Anybody else smile and laugh when Ben got his first barrel?

+Ben Gravy I'm an old geezer now, started surfing in 1964 when everybody had long boards because that's all they made. You remind me so much of my enthusiasm when I was a pup. You're an inspiration, love the 'tude dude. And you are 1 million percent right, be positive in everything you do, life's too short to do otherwise and that positive energy will guide your trip through time. Enjoy my friend, enjoy!!!

Chad Carlberg - 6 years ago

Next time your wife or girlfriend is acting cuckoo birds, reflect on how freaking supportive women are when they love us (like Ben's girlfriend). Notice how automatically she celebrates his happiness! And imagine a guy being that unconflicted and wholeheartedly in the moment.

Hi there, just wanted to say that this is the funnest and most dream-full vid I've ever seen..Such fun and positive vibes!!

What’s with the dorky nose plugs? Edit: just finished watching this. Congratulations, Ben. You da man!

Ben Gravy - 6 years ago

hahaha

poonanny - 6 years ago

why did you wear a nose plug. Were you worried about the brain eating ameba? @bengravy

da Surf Engine App - 6 years ago

So I'm just another peep wondering about the nose clip too - my first thought was in precaution to wave pools in general due to the BSR scare which was actually per their lake/cable resort-not pool.....I have a habit of just perking my upper lip to cover both nostrils which was my secret of not getting water up my nose as I hated that as a kid - ha!

da Surf Engine App - 6 years ago

Oh but beyond my one little trying to be different insight - this was one of your most entertaining clips by far - only Ben Gravy could see the possibilities for every type of surfer and wave at this pool :) Kudos!!!

miquel Mas - 6 years ago

Congratulations dude!! That was epic!! Keep bringing us your positivity!!

Goober tuber - 6 years ago

Look up the Aussie outback wave pool design with Occy, those guys are really onto something with a plunger type machine that produces waves 360 degrees around it, more waves, more riders and they have only just started testing it with little 2 footers, with a bigger machine or more power it will easily create 4-6ft waves tubing both left and right with the design they have.

tobin bh - 6 years ago

Soooo hyped @bengravy... You deserve every wave bro.. Not a harder working surfer having more fun and doing such good for the sport and life style that we call surfing.. You are the best ambassador for our sport.. As u always say "the best surfer is the one having the most fun" and you you personify the joy and aloha positivity that surfing brings to people. Much love from New Zealand

Lyle Palmers - 6 years ago

Ben, Thanks for sharing as you always do. It was incredible and Inspirational to see how stoked and appreciative you were to be there. I'm 31 yrs old and live in VA Beach and Kitty Hawk and grew up surfing and for a very long time was my greatest passion. So much so, that in 2009 I saved money for a year and moved to Playa hermosa Costa Rica from Feb 2010 to Apr. 2011. But soon after returning I got into a car accident and injured my back and that resulted in being given pain med from 2 doctor. Long story some what shorter, over a year I became addicted. My Opiate addiction sent me in a downward spiral and I did a lot of things I'm not proud of but as of 2018 I have been clean from the 5 years. From watching your videos over the last 5 months you have helped me to ignite that passion within me again that I had lost and I'm in the process of ordering 2 Custom boards from Whalebone Surf Shop. I apologize for this extremely long message but I wanted to convey why I appreciate and how much I appreciate what it is you do for all of us everyday. For the Dream bro, keep Killin it. Thank You Sincerely

John Dunbar - 6 years ago

dude could you imagine if Michelle Obama was in that big pool without the machine on and if they hung a roasted pig just out of her reach above her head? the waves would be 11 foot tall easy. that big woman would create some huge waves with those fatty arm wings. Dang had to edit after watching whole thing. What if Oprah got in there. would you use a long board or short?

The wave is probably more fun to surf than watch. Predictable sections get old. After watching the contest on TV I was bored with it. Ben spiced it up again, but short term. Wave to surf....not watch.

I've never really been a surf fan but those images you caught were outstanding and your families mindset is awesome, Keep on pushing and living the Dream. Thanks for the video. Peace

Grace 4 All - 6 years ago

How does it feel to one day be goofing around n making YouTube videos for fun, to the next getting personal invites from Kelly Slater himself in the flesh to hang out and surf with him at his own private surf ranch on a groundbreaking state of the art artificial wave he created. It almost felt like I was there with you. You captured it beautifully bro and big big shout out to your companion your beautiful woman she did a great job filming and that smile she has can cheer up anyone. Hats off bro! Congratulations! Yeeewww! The dream is real

"Good Mornin"???...what happened to "Big Dog!"...you were so civil and polite to Kelly when you met him it hurt...lol! Dude, you were so mellow before you got in the pool but I know you just wanted to explode inside and it made me smile...I can't imagine how you felt. Yeah Ben...quite the view from the inside of that barrel...like Jordan said "YOU NAILED IT"...you semi-pro legend you...YEEWWW!!! Act 1...complete success!!! Act 2...only you would surf those novelties or even consider them surfable...that's you in a nutshell...go to Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch and surf novelties...lol! Act 3 Ben Gravy at the Surf Ranch...it's all history now...well done Ben! =) What can you say???...Quite a piece of work that wave pool is and the hospitality?...What more could you ask for?...and no Ben...it wasn't a dream...it was REAL!!! Kelly...you are a legend and a gentleman...hat's off to you for letting Ben surf your pool! KS, BG, JV & EM For The Win...and a BIG FAT YEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Cheers, John ;)

8:44 You certainly are somebody, brother; you're our east-coast surfing mascot, spreading stoke and inspiring people like me to get their sh*it together and start waking up at 4:30am everyday so I can chase my dreams, and surf as much as possible on my Ben Gravy 7'0 soft top in my Hyperflex Voodoo 6/5/4 with 7mil hood & booties in cold-ass new england waters. Because who cares about numb fingers and some snotsicles when the dream is on! This video was so epic, and you're a fking legend. Live the dream and keep spreading stoke and inspiration. You went from bummed out, injured, heavy drinker to having 53K subs, multiple sponsors, your own surf/skateboard models, hanging with legendary pro surfers including Kelly Slater, surfing his surf ranch and getting pitted all over the place in 3 years! And you have a partner who clearly loves you & supports your dream. NEXT-LEVEL LEGEND STATUS! YEW! #NNFTW

C Dunk - 6 years ago

Teared up and laughed every other second. Thank you for hopefully getting me back out in the water.

John Egan - 6 years ago

+C Dunk Haha...San Diego, eh? I have made a very good friend through Ben's comment section and he's from San Diego. He has a YouTube channel called The Phoenix and has been surfing for years. Check out his channel and you may see some familiar places. Yeah, it's even getting crowded up here at the popular spots like Lawrencetown Beach just outside of our capital city of Halifax. If you travel a few minutes more though you get the beach pretty much to yourself around here...tons of breaks to surf! It's funny that you are a shaper as a local shaper of wooden boards, Brian Carey of Aeon Surfboards is the one who actually let me try a real surfboard for the very first time last year and between him and Ben helped get me hooked on surfing. You shapers rock! I just checked out your boards...nice work dude...keep up the good work. I hope you enjoy your new found joy for surfing again...Ben kinda does that to people ;)

C Dunk - 6 years ago

+John Egan Nova Scotia, damn, good on you. Yes, shaping surfboards. I did that through out the 80s and early 90s. Grew up in San Diego then moved to LA. Just couldn't take the crowds and limited good surf spots and just let it go. In 2016 was in Hawaii and was lucky enough to be there during the Eddie Invitational and totally got the bug back. Here a link to the boards I've made. Keep up the stoke.

John Egan - 6 years ago

+C Dunk I forgot to ask, when you say you've been shaping again does that mean shaping boards or getting in shape yourself???...just curious...Cheers, John ;)

John Egan - 6 years ago

+C Dunk I just turned 55 this August and I just had my last surf sesh of the season for me on Oct 21. I bought a Ben Gravy Hyperflex 4/3 this year and it's at it's limit with our water and air temperatures up here in Nova Scotia. I also don't have any gloves or hood or I might still be out there. Anyhow, I'm sooo stoked for you man...get out there and get some and let me know how you did! I will post some of my sessions from this summer after I get a new video editor and some more memory for my computer and you will see how I progressed this year. I only got out there 7 times as it's at least a 2 hour drive to any surfable beginner beach up here so it makes it hard to just grab the board and go. Looking forward to hearing from you again...stay in touch in the comment section and GO FOR IT!!! Cheers, John ;)

C Dunk - 6 years ago

+John Egan Thanks John, I'm 55 and have been shaping again. Hopefully next week I'm heading out and see what happens.

John Egan - 6 years ago

Get out there C Dunk! Ben got me surfing at 54 so you can do it...yeewww!!! Cheers, John ;)

I'm curious as to why you couldn't surf the wave with your 5'6"?

Guys, Ben just experienced what being in the 1% is all about. I don't know how he's going to come out the other side of this. Seriously though, congrats Ben. A lot of people getting enjoyment from your enjoyment.
