    Ben Gravy. Legend. The only guy who dedicates entire videos to closeouts but you can't stop watching even though you know you're gonna watch a bunch of closeouts. Ben may be the best closeout surfer out there. I subscribed a while back and I continue to be mesmerized by his crazy vids.

    So rad to see your channel growing. A year ago I felt like any vlog over 10k views was a pretty big one. Now you're getting 30k-50k easily and sometimes a lot more. Hard work pays off my friend! For the dream

    Ben, you deserve everything good that is now happening to you. The dedication, perseverance and truth you put in your reality is what we all should work on. The brief moments we have met at Camp Shred and Rimels in Cardiff have made a positive change in my daughters as well as my life. Looking forward to seeing you back in Cardiff.

    Ben your barrel riding is next level bro it’s just getting better and better! Making it look easy! People who don’t surf don’t understand the skill behind it! Positioning so key and feel ! Knowing when to stay high one wave and move up on your board for speed and drag to stall in the pit! Mad respect Ben 🤙

    @Truth.n.Love.is.God.BCatholic. 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is by far the best surf flick of his yet! The 6 wheeled life guard car-boat, surfboard wind flip off car roof, 6 time replay of that wipeout, killer endless summer style music, and of course classic France tubes all make this one click.

Your vlogs have inspired me....not only on the stoke side, but in the positivity. You have challenged me to look at thinks differently in the hard times of life. Keep being you dude 👊🏼
