Suggestion: Roof rack for soft tops with water storage for shower for the win!!

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

Epic, thanks!!

Lucas Bridges - 6 years ago

Ben, why didn't you get a van that you can fully stand up in?

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

I got a really good deal on this one & couldn't pass it up. It's also a 1500 so saving on gas, but I don't plan on this being my last van build! Next one going BIG!

Brandon Chisholm - 6 years ago

maybe some kind of roof rack for the longboards..??

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

for sure!

BRad From THe Valley - 6 years ago

that first song has the clint eastwood guitar rif. I ride a wave skater it's not a sponge! The city should have rules not to make it so dangerous there is so many ways a person could end up there not just surfing.

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

Yeah I'm gonna clean it up myself!!

If you hang the surfboards from the ceiling, make sure they are locked in and can't become flying projectiles.

I live minutes from there...Gone to that spot just to chill, watch a sunset, or look at gnarly conditions during a nor'easter or hurricane many times but never imagined anyone would surf it..LEGEND Google 'dodge promaster roof rack with ladder' ..keep the boards up there and don't loose space inside Shaka yewww

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

I've actually surfed it much better than this! & thanks for the tip!

We’re I live councils would have removed those reinforcing bars and charged those contractors who threw them there I’m so glad you didn’t get hurt just confirms were you are and what you’re supposed to be doing ; )

Smiley_ RUSS - 6 years ago

In low tide bro go in with a cordless grinder and cut the dangers away deadly spikes hurt for sure

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

I'm doing it!

John schnetzler - 6 years ago

board racks: galvanized one inch pipes from Lowes or Depot, one pair at rear door and next pair at the opening of your side sliding door at the end of your bed. Make sure pipes are threaded at both ends and attach mounting plates, which are oval and have pre-bored screw holes in them, on both ends. Put a "T" joint at the required height to attach the rack to for optimal space usage and screw in a cross member pipe to lay the boards across. Screw mounting plate bases and caps to metal structure of your van for a permanent and safe install. Slide in sticks, bungee them down and you are good to go. Unscrew cross member pipes when not using the system and they are out of the way and can also be used as a clothes hanger to dry your rubber and towels. Had one in my VW van in Oregon and they work great! Hope this helps get the ball rolling for you. Aloha! John from Hawaii

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

Awesome, thank you!

Jamie McIntosh - 6 years ago

Opening up the van I'm in awe of the life you've created. Maybe some rachet tie down straps hung from the cieling would do the trick. Definitely strong and accessible.

MrShermer - 6 years ago

To pin the boards to the top on the van without screwing. Grab a few collapsible paint poles. Add rubber feet to either end (grip) and expand the pole from the left side of the van wall to the right. That will be your shelf. Slide those shred sleds above them and hit the road.

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

EPIC!

add a lockable roof box.

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

yes!

Nestor Batlle - 6 years ago

Mr. Gravy, it's interesting how you mention these things. In previous videos but especially in your last video I noticed how there was spikes in higher places above the water and knew they were under the water. When I saw you slam into those rocks I really thought that was too dangerous. I was thinking you were gonna eventually be impaled. You, also, are not experienced to navigate those stunts there, so close to that sea wall, because no one is, unless you have an impassible body, which you don't. Please be careful

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

Thank you for the concern, I'm going to clean up the spikes

Joe Hanlon - 6 years ago

In High School, we used old leashes to hang our surf boards from our ceilings, try an old leash.

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

Brooks - 6 years ago

Just get some sort of roof rack for the longboards idk

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

dreams

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

I KNOW!!!! :/

Sam Phelps - 6 years ago

Ok so you get some little bracket large enough to hold your board up on the side wall or roof of the van . Some 4" or 5"
screws long enough to penetrate the outside skin of the van .. It must go all the way though to be structurally sound enough to hold the weight of the board ... Install brackets then drive back down to florida to get Rob to patch the screw holes .. LOL !!!
Maybe get you a cordless angle grinder and some metal cut off wheels to clean up some of those rebar spikes at low tide to try and make elslammo a bit more user friendly ...

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

I am on it, thanks!!

CheeseGrittz - 6 years ago

Can you explain what el slammo is my friend and I are having a debate whether it’s a specific spot where you live or just about any close out on shore spot.

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

El Slammo used as a noun is a specific surf spot by my house, but El Slammo used as a verb can be any breaking wave!!

Tanya Healy - 6 years ago

I subbed after watching you on one of your brothers vids! I would watch a beach scrap day with the entire Fam!.......Sasquatch bobcat style beach day!!!......yewwwww

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

haha!! Great idea

Kurt Llewellyn - 6 years ago

Ben I’m pretty sure kids are surfing that left ? That would be awful if any of those groms got into that crap. Is there no swimming signs there? The cops let you surf there so I guess not. I knew that was a rough spot but damn that’s not good. Oh ya I don’t want you to get hurt either. Sober for the health Yew!

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

I know I have to handle this situation, thanks Kurt!!

Get some bolt cutters and get ride of the rebar. Also you should have gotten the high top version of the van.

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

haha of course I should've

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

I'm on it!

magic cheeseball - 6 years ago

when did they dump that scrap there? i hope you don't surf that spot again anytime soon way too sketch, its like playing Russian roulette, you got lots of great novelties coming up on your tour it wouldn't be worth risking your life on that el sketcho spot, maybe contact the city on cleaning it up it might be illegal to dump scrap like that in that area.

magic cheeseball - 6 years ago

oh ok i hope its just on the shore edge and not too far out where you surf, yikes!

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

It's been there, but with the new sand pulled out were seeing the true intensity

Charlie Roney - 6 years ago

Roof storage box with different levels, and a slide out function, it is easily doable within a metal lockbox on a track, you could even have it slide out of the box for board and wetsuit storage, you can reclaim the underside of your bed for water and hook up an outdoor shower, Ben you can have it all with the van, a skoolie would have given you more room but the semi promaster has alot of potential, and it is newer, but ask Tucker F Upper, I am sure he would help and get alot acomplished, this is his domain, he probibly finds perfect Keep Life items like a large enough cabinet to fit boards, metal for it to slide out on a hinge, Tucker F Upper can help the dream come to life.

Charlie Roney - 6 years ago

if you have the metal it can easily be bolted together

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

SO much epicness! Thanks!

J.M. Hanover - 6 years ago

Throwing that love right back at you brother. It will be always for the dream.
When you surf those crazy spots you have to be a little insane, that's what makes it all worth it. Anybody can surf a 1 foot wave breaking off some rocks but when you throw those rocks, some rebar, concrete steps and some old wood into the mix and stir it all around then it becomes real. Actually adding some size would probably make it safer because it would break further offshore and away death zone.
Keep the brand growing!
NNFTW!

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

Size is the key !!

Didymostruespeak - 6 years ago

We have a ton of vanlifers here in Encinitas and for the longboards they put a rack on the side of the van that locks. so the boards are outside on the side of the van. you know locking rack or on the back in a locking rack in your case may be on top. Taking a bunch of crap to the dump today then I'm going to fit in a surf session midday in the Wind

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

Devin Boehm - 6 years ago

Couple eye screws into the ceiling then a couple pieces of rope with some clips so you can hang them boards when you want and then only have the screws up there when you don't have them hanging. Can un-clip the rope from the eye screws and keep it out of the way. Idk?

Dude...you need to have a serious de-spiking session down there with a crew at low tide with some cordless grinders, cut-off saws and sledge hammers. We don't need a perforated pineapple surfer in our vlogs :( If I lived closer, I'd be all over that stuff for ya...I'd be cuttin, grindin, beatin and smashin that stuff to bits!!! I'd hate to see you stop surfing one of you favorite spots BUT...nuff said! PLEASE play and stay safe! Looking forward to the "Sober and Stoked" doc and the upcoming X-Country tour...yeewww! Cheers, John ;)

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

I know I'm gonna get on it!!!

John Egan - 6 years ago

Yeah, needs to be done...not just for Ben but for everybody who uses that beach...that kind of stuff should be against the law! Cheers, John ;)

Wow those spikes are mean looking man. It’s crazy how you can be so close to danger and not even know it. There’s a spot I used to surf frequently where I live, one days the tide drained out and in notice a huge rock in the middle where the waves break, I never even knew it was there it was crazy. Stay safe guys.

Shoots--since you put the trim on the roof in the corners--how about 2 round anchors, and rope or bungee to hang the longboards overhead? Or two cargo load bars (uses the extension and pressure from either side) and hang the boards on those.

I still say you need one or two extreme cold sleeping bags in case you have to sleep in really cold weather (or get stuck in the snow or something). Those sheets on the bed will not be enough for sub-freezing conditions, especially if your battery goes dead and you can't heat the van. Any sleeping bag companies out there want to sponsor Ben? Please hook him up.

dg5301 - 6 years ago

Not disagreeing in any way that litter is a huge problem worldwide, but just want to point out that most of what we saw in the video were remnants of older docks and some reinforcing bar (rebar) from broken up concrete that was used as jetty & bulkhead material back in the day, before the larger rocks we see there now. Luckily, they don't use that type of stuff much anymore, for obvious reasons.

Shane Walter - 6 years ago

Se7en Blessings if I were ruler littering would be a very serious crime. You are trashing the habitat we all share, actually the plants and our insects and animals share with us,we are invaders and have all but destroyed everything. Again our only jobs right now is saving the habitat that we have left. If your job doesn't do this then it's not needed, sorry you big children won't be able to play with your toys or paint their faces with chemicals. People just will not give any of this total shit up even if it is going to save our planet and give their children a future. I think that says it, if your not willing to give up the shit you don't need at all now to survive in order to help clean up this worldwide disaster there is nothing that can help us. All the shit they have been putting in our foods ,water and air along with the very specific programming we are bombarded from an early age and other factors we are in a wash and will not come out clean, or even come out at all.

Screw or velcro a travel bag or stretchy pocket type thing (maybe out of wetsuit material) to your roof that the boards can just slip in and out of.. could b a solution .

The dream?

Man, i guess they don't call it skeleton bay for nothin. As you very well know, we call what your doing getting a break "wired". It can be the difference between injury or worse. Pineapple slowly getting bigger, and bigger ftw.

HEA VY!!

Wow! Those spikes made feel sick, how lucky have you and all of the people that surfed there been to not have hurt themselves on those.. You’d have to chances of gettin me in to the water around all that, and one of them is none.. I can’t say the other one!
