[@joshuapatrick682]

This is what KZbin 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!

[@Hilts931]

[@vineleak7676]

Wind surfing is basically sailing with a broken mast and without the ability to sit down 😂

[@tbrowniscool]

It's actually insane how wind surfing works. Hats off to you Henry this was an epic watch! SUBBED

[@patrickseydler6001]

Best three windsurf videos I have ever seen

[@hrhbucket4268]

Welcome to the club of legends. Congratulations Henry, Bravo !

[@cromwellg60]

Can you imagine being on the ferry to France sipping tea, reading the paper and seeing this mad bastard come wind surfing past. Mad lad

[@markyboyclark]

You did it! Nice one Henry!

[@chaigh53]

One of the best windsurf series of videos ever. Well done. Entertaining. Loved the bit of Bach.

[@tomedom5107]

Good effort H. A difficult but attainable ambition fulfilled.

[@francoislancon798]

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!

[@Str8representing]

Why light wind is scary?

[@MissileGuidance]

​@@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

[@norbertolarrosa813]

Congratulations from Argentina! Amazing aventure

[@plmengineer9238]

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 👏👏👏

[@lnbadi]

Congratulations Henry! What a way to end the Summer! Nothing better than watching you cross the English channel to go steal some "Bière" from the Frenchies! Well Done!

[@johnwilde4916]

Bloody fantastic my friend.

[@rothschildspigeon6390]

Superb. Thoroughly enjoyed watching. Been looking forward to part 3. Beautifully edited too. Just beats my sailing high….🙂….

[@jmark4852]

[@RicktheRecorder]

Great series. Buoyant good humour was infectious.

[@robertduggan674]

Incredible Henry Cartwright. Superb series. Longboard enthusiast.

[@markburton8303]

The algorithm brought me here, and I'm thankful it did! What a fantastic series of films. Chapeau! Congratulations on a great achievement.

[@martinbailly573]

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 !!! ✌️👊👊

[@soggybottom3463]

Well done! What an adventure, thank you so much and well done again!! 👍👏👏👏

[@henrycartwright3673]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@andysurridge]

Absolutely fantastic my friend well done 😀👍🍻

[@Dertrend]

What a fantastically cheerful adventure!

[@AlainNLDB]

Wow, RESPECT! Well done!

[@bluegblueg]

Thanks, really enjoyed that. I started windsurfing aged 14 some 44 years ago, I crossed the channel with a mate when we were 19. It was tough, but the kit was nowhere as good as the gear you have today. No way we could have done it unsupported. You did a fantastic job great commentary and great sailing skills. 1 fall! Amazing. Makes me want to break out my bow ancient kit and start windsurfing again!

[@baroldable]

Absolutely amazingly astounding…… 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you Henry

[@carljanisewski]

Magic sir . Many thanks for sharing with us all .

[@colinwilliams9290]

I have absolutely no interest in windsurfing but man have I enjoyed watching this, a massive well done to you sir👏👏

[@chaslou2]

[@briers9]

As a man who gets sea sick, KZbin sent me this marvellous series. Bravo on your achievement. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@shaneyoung1690]

Not bad sir well done sir time for Rum

[@davidcousins3508]

I know absolutely nothing about windsurfing..but this mini series was absorbing, great viewing thanks 👍

[@MikeBrown-dk7or]

Great ending to a real adventure. A big thank you, Henry.

[@robweebo]

Genial!! Salute….You’re a bloody legend… from an Aussie sailboarder! 🦘🇦🇺🌏

“The beauty of their women and the taste of their food make brits the best sailors in the world.”

[@jakdyb]

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.

[@kev596]

Out standing son , so impressed.

[@MarkASear]

I know nothing about windsurfing. Doesnt interest me at all. But I absolutely loved this series. Crazy YouTibe algo nonsense ... but super enjoyable. "How civilised, France in time for lunch". A classic commentary.

[@kgm1965]

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 🙂

[@3olivernelson]

Amazing achievement and brilliantly presented.

[@mince07]

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!

[@susanmarshall2707]

Many congratulations. Great watch 🎉

[@petrofilmeurope]

[@Damian_Hunt]

Well done, amazing.

[@johankroes19]

Congrats!! What an achievement!!!👍👍👍👍

[@zacmitty7851]

Well done indeed, Henry. With so much content produced by riff raff who are unable to speak English properly (Prince Harry for example) and chew their vowels, it's a pleasure to hear your commentary.

[@Oldmanofthewood]

Hats off Henry mate I admire your courage I think the best I managed was across the Camel Estuary back in the 80s!

[@cliveburks]

Brilliant well done great entertainment and scenery more please

[@reesh1940]

[@canoebadour]

[@bridgetoofar]

Amazing series - really enjoyed it - pure adventure! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@micgent]

Very well done and thank you for bringing us along.

[@Mark-pp7jy]

This was so good, for so many reasons. The simplicity, yet sophistication of the equipment. Henry's enthusiasm, and joy like a young lad walking to the candy store! The shipping behemoths navigating the channel, and of course the history of the greatest armada with a singular mission, to restore and preserve freedom, for so many people. Thanks for taking us along Henry! ✌️❤️ 🇺🇲 Mark

[@alfovebraseth]

Great - congratulations

[@rafabeton609]

I'm not into windsurfing, but your journey is truly inspiring. Congratulations Henry.

[@henrycartwright3673]

Thanks so much for having me to stay and the impromptu tracking responsibilities!!

[@simonbelton7165]

Well done Henry , I’ve not windsurfed now for about 5 years due to injuries and free time . Fallen out of love with it a bit but when I watch videos like this it ignites the love I once had for blasting across the water , excellent videos 👍
