- What an absolute trip to be home in New Jersey for the biggest swell I've ever seen & end up in California for this Historic Blacks Beach XXL San Diego 20-25ft Surf forecast. According to Surfline the San Pedro buoy reached a whopping 16.7ft @ 18 seconds, the biggest ever recorded since the buoy was installed in 2004. The swell is potentially getting bigger today so wish me luck & I can't wait to share the vlogs! FOR THE DREAM!! - Ben

Such an Epic Day! I’m Glad you Came! & More to come the next couple days too👊🙌
The bay calls the day! Supplying Ben with that Philly 10'2 gun, that was a perfect board for him man, he was ripping epic on that thing! Supply and demand, you supplied the board Gravy demands the dreamers!
Reality looking like the dream you dreamt could be your reality? It’s working!
Zeke!!!!!
Yah Zeke !!?
Epic blacks! 🌊🔥
The dolphin watching you ,sharing your stoke was one of the greatest clips ever. You were charging for the dream! Yeah Ben
Dolphins were awesome out there, thanks !!
I paused right at that moment, dolphin staring right into his eyes, tried to screen shot it but not that clever, incredible
Glad to hear they are dolphins. I thought they were SoCal sharks!
Obrigado pelo vídeo irmao ... q vibração senti daqui ... thanks
In high school, I paddled out to Blacks on a 10-12 foot day and thought I was going to die. Couldn't even imagine how gnarly this would be. Very heavy wave.
This is 8-10ft…
@@oliverlennard Bingo. not even close to 18-20
lmfao here come these guys. Everyone is riding a 10 ft plus sized gun. Look at some of the set wave shots. Easy 20-25 ft faces. No one would have a 10ft gun in 8 ft surf. I would love to see your 5-6 if this is 8 lol. They are also filming from the cliff at blacks, it throws the perspective off a bit. You would be shitting your pants if you paddled in this.@@jennyco7709
@@oliverlennard Some of those waves are 15 feet.
@@DiogenesOfCa early morning before they paddle out
Damn dude, you have been a straight mission for the last couple months. Nobody is riding more waves in more places than our boy Ben. Super inspiring, much love🤘🤘
Word
Nate Florence schools these goofballs
@@tyson9419 Schools them how? He's a better surfer? Yeah maybe, hes top 10 in the world, but whats your point?
Hawaii, Jersey Shore, Cali… killing the game 🤙
Much respect 🙌
Ben so glad you got a taste of blacks pumping. Been surfing there from 1973 till 2015.had to quit surfing I'm 70 and time for you young studs to dominate . Back in the 1980s I was out on a similar day's as yours and was the furthest guy out and got thrashed in the spin cycle by a 30ft Rouge wave and almost drowned but survived to surf another day. A gnarly freaking break. Kd.
Ben living a helluva good life these days. Gotta love seeing one of the good guys winning. Bro you were riding that 10'2 Philadelphia rhino chaser gun like an absolute champion! That board looked like it was made for you and those kind of waves, and then the backwash rippers with the 10'2 , heavy claim!!! The dream keeps getting better and better man, keep riding that wave Gravy!
Really stepping it up this year and sending it on the big waves. Look like you are really getting better all the time bro. Great video.
Thanks so much !!
Ben gravy is a breath of fresh air. Big stoke, modest, and charges hard.All the best to you
Loved that you surfed novelty waves on a big wave day. Ben Gravy, bringing back the fun in surfing.
Yeeeeees Ben! Ending up 2023 big enough, thanks for your stoke and all the effort and love you put on everything you do and share. following you from 2016, got to watch 85 per cent of your youtube videos, podcast…thanks for sharing this journey, truly inspirational for me, love it.
I hope I will meet you personally someday anywhere, any wave in the world.🏄🏼♂️
Wish you, Dennis and Jordan a joyful and healthy 2024🤙🏻
Primo waves guys, thanks for sharing it with us fossils! First time I rode Blacks, July of 1965, the water was so clear I couldn't tell where the water began and the air ended. Epic pearl on the first ride😱 It was like watching the "flying Wallendas"!!
Go Gravy! Go Zeke! My new favorite episode.
You guys were at the right place at the right time. Primo Blacks with just a handful of guys, little to no wind, and glassy. I'd say 6-7 hours pretty much all by yourselves makes a good day!
Dude , your getting the dream handed to you on a daily bases ! Every door is swinging wide open for your bro , to the dream 👍🏽
Good to see people still having fun surfing. Not being so serious about it that you can't spend a few minutes riding the backwash. Thanks for sharing.
What a legend, living his dream! ♥️
I was thinking in my head a few days ago that you would definitely be covering these waves.
I could imagine you live streaming waves cross country from Hawaii to California with a board motor so you don't miss any along the way. Drinking red bulls.
The best part Ben is your riding little novelty waves everytime you come in from a 25’er 😂😂😂
Mr. BG looking increasingly confident in the larger surf. 🔥👍🏼💪🏽🤙🏽
Man your turnaround on these videos is impressive. Pushing out content constantly like you do is definitely not easy, & your vlogs have been super sick lately. Cheers!
Love when zeke is on the channel
Dude the board Ben is riding is pretty sick, same with Zeke's. Wont lie I'm jelly!
glad you hooked up w/ JZ, he is good guy and friend. The 10'2 did get you into a few, that others were not able. So stoked to see you in NJ (swell) (Northbore) swell and (LJ) 8'-10' swell.. Keep it going while you can!
That gun was a perfect board for Ben honestly, he killed it on a few of those waves! Speed demon!
Yeah Ben charging coast to coast!!
What a sick video! Those dolphins and those waves are amazing! 🤙🏻
Doesn't seem too long ago you were getting your first taste of big wave riding in the PNW and here you are charging 20ft Blacks with no problem. Love it.
Your wingmen are making things more fun to watch :)
Well ... or swell 😄when I lived there I down patrolled Swamis and Cardiff Reef for ten years and it was the legendary El Nino winter 97-98 ... we went to check out Blacks and it was the most memorable display I ever seen, it was bigger and very hard to make it outside, imagine paddling out on 9 footer long board ... Joel Tudor was on a red one (single fin I believe) and it was totally tearing it apart, coming down on a triple overhead face hanging five gracefully and stylish like he only could ... Just beautiful and I will never forget!
Sorry dudes but I feel you were way too slow on those huge bulky guns🤙
Surfing with Dolphins! There is no greater claim!! 🌊🏄♂️🐬
Dude, the dolphins were just as stoked, so cool🤘🤘
So glad you made it out here for this!! For the Dream!!
You scored! Big Blacks with almost no one out! Epic!
Gravy switching from novelty waves to big wave charging here...nicely done...along with that dolphin posing with you.
I love Zeke dropping his phone in the crackness of death. The crack is like a black hole on our Toyota. Almost impossible for things to come out.
Yup
Ben you and Zeke are bad ass together
Just like the old saying. Its not what you know its WHO you know. Ben is so right on saying. You are the man.. excellent surfing Ben. And an excellent guide Zeke. Its amazing to think how this all came about.. love watching this . Signed .. a 65 year old and retired surf rat
The Philadelphia Rhino Chaser! This Cali swell has been pretty sick, huh?
Pumping waves and you still have time for the novelty wave! Love it
you know you're in the right spot when the dolphins stick around too 🤙
Dang Son, that's some huge freight trains at Blacks and you guys were slaying it ❣️ Semi Pro Gravy? I'm calling PRO all the way ❣️ You have surfed almost every major wave in the world in 2023. What an accomplishment and so much money in travel. Most of us would kill for that kind of life. I'm sure Jordan and Dennis miss you but, thank you for being in my home state and bringing that positive Nub Nation vibe ❣️ For the Dream ❣️🌊🏄🌴
No doubt your skills are increasing. Your natural great style and your developing skills are really aligning nicely. Looking seriously good out there. Future big-wave competitions??? Just throwing it out there. Keep doing exactly what you're doing. Love it.
The house is sick too!!!
That was great Ben! you got some great waves and rides, Thanks to Zeek for helping Ben out and hosting.
Having gate access to the lower parking lot is a dream! My first memories of surfing Black's on a big(ish) day (10-12') was getting my ass kicked on the paddle out just to almost make the drop on a set wave, then being caught inside while a 5 wave set came through. Making the hike back up to the glider port was a rough one. Thanks for sparking the memories!
oh mighty gull.!!!! I was thinking. "what if Zeeke took Gravy out on huge Blacks yesterday. " then im like "na Gravys in Jerzey" STOKED this is EPIC
You and Zeke make such a great team!
Ben had dolphins chilling with him!!!❤❤❤
You did super good , Ben.
Great choice of equipment .
The 10' 2'' gun got you in early and carved beautifully.
Beautiful board 🤙
Blacks really lights up on low tides. I bet the afternoon was insane at north peak once the tide dropped. Still amazing to see Ben surf some massive waves in SD!
What a fun session... though it looks like that rhino chaser was harder to steer than grandma's old school bus!
Fun as f watching you both out there and then comin gin grinning ear to ear! Pure stoke! Thanks for sharing it with us!
For the dream! 🤙
That big ass smile you got on at 12:50 when you paddle in. 🤟🤟🤟 stoking!
I am 62 and do not surf waves like this anymore (but I did) so I love the "Oh Mylanta" comment. Cracking me up!
Been outta the Gravy loop... time to catch up with a super gnarly binge 🎉🎉🎉🎉🤙
Crazy how so many surfers charge big waves. In my day maybe 2 or 3 surfing and 100 watching. Now everyone is in the lineup.
From Jersey to San Diego 25’ers 8 days apart HISTORIC!💪🔥💯 #wavebandit
Wow! You are officially a big wave surfer!
one of my favourite surfing related videos of the year for sure
I love a good "Rino Chaser " gun! Those are a couple of sic ones.☕🍍😎🤙
The best VLOG you've done so far! From another South Jersey surfer, to another. You're doing good, my friend. Happy New Years!
thanks for catching this EPIC EPIC EPIC day at BLACKS!
OMG, SUPER EPIC VLOG!!! I am so glad you got down there and scored some legendary rides!! Happy New Years Legend!!
Great video Ben! My wife is from Philly and we live in Oside. So it’s always fun watching your vlogs. 🌮
First Class. Zeke has a key to the gate!!! You’re dreaming.
Dolphins are getting on it!
dunno how i missed this video till today. pure epic good lord 🔥🔥🔥
So great, reminds me of El Nino... late 80s, then late 90s... now the kids are learning what it was like back in the day, so happy for actual waves.
Killer video! Have been hoping to see some coverage of this swell and glad you nailed it! Happy New Year Ben.
Even at sunset cliffs we saw cleanup sets close to 20 ft. I caught some absolute bombs, but had a cleanup land right on my head and Broke my favorite board the same day. Blacks beach, when it’s that big, will make you wish you never picked up surfing as a hobby. Lol
LEGEND status, again.
I worked Black's as a lifeguard in the early 80s...WOW!!! I cannot believe this!!! You guys did great!🎉 Happy New Year, and thank you. Backsurf refraction 😅 most excellent DUDES!!!
Awesome video, great music, lots of adrenaline had my heart pumping....so glad I got to experience this and became a new subscriber...will definitely look forward to more great surfing and awesome vibes .....huge Thankyou to all of you making this happen. Made me forget Im on bed rest for covid🤣👍🏽✌🏽💪🏼💯❤️🙏🏽🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Professional grade video, Ben. The content, editing, music were all top notch. The music ROCKS, Dude.
Ya caught it on a good swell and glassy conditions and Charged, Dude. Great work.
Stay Stoked. 🤘🤙
Thanks!
No one wants to break a board, BUT if you’re gonna that’s the conditions for it! That’s freaking huge. I suppose the lead-up is to give non-surfers a glimpse into the get-ready anticipation when it’s firing, but YAWN (and you guys ARE pretty entertaining).
Ben , that board looks stiff and hard to turn and you can count on clean up sets at blacks, hours of paddling, crowds, close outs, for that one good one
30'! Yeah right, those waves are like 6' Hawaiian brah
Lol
I’m drunk as hell and proud of u ben, we still love you in Melbourne beach! Glad your onto bigger and better things
Yewwwww. Knew you’d be out there today. Shredding!!! 🤙🤙🤙
Love seeing the dolphins enjoying the mega swell of the year! They knew it was coming!
Your real good at surfing. All i got is a protractor.
Whoever that is at 13:20 dropping in, hell yes!
That gun Zeke leant you is amazing Ben. What a winter. what a week or so. The way it's going, you'll be scoring in Hawaii in a few days again. You always for the dream, my man - you are living the dream brother. Are you posted up in Norrh Shore and for the winter, or are you back stateside?
Nicely done! I was out on the same days, but at the cliffs on a CI black/white 6'4 and thankfully avoided the crowd at the cliffs. Score. Thanks for sharing your rides!
Thanks for sharing this you got some great video I grew up in Huntington Beach but had to move in a couple years ago I really miss this This is the biggest set of waves I've ever seen in that area
My favorite Ben Vlog yet!
Classic , love that the East Coast Boys get to experience our West Coast style with the OTC Crew
Most Awesome Ben! You Scored some BIG Ones! Super Fun Vid! Thanks and Stay Safe Out There! - Spyder
Occasionally when watching your vlog you say "wish me luck" and today I replied "Good luck Ben, don't die!"
From novelty king to big wave charger, The Man Ben Gravy, The Man.
Dude, you are totally killin it. Love the content upgrades daily-Yeeeeew constant pitting
Loved this, thanks for posting. Great vid!
Great run of vlogs Ben and co!! Keep up the good work!!
I bodysurfed this in my younger days! Too old, too much risk for me now. Mad respect to these chargers out there. God speed.
I used to live in oceanside, and every now and then, we'd make our way to blacks. Epic rides for sure.
take me out of the water and to the country derby with this soundtrack!
Just missed you in Oahu and thought I may see you for this one around rincon where we live.. it was maxing up here as well but I’m sure blacks was even bigger!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤You got the elusive Gravy Tails on video in this one.
WHOLE NEW RESPECT FOR YOU MY DUDE!!! Killing it !
Okay surfing the back flow out looks so fun!
