Big, soft, mushy, shapely waves-how fun is that?! You absolutely killed it out there, and on a real board too. Love seeing that! And the wholesome camping vibe is awesome-cooking breakfast in the woods, out in the elements. So cool!
Let air out of the tires you will get more traction - Tires were to full - keep a pump in the van when you get back to the road to keep the Dream Rollin at all times Brah🏄🤙
We get decent sized waves in NorCal more often than we get small waves. They're often a little rough or even sketchy, but big is pretty consistent. We make it work.
Get your friend to jump up and down on the bumper while you pump the pedal in time with the jump. Gotten out of so many gravel/ sand beach stuck spots with that move 🤙
don't want to blow the spot but where u at I'm moving to bodega bay this week, is this video kinda in that area? ive been checking forecast and looks like that area has a lot of swell all the time.
Getting stuck sucks, get yourselves some X-BULL Recovery Traction Tracks. Lay them underneath the main drive tires and ease on out. Drop the psi on your tires too. 🤙
French Press. Hands down best way to make coffee any time but also anywhere. That jet boil tiny backpacker stove is pure fire. Been using one for years. Up that travel coffee game.
Hey Ben I love your style of surfing...old school like me, a bit older than you, now I am a couch surfer...waiting on a knee replacement to put me back in the water....I know you have had this rodeo....how do you stay positive?
the song playing around 7:00 is so sick. the electric guitar goes into some crazy throaty fuzz almost like a Mk.Gee thing. did you record the music Ben?
@@stevebroad8804 bro flat. We get plenty dry spells out here. I mean it can be 2-3 in Humboldt, and not even breaking anywhere. I seen it 4-6 and still washed out and not breaking. It depends on the interval and the sand bar. But I see what you’re saying. Most days we got waves, we got a lot of white water surfers here too . If I really wanna, I’ll ride some white water and still be stoked, but that’s rare.
All the donkeys that say to leave the camera at home will happily watch videos and check out photos of other surf zones. He didn’t name spots or even include any background information in his shots. Be thankful, he didn’t completely blow out your little surf zone nobody cares about. Believe me it will fade back into obscurity…
@@ryanmcgee8052your probably some spoiled socal kid who parents paid for you to go to school up here and has since left but now feel likes it’s cool to exploit your experience here, on top of being some liberal keyboard warrior that as soon as someone gives you some perspective that doesn’t align with yours you want to yell even louder. If you lived here you know, and honestly why do you feel the need to draw a map for the masses…

This evolution to Ben becoming a shortboarder gives me the goosebumps.

Been there too many times 😂 - air way down, pull out the max trax, and you’re hopefully cruising again!
i thoroughly enjoy watching you surf good waves on a real board
6:17 my thought was exactly that, real waves, real board, what a combo, who would have thought.
Nice video dude! Great editing, tunes, scenery, surfing, and overall vibe. And that board rips. Some nice cutties and Flo
Ben on glass is a whole different beast
When you get stuck in sand or gravel, place your floor mats, carpet side down, in front of the tires in the direction you want to go.
Ben, your cutbacks are 🔥🔥🔥 Cool vid, never mind the No Cal dudes, they vibe everyone not from there. For the Dream ❣️
Duuuuuuude that new board is u big dawg… u were flyin down the line n slicing like crazy. U absolutely ripped that board🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

That was such a beautiful surf session and you were ripping amigo.
Very respectable edit. Good use of drone to not pinpoint landmarks. Thanks.
And you're welcome back at any time.
Twinny for the win!🤙🏄♂️😎
Hey dude great surfing with you! Hope to see you out there soon!
What road was that? And curious if you tried airing down your tires so the get better traction and float on top of that shale a little better?
Avenue of the giants, coolest road in America (in my opinion) 🙌🏽
swing by Ocean Beach on the way back. nice score in the north country
Trash city

I've seen that work
Thats Samsquanch country.....Always carry a pepperoni stick, your life may depend on it 👍
Great adventures! I love campin' coffee! Twinny looks smooth. Josh Kerr is proud.
Back on track
Little south of my area but on the right track. Stoked to see you in the redwoods man. Yeeew!

Over head Oregon! For the dream!

As a German guy told me recently while pushing my van out of a rut in Europe, "don't be gentle, it's a rental!"
Ben heavy locals that surf with youbare soft serve clowns, Zeke comes to mind

They sell French press coffee cups on Amazon. Best purchase I’ve ever made. Was a life saver on deployments and during some camping trips.
Finally, some waves worth watching.
We're all so glad you're finally happy.
Thanks, Steve-O! I appreciate that. I hope you and your imaginary friends are stoked, too!
going down on the river bar in a 2wd sprinter van is wild
Of course Ben gets down on some Ramshackle Glory
Omg you guys are great love love this!!!!!
Heavy ripping Ben! That segment is so sick with the music and those ripping cut backs
Don’t tell me that you’re using a metal spatula on a nonstick frying pan?!
🤣
That was some epic surfing doggy, that fish does a nice wrap not normal for a fish I’d consider it a try!
Ben, your surfing is super crispy...🤙
Wondering how far North are you? North of SF?
Air down to 8psi and carry an air compressor
@@joeblowgringo5359 Just read this comment and we got out in no time. Thanks
Haha, been there hahaha so many emotions during it. Glad you made it unscathed. Sick surf and edit
@@chrisagnew8965 haha thanks!
Hey Ben I love your style of surfing...old school like me, a bit older than you, now I am a couch surfer...waiting on a knee replacement to put me back in the water....I know you have had this rodeo....how do you stay positive?

What's the name of this spot??
How do I get into the Ben gravy pro rider line up!!!
A 5’8” barrel Cuda would be a dream for your boy!!!
Great Video by the way!
Start cold brewing your coffee instead. Much tastier, no need to boil water and 70% less acidic than standard coffee. Game changer.
dang your surfing is so much better now!! throwing John John Florence style hacks lol
Don’t disrespect jjf like that
“In a van. Down by the river!!”
You’ll have plenty of time to roll dubbies when you’re living in a.. you know the rest
dude jersey you ever drive in the snow go get some branches in the forest for traction
the song playing around 7:00 is so sick.
the electric guitar goes into some crazy throaty fuzz almost like a Mk.Gee thing.
did you record the music Ben?
Need to know what song this is
Dude, your using “Nescafé Tasters Choice” for your early morning cup of joe? …where the hell is the “Ben Gravy Signature Coffee Blend at? ☕️
Nice Surfing!
How further up nor cal u at?
Great surfing
Question for NorCal locals. Have you ever seen a flat day in your life?
Yes
@@samuelajonesWhat exactly do you call flat?

THIS, a million times over
You should be happy that you dont surf around here. I would kick your ass
Yea it’s literally all the kooks in the comments blowing it not Ben…..
Yea it’s all the donkeys in the comments
I'm a Californian and I don't think Ben did anything wrong but, if you're encouraging him to call out spots, that's just not cool man.
Need some Falken Wildpeaks on that thing!
Nice video Ben great waves nub nation for the win ❤😊😊
It would be great if I could get your Barrelcuda in the UK!!
Definitely a city boy because anyone worth their salt would’ve seen that coming and not gotten stuck or knew what to do if so
Fun adventure
Heavy claims! 🤙🤙
Love this spot I've scored it perfect liie this with Noone out
Okay looks like im obsessed with fish tails again.
Epic !

Maxx Traxx and deflated tires before you go in.
Dude if you plant you're back foot further back on the turn the board might pop up into you're forearm :)
Nice to see you in my neck of the woods Ben! Hope you make it up to Trinidad!
Kook
Love Trinidad so much 🍄
Hey Ben you better start drinking more water ,because you're bound to get Kidney stones with all the Coffee, chocolate and Redbulls you have.
Let air out of the tires
The not so new world of kooking..show them all the magic till it's dead...fool$@dont show up on daddy's left.
I can’t with these nor cal guys 😂😂😂
Sorry, where in the video does it say Patrick’s point? Oh wait, it doesn’t!
Hey man I’m gonna let you in on a little secret, you don’t personally own Northern California

Heavy
Air that $100K van down. No tire inflator, no ramps, no shovel and especially no 4wd. You surf well but you have no common sense offroad.
Don't give him any ideas, he'll be he'll be putting secret spots you have to 4x to up.
I muss living in CALIFORNIA
