- The Hyperflex Wetsuit tour is absolutely going off! I was stoked to happen upon an 80 year old wooden kook box surfboard today & I got to surf it for my first time ever, I've actually never even seen one, let alone, got to surf one. California has waves on the way so the surf is about to be pumping for days on end. Stoked for the journey! - Ben

Ben I was beyond stoked to meet you at the A-Frame surf shop in Carpinteria a couple of days ago. I just wanted to say thank you again for your time and for being such a humble down to earth guy who represents the surf community so well. You're inspiring so many people young and old alike with your journey myself included. Keep up the great work and stay safe!

The news guy was good. The good ones always make it easy to do an interview. Especially live.
That guy had the wooden board dialed in.
WOW! Don't know where to begin, except to say that I didn't want this episode to end! ...Kevin Graham is a full on legend...supersonic guy is, well, supersonic! This vlog ! Ambassador of Aloha meet and greets with the groms and fans, Kalani and his crew bringin da stoke, and that kat with the old Mercury and that Blake board, a real throwback to the freewheelin lifestyle of those early days of surfing, Grannis, Blake, Dora et al....and Ben riding that kookbox doin a Soul arch and a quazimoto!! The Sultan Of Stoke delivers again! Mahalo aloha Ben, Jordan and Ryan. Thanks for takin us along...
Thanks for again, being such a great example of the benefits of sobriety, honesty, enjoying the moment, and making things happen. Keep going Ben!
Also, finding a wave here in AZ would be awesome, I grew up on a boogie board in Ventura, Carp, and Santa Barbara, but 20 years later and in the desert, my desert suffocating self wants to surf.
Another epic stoke filled episode! Surf Captain on the kook box was one of the coolest parts! Legend! Love to see you interacting with the fans and keeping it real Ben. And Kalani Robb! Love that dude and his antics lol. Cracks me up every time without fail
Kalani´s moves are on another level!!
@@fuzzbuzz2000 Indeed they are!
The 12ft. wooden surfboard made me think about the 9' 6 fiberglass board I learned on in the sixties. Historic ride Ben. Completely different angle on surfing then today's boards.
So cool of Brian to let you rlide a few waves on his stick...
He's the real deal 4sure...rocking that hat and striped vest on a wooden board.....🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Great vid Ben
Learnt to surf on a “12 ft Kook box “ around 1962! They were mainly used by surf lifesavers here in Australia .A lot got built so they were available .Balsa or foam and glass boards were in short supply ,and out of the reach of a twelve year old.We towed them down to the beach on bike trailers.Luckily we only had small to no surf.They had no fins ,so you spent a lot of time going sort of sideways until the rails caught.Upside they could catch any ripple.Thanks for your videos ,really enjoy them .Still surfing longboards,the older I get the better I was…..Cheers
It’s nice to see you put smiles on so many people’s faces. Watching you ride the kook box, makes me want to build one. Stay stoked! Aloha from Hawaii Ben!🤙🏻
Awesome to see Brian Bent in the video. He is a great artist and style king.
Very fun to watch. Old days surfing and goofing around. You guys got some skills. Great music as well
It must be fun to see how the stoke is spreading from Your, Jenn & Mackie's hard work! The people that come to events to see you validate it with their ear to ear smiles....Kalani Robb note---I was a manager at the Turtle Bay Hilton back in the late '80's and his Mom worked there...I was a graphic design guy and she hired me to make her son Kalani's first logotype...He was a star on the local scene while he was still in school...They made some stickers with it, but within a month he was getting signed by everybody and he took off like a rocket...He was a great kid and thanks to your vlog I can see he turned out to be a great guy all around...Awesome that you two are such great friends...
You lot all messing around, being silly and just having fun. That’s what’s it’s all about. Brilliant to watch ! 😎✌️
Damn that was so cool! Koloni collab and loved that woody! So much Cali stoke 🌞
Great episode!! Loved the Skipper Von Zipper dude with the Kookbox by Tom Blake!! Great surfing on it!!
Love to see my hometown come out to support Ben, Jordan and Mack! Actually Ben I could see you and Jordan having a 2nd home in OB. It's your vibe and there's plenty of novelty action along Sunset Cliffs. And plenty of antiques for Jordan and Fashion Valley Mall and UTC mall are within a 20 minutes drive to get her designer freak on...
Cali will always be for the Dream!
The claim: ben gravys blogs are better than primetime tv
Facts!! Large up yourself!! ✊🏾💯🌀🌊
Great to see pops out there keeping a piece of surfing history where it belongs...in the waves 👍 thanks for the content Ben
I have to admit 50yrs of surfing creek Ive never seen anyone surf the right at point into the rocks ..lol Keep the dream alive Great vid Ben
Great vid, positive vibes, the captain and his board was classic, I think you need to make one when you get back to Jersey. Thanks Ben and crew!
I remember seeing an interview with an old lady (in her 70's) some years back who was still paddling out in Cornwall, England. She talked about the wooden boards they road in her youth. She said there were people working the beach that would un-nail them after the morning session, let them dry out, re-nail them up again ready to go again.
two of my Favorite internet heroes - Ben and Brian! Would love to shred with you chaps someday.
Hi Ben, haven’t touched base in a while. Dog, your surfing just keeps getting better, more fun to watch, more polished, better waves. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thanks for the waves, the vibes, the video.
Usually boards like that don’t ride too great but that thing is a diamond in the rough! Thing will glide into anything
First wave n dolphins in the background yeeewww definitely livening the dream 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Word has it that Cali got epic for gravy’s trip
Best episode of 2022!!
I like it how the hollow board kicks up that jet tail of water behind it.
Dude Kalani is a trip
I love the fact that Ben has celebrity status. He has to work his ass off to produce this much content so he deserves and has earned his way. Keep it up Ben!
Made me smile so much!
Love to see you meeting and sharing waves with all the Groms ! Tom Blake from Washburn Wisconsin on Lake Superior, now you got it ! ... the history !!...BITCHEN you made it to Old Mans for some real fine culture connect, and glad to see you got the long board style turn on !....e.
Thanks for bringing the Stoke to our beaches out here Ben ! Nice flow on the wooden barge bro.
Thanks Ben for dropping by OB! Steviegirl was super exited to see that she had made it onto an episode of "Nuking" lol. And her dad was super appreciative of the "Hooya!" message on his poster. For the dream!
80 year old is STOKED 🤩🤙🤙
Love that dudes style with the kook box
Look box guy had style...nice time spent watching your video today.
Looks like a blast...Enjoy and keep it shredding for the win🏆

Man of the people!!!
Great vid. Especially liked great vibe happening in the surfshop
Brings back memories!! Haven't been at the OB surf shop in about 10 years. Bought a custom South Coast board there. Lived in the area for 15.
So sick! Always wanted to make a 16ft one of those, maybe some day!
Brian Bent is “Old Core”. Old school hard core!
Yeeww
Professional stoke, man! Thanks!
You are now Big time
Congratulations Ben
Tru ambassador of the stoke, killin it mate 🍍
I wanted for years to build a Tom Blake paddleboard! And the old guy (probably my age) is wearing authentic 1940's surfwear! I met a guy at San O 22 years ago who surfed Santa Cruz on leave from WWII--he said they wore wool clothing like that from surplus stores. Great video, thanks.
Expression session with the sea captain great vlog
the double ride on the kook box with Kalani was ALL TIME!!!!!
Catch Surf Boyz are getting after it! That board looks fun! Yewwww!
Brian Bent plus Ben Gravy equals awesome.
nice little mellow enjoyable therapeutic waves
Ben and Jordan!!! This visit to Ocean City Surf
Hey Ben, please ask Hyperflex to make a long sleeve, chest zip, Vyrl spring suit. They'll listen to you more than us. Thanks!
my grandfather had his original handmade box paddleboard he made as a teenager hanging in the rafters of his garage along with my aunts gidget era log. he was from santa ana california and was an avid surfer and outdoorsman. i remember him often talking about surfing killer dana prior to it being destroyed.
My claim is to get barreled by your best video ever! For someone my age (60) to be fully nuking?! You guys are the best. Thanks so much for sharing what surfing is all about - FUN! One day at a time...
Popular mechanics magazine had an article with plans on how to drill one of those boards. I think it is the 1940s. They were more for paddling than for surfing
that guy with the captains hat is a local legend for us OC loggers, so cool you ran into him.
Grew up in OB so it's nice to see the old shop...
1:54 Hard Rock! Later, oh shit, more rocks! That's me saying it by the by.
I've windsurfed, but never surfed, yet this was the most fun vid of fun vids! Way to much fun you guys even on the smallest waves! Now I'm nearly 70 I think I'll be needing a super large long kook box if I decide to start!
The legend of the west coast 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Legend 🍍🤙🏻
Nice to see Ben working on some cross steps. Ben has potential to be a great long boarder just needs to get the style sorted.
Back to the future with Brian Bent and the kook box!
Dude that’s BB Brian bent he rode for Becker hermosa beach sick surfer! He can ride anything in the water with style! Keep up the stoke Ben!
Brian Bent is a legend down here. old school cool for sure
Surfing the log 🤙

So fun to see your fans out in force and having such a good time meeting you.
That’s a sick kook box, bring it on down to Folly Beach 🤙🏽
