he not know who you are 😂

Congratulations on this trip! Very well done! Thank you for sharing!

What's a jubilee windsurf weekend ? So cool to have brothers and sisters AND windsurfing with them !

Absolutely superb. Tremendously inspiring!

Wow Henry amazing much admiration ! Very well done always a pleasure to watch.

Well done, Henry. You are an inspiration. Thanks for posting.

Have you thought of a lap of the island?

Hi Henry. I love this. I local (Netley) you have got me thinking about adventure windsurfing now! I guess race board kit is the most versatile?

I really enjoyed this and learned a lot about the Solent too. Looking forward to the next one.

What a Fabulous amazing 86 miles of windsurfing adventure, and a cracking good video too. Its incredible how much effort Henry puts into making and editing these fabulous videos... Well Done Henry Cartwright
