- This road trip has been nothing short of a trip! We finally made it to Oregon & it's bigger than it looks! Surfing in Oregon has always been fun, exciting and adventurous for me. Whenever I'm there it's quite literally man vs nature & this trip was no different. We rolled up to a private surf spot & realized quickly tat the surf is much bigger than it looks! FOR THE DREAM!! - Ben

I miss that part of Oregon and the forest trails down to the ocean. I'm going to show my mom this video as she would love to see that beach. What a great time to be living the dream. Much love and respect.
So awesome to see you surf the Oregon coast. Oregon coast is beautiful. Where the forest meets the sea.
Be sure to get some Dungeness Crab
Born and raised in OR, beyond stoked to see you here!!!
I’m from seal rock and never seen anyone surf that spot that’s crazy
Sounds like people up there need to lay off the pot and go explore their adrenal glands a bit more
Gotta give you this , you've taught us all to never give up, thank you Ben
Determination to find dream novelty wave is admirable. Looks like very challenging conditions
If it's in the ocean being produced by normal swell then it's just called a wave
Welcome to Oregon! I hope you have an amazing time. So stoked you made it out here! 😀🤙🌊🌦🏕🏔🌲
Ben you are such a boss for this. I surf NorCal SoOr all the time. Current is crazy up here but there is some legendary spots I’ve really wanted to show you. Patrick’s Point for one and moonstone beach when it’s firing. You are a maniac dude. I wish you came this week it’s all warm and nice glassy barrels
A nice accurate illustration of what Oregon surf is usually like
I can understand the free feeling of not wearing a leash. But with these conditions? Ma Man, you're dedicated!
Yeeewwww🤙🏻 local Oregon waters!!! Hope you enjoy Oregon and it’s crazy waves she offers!! Awesome video per usual Buddy, keep up the stoke and many awesome waves🤙🏻🙏🏻
No leash, super cold, super current, super windy, Great Whites when and where you least expect them. What could go wrong?
The shark's, in that water are mostly 6-gill sharks. They are massive, hungry and know how to ebb and flow the surf to grab prey in ankle deep water. Take good care of your dog.
Thanks for only showing obscurities and not blowing up our spots (that don't exist)
Anyone brave enough to go in Oregon waters should be welcome dawg
@@ponolovefarms3926everyone is welcome; I didn't say don't come, just thanks for not showing our fickle hidden gems and attracting droves up people in camper vans from places far and wide traversing up and down the Oregon Coast (there are already lots). If you come, you're welcome, just like anyone should be- the Oregon Coast is a rugged beautiful place and the surf scene is small but thriving. Like anywhere with consistent big waves, it can be kind of dangerous, and our best spots are just that. They're sharky, cold, isolated, have crazy currents and for many, are surfed alone, which is unadvisable for most surfers that are not familiar with the area. Not trying to be exclusionary, more cautionary, this place is not friendly like 80% of the time (conditions and people). I have been surfing for 30 years but only surfing in Oregon for 8, and it took me 5 years of exploring to figure out where to find good waves and make friends with some people that grew up here. Random people coming up hoping to score on their first drive up the coast might be super disappointed. The allure of good waves on video is often enough for people to make trips/paddle out at places they generally wouldn't, and perhaps aren't ready for. That's when safety can become an issue. I appreciate your sentiment and I hope now mine is less misunderstood.
@@danielwildrick5990totally facts I was surprised he didn’t show at least a decent spot haha. I would not paddle out there haha. Respect on post and very true about danger. Seems like a lot of coast guard saves of surfers this year. As there is every year.
Glad to see you go out in all conditions. Breath of fresh air.
What a spot to own your home. The house was truly the dream🙌 Happy travels and stay stoked🍍
I like how you gave a tough spot a thorough try. Novelty King without a doubt.
I hope I can go back to Oregon one day. My own roadtrip, 13 years ago, left very fond memories of this place.
Crazy waves Ben, awesome video as always 🤙
OMG the waves in Oregon are huge !
Last week was sick and he surfs this shit spot when we were getting barreled pure glass in Oregon last week. Gotta hit up the dudes that surf every single day up here if you want the best waves in Oregon.
Way to go Ben! Definitely feel like part of the food chain in the fridge. Happy Memorial Day! Be safe.
Saw a young grom on the beach on Sunday with a Ben Gravy soft top and Ben Gravy Hyperflex wetsuit in Lavallette, NJ. The dream is alive and well.
I want to link up with you guys sooo bad when you visit Oregon... or Washington
We strive to make today, a memorable one. Although most get lost to time, this one is sure to stay. Epic Road Trips along the West Coast, will do that! I'm stoked for you guys, and the experiences you are having! Positive Vibes and West Coast Love you and the crew!! 🤙.. Yewww
Victory at sea
As a Southern California surfer for 35 years,the first time I surfed a little spot called surfers beach in Seaside- Oregon the current was horrendous & the paddle out equally difficult.
Kudos to Ben for his courageous go out.
East coasters are used to the shitty straight paddle out with 30 duck dives and wicked current lol.
Looks absolutely stunning there!!!
Jalama bch a must please drive out to the coolest campground incredible surf I'm not kidding bro mad respect
If only Tarantulas was a novelty break !
@@camerongieda lol pipe training grounds is my favorite call at 10 plus wow better than most and the beach break wow a frames yeah once in 1980 Nov
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! What an epic trip so far! Have a safe and happy Memorial Day. Looking forward to seeing what you guys get into next. For the dream..!
I hope you had sessions at the better breaks. This stretch of coast always had mystique but we usually raced through to get to the better breaks. 😁
Wow that "barn" is an upgrade from the camper! Dreamin.
Curious if you have made it to Pistol River, Sebastian & Gold Beach. Plenty of fun breaks up to Florence.
If you get a chance check the south jetty in Florence. Used to park my RV on the jetty for weeks at a time. If the the tide is low and there is a swell, fun novelty wave up the river along the jetty.
Gold beach bbq = Bomb
nice to know you always catch a wave for me , can't do it myself any more, too broken , but I live so vicariously through you brother, and I pray for you and your wife and crew always , keep up the good work the good vibes , and for God's sake stay healthy, there's more than me who live through your next adventure, love and peace
Ben you a beast brother always love watching your vids some of the best content on youtube fam!
oregon is a neat place to live, especially like your friend right on the ocean. how is jordan enjoying the trip?
I lived on Tillamook head in 1971 saw guys surfing 15 plus waves on big gun surfboards full thick wetsuit
I can see Ben and Jordan living in an old house on the coast! The dreams are real!
Loved the video, and seeing special people!🥰
Thanks for all the stoke!
What a beautiful place to stay. This is an epic road trip to follow.
You guys should do a black soft top with the one giant pineapple in the bottom if you update the look!
I always wear my Sharkbanz when I surf. It's a local company right here in South Carolina. I highly recommend them.
Intro is so killer compared to old nub days!!! FOR THE DREAM!! I watched ur dream come true homie! Big ups
Everywhere I went north of eureka CA all people told me was that they saw great whites all the time and there were only rocks and wind and unruly surf, I only surfed one spot way north next to Washington border where there were a lot of people surfing
MAN I LOOK AT THE BRISTOL BAY CAM EVERY DAY. I LIVE IN NC. WOULD LOVE TO TRY OREGON. LOOKS AMAZING
Recommendation for a fun time in OR, hit up the sand dunes in Florence. Rent Sand rails or quads.
I highly recommend the Wave Bandit 5'8" Retro Fish. It's incredibly versatile, comes alive for both groveling and head high to my heart's content!!
I think I will sick to the 3' mush and 80° water ! For the dream .
..better than bigger colder mush
Do you surf in Florida?
Imma guess Jacksonville? That’s where I am lol
@@gilkalbfeld1384 New Smyrna !!
I’m from Portland Oregon. I’ve been waiting for this post 🥹
Aloha and Positive energy from Charleston, Oregon!
everything looks bigger in Oregon! 🙌🤙👌🕺
🌲 🌳
@@ponolovefarms3926 vibes
Nice commitment.Up north is no joke once it's blow out Hit the pre dawn patrol for the Win bro!
That spot is so gnarly. I believe him that he hasn’t seen anyone surf there.
Gravy, you probably passed up about 50 good surf spots in Southern Oregon to make it up to that spot!
Southern Oregon coast is still a secret, stay shredding,
There are no good waves here.
Your Gnarly Ben! Happy for you guys!
Love the barn!! Could live in that for sure!!
That Barn is awesome
Houses like these are pretty sick but what they don't tell you is the maintenance and upkeep costs. Salt air is no joke.
Rural Coastal Oregon is incredibly beautiful. And because of the latitude, there's pretty consistent wind swell in the Summer, from weaker lows in the Gulf of Alaska.
So that spot you were pioneering looks like an essentially average, random Beach/Reef. Do-able - but probably not worth the drive down a long side road to check or to surf. It sounds like the guy who lives there doesn't even bother with it.
It was a yeoman's effort, on your part, to find some wheat amongst all of that chaff.
When I think of Novelties, I have high standards. I want a potentially makeable barrel, perhaps even a "Super Tube". A gem of some sort...a diamond in the rough, at a minimum, preferably a finely cut and polished stone.
There's a lot of beaches on the West Coast, and unique set-ups. Most are something like an Agate or Sea Glass. I have a fantasy of showing you some legit spots, some day. I'd want to keep most of them "secret"s, but that doesn't preclude filming...just tight lipped precautions, and non-identifying camera angles. You've done things like that in the past, I've seen.
You managed to describe the exact opposite of what a novelty wave is haha
@@masonmunkey6136 No. There's legit waves that qualify for sketch factor, or wedge bounce effects. But I'm not going to name any more of them, than the one I already did.
@@anotherworldviewispossible you said it yourself.. legit waves lol. Being sketchy doesn't make something a novelty. Wedge sure you could argue that. Also I dgaf about your "secret" spots don't know why you are talking about it as if I asked for names.
@@masonmunkey6136 If you're surfing a barreling point, inches from dry rock - most people think that's either not a real wave - or it's a novelty. Those spots on the Westside that Mason surfs - are a good example. If you're good enough they're novelty waves, that aren't just slop.
I consider them "legit" - but there's less competition than you might think.
@@anotherworldviewispossible first name basis with mason ho eh? I think you'd be hard pressed to find people who wouldn't consider those legit waves.
You coming to Washington? Vancouver Island, BC?
I live right up the hill from this spot I still can't believe you surfed here
Very nice, man! Reminds me a bit of the winter time in South Brazil. Great vibes.
I want to see an epic session at little beach this summer you can launch from the backside of Brigantine or if you have a beach permit you can drive the beach Brigantine to the North End launch the ski the middle of the island seems to have had the best break do it I want to see that one call the Brigantine wildlife can and cannot do on the island
Thank you for sharing The banz product with us surfing up in Oregon is terrify because you know you have huge whites swimming around you. This product seems to work what a piece of mind.welcome to Oregon ✌🏽✌🏽
What part of Oregon is that house on?
Hey Oregon surfers, ever seen the crowds at Trestles? Or at Rincon? or Malibu? So if you want that then film every spot, on every good day, invite other bloggers, post it for a few advertising dollars & ego strokes & you will all incrementally add to what we surfers all want: more surfers in the water. Applause!
YEEEWWW🤙Welcome to Oregon! You found some of the best places for you both! Would've loved to see some treasures Jordan found agating. Peace and ❤
I rent a little beach cottage on the Oregon border. Definitely a magical place. Got chased out of the cove yesterday by a huge male.sea lion.
I have and wear my shsrkbanz every time I am out in the line up!, after my white shark I counter, It helped me to still do what I love without me thinking about sharks, For the Dream!!!!!
Welcome up north it’s big there’s currents and it’s peaceful 😃 but it’s all good love it ☮️
Got to get that new Surf hoodie🤙🏻
1:06 is that a case for expensive glass
I love the music...
If I won the lottery, 100% chance I would get property on the Oregon coast. Beautiful.
Owalds probably your best bet for waves, but check PC on your way north
You're hard core man! I'm sure you could have found a better place to surf, but you gave it a good shot! :)
What part of Washington you going to surf at!??
You gotta wait for offshore winds up there. Like a washing machine otherwise.
So if you have a shark tag on both feet will that protect both legs from being shark snacks?
What a cool dude!
Man you look so tired man. You're going great. I need a surf trip soon. Good waves
Oregon!
Nelscott ?
Love the stoke! Question??? When surfing a spot you know nothing about, do you ever worry about the currents??
Definitely, but I just take my time paddling and feeling it out
How do you surf fomies so much brother
Yooooo! I just moved from south jersey to the Oregon coast 2 years ago and bought me a house on the ocean. I’ve actually surfed with you at Crystals and in Brig. Feel free to send me a message if you make your way to the southern Oregon Coast. I’ll show you some spots!! For the dream!
👈 if you see these guys say what’s up
I hope you at least make it as far south as Newport, OR or Florence. Definitely some epic spots to surf around there or even further south than that. More south facing spots the further you go to help with our prevailing NNW winds
Awesome mate, from scotland living in eastern australia
Careful out there Ben Gravy. The West Coast Is no place to mess around. This ain’t no ankle biter Florida shit
Nothing like a broken leash in Oregon waters.. currents and sharks are no joke haha
Yo, Ben, do you appreciate AirBNB?
Sick vlog as per usual 🔥 I’m watching some of your old vlogs and I have to ask, what ever happened to D-bagg?
I grew up surfing oregon and know all the beat hidden spots and you need to link up some one who can show you the best and on the best days but the only problem is is that most dont want to show any outsiders
I need to ask… Did you find any left over treasure of One Eyed Willy’s?.
Scary and beatiful to watch!let's shredd 🍍🍍🍍🍍
I've seen great whites when I've been in the water close to where ur surfing be careful
No shit. I staued there in 2007 for my birthday. It was my brother in-law ex-girlfriend place. My now husband did a bunch of work at that place. Totally legit. How did you find this place?
Funny Soren put on sunblock on his face.
Sheesh mr gravy don’t forget to sunscreen up! The JOB wrinkles are coming in HOT
