    Laying in my warm comfortable bed in the comfort of my home here in south Orange County watching this vlog was amazing to say least. Stoke, beauty, stress, sickness, more stoke. The ultimate journey. This is called living. This video just inspired so many people Ben. I can’t thank you enough. Your the true meaning of the human spirit. Walking on a dream !

    Say hello to my fellow Southern Californian, Blair Conklin 🏄 Raw Beefs TV is a fantastic channel. Probably the best coverage of the Wedge. You remember the Wedge don't you? You gotta come back in the fall.

  • @MaiTravelSite
    @MaiTravelSite ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Hey Ben, here's a little trick that might help you next time you get sea sick. While on the boat or whatever look at the horizon; it's the only thing that will not be moving while you and your nearby surroundings are , and will remain in it's real position. Everything else is not moving in relation to you but is in reality, so the brain gets confused. It's how I like to explain it and definitely works. Next option is to go for a swim, which you did :). Awesome trip man, think about watching these memories in the future!

Way to keep the dream and believe vibe alive - sweet testimony to manifesting and as laird says life as your own art form. I chipped in for that beauty and effort of going boldly and with courage and humor. Nicely played sir!

    The cure for sea sickness is to keep your belly full. Food, in a full stomach, does not move around. Dry bread, is a good stomach filler and carrying a little extra weight from those extra calories might keep out the cold, in the short term ! But, of course put, pressure on the joints in anyone that moves around a lot .

    I bought a Hyperflex cryo vyrl 5/4 wetsuit back in December and in only just one season of use, I've got a lot of seams and stitching falling apart to the point where I need to repair it with wetsuit glue or something. Been surfing at least once to twice a week in NJ all winter and Im really not beating on the suit at all, I take care of it. I had an Xcel 5/4 last me 5 years +, but this thing might only last one or two more winters for me...

    "Sometimes, mild nausea and even morning sickness may improve by using your middle and index fingers to press firmly down on the groove between the two large tendons on the inside of your wrist that start at the base of your palm."
    I use this for sea sickness when it's rough. I'll actually find a horizontal bar or pole on the boat, put my wrist over it, and crank down on by pulling down with my other hand. It hurts but it works.

    Entertaining video. I live in Alaska, used to live in Santa Cruz. Where is this in Alaska? I'd like to know that. And I'd like to see a longer general view of the boat. Did you check the temperature of the water? I'm guessing right around 48. Not that cold! Extra points for the Pendleton Glacier National Park blanket at the beginning! Made in Oregon!
