Surviving the Eddie Swell (13ft @ 17 Secs) in British Columbia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2023
- We went to sleep last night pretty nervous. We knew that the same swell that they had just run the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Event on was headed for British Columbia. Some buoys we're claiming up to a 19 second period & some surf sites were claiming 20 - 25ft surf. We don't know what to expect, but what we do know was that the dream is ON! Thanks for all of the support on this adventure through Canada!

I remember this day VERY WELL!! On the south side of the island it was double head high and an off shore wind. All the places were going off. Legendary day!! I missed it due to work but caught the tail end the next day. Even then it was amazing! Glad you scored on that day!! Awesome to see you experience this place and all of its glory!!!!
Haha this is really considered "scoring?"
@@Elloguvanah 😂 You remind me of this roommate I had in college. Anytime you got stoked, he was there to tell you how lame it was! I don’t miss that guy!
@@dwmueller76 love you. More than life itself.
I had the best day of my life at Jordan river one time and this deal was following me the whole day. Super blessed Every time I turned around he would duck. I love the west coast
Some of the purest, most beautiful surfing I have ever seen in my 60 years. Thanks for sharing Ben Gravy.
Dude that's a pretty legit point. Has some different sections that makes it really cool. Nice shoulder, to steep face to grinding on the shore.
You guys scored! How sick is that wave exploration set up… bad ass pilothouse! Boating around the frigid north to find unknown waves is a literal dream of mine.
What a great adventure! Thanks for taking us along for the dream 🤙
”A bumpy road knocks the poo out of you” absolutely classic!
Aloha shredders
The place, the waves, the surfing...all spectacular!
Wow dude. Epic all encompassing edit of an amazing journey. Epic. Thanks for sharing that stoke. Must be DREAMING. 😎🤙🏼
So soaked
Thanks for taking us on the journey, keep exploring and having fun,
That last novelty wave 🌊 was epic! That's the dream! 🌈 You could feel the stoke when you got off the wave 🏄♂️ For those of us that cherish the ultimate novelty rides we can relate!
might be one of the best vlogs you put out to date. loved it.
dude your ability to read waves and make anything and everything look like a blast is incredible. another great video. watch out for those rocks tho, freakin me out lol
Yeah Ben! what a great trip. Thanks for the epic content.
You are truly a humble man. I'm hopping aboard the gravy train. Choo choo Ben is rolling thru.
Another sick one in the can, Ben. I have surfed BC many times and it is always breathtaking. Love the novelty at the end. You always get your money’s worth. ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed surfing in Tofino, BC, Canada. The waves are epic there! Come back soon. 🇨🇦
absolutely beautiful! your stoke is contagious. love seeing you getting after it!!
*5:23** He's carrying some serious freight on that paddle out! 🤣*
Beautiful location. Always love the novelty waves.
What a beautiful area, those guys hooked you up. JT got the shots too, the drone footage was awesome. Canada down! What's next...woot! 🍍🍍
What an absolutely beautiful place. I have family there that I haven't seen in years. Thank you Ben, this video has brought back a lot of very good memories. It must be nice to surf in a place where the damages from human activity are not so evident. I am excited about joining you on this journey of surfing so many countries.
The claim..surf every country with the crazy locals. That’s a dream I can subscribe to.
Man the housing prices there are ducked. Humanity done it’s damage it’s just financial
Right on, glad you had a good time in the big Island
That was a great trip Ben. Off the beaten path!
Sweet flow on a gorgeous cobble wave. Winter explore n score in BC. NICELY DONE ✔
Loving your Dream, BG. Without Love in a Dream it will never come True.
Another sic surf video from BC🍁 loving it 👍😍
Easily one of your best videos in my personal opinion. from the personalities of the Canadian lads you were with to the eerie yet adventurous vibe the vid brought. Also the cracker of a wave @ 8:27
Amazing!! Looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for the stoke.
I broke my foot today! I’m a spectator for a while! Keep the stoke coming! Love the vlog!
outstanding adventure!
Great novelty score! The dream IS real.
Nice, well done. Great edit. Cheers
Always makes it look easy and so fun!
Everything about this is legendary
keep bringing the stoke - come back to bc anytime, stoke is always welcome
Dude, those wave look so fun, peelers baby.
You and your NubNation continue to lift us all up, thanks!
GRAVY NAVY..... BRO AFTER THESE VIDS HERRING HARRY GOING TO TO BE GIVING SURF TOURS AND HANGIN UP THE FISHIN👍👍👍❤️👍🌅🌊🌊🌊👍🤣👍👍👍❤️❤️🤣
So many gems that it become a whole charm.
Epic awesome keep it up , for the dream
My fav series so far❤
Ben Buddy way ta go coming to BC brother. For the dream yo. Hope you have/ had a great awesome skukum time...!
Claim: My favorite Ben Gravy Vlog to date! Epic,visually spectacular ride!
Thanks so much!
Long interval swell is so powerful. This spot looks fun & not too closed out. This same swell hit us in Northern California at 16 feet at 18 seconds. I blew my knee out catching an insider after a set wave on this swell. Now I'm hobbled 😆 after surfing 🏄♂️ for months straight.....
Way to go the distance brother. Great Zen of the final "novelty" point wave. Your Canadian brothers need to be selectively connected to Nub Nation / Gravy Navy. The Dream is Real!
you know sh*t is getting serious when Ben is getting the shortboard out ! 🤙
What a beautiful place.
Was frothing looking at the forecast for this storm! Ben if you really want to get some Canadian Tubes you might want to investigate Haida Gwaii!
Wish i could take you to the perfect peak that breaks parallel to the beach 20 yards off shore. The time will come that i will surf there again. What a fun adventure you had. Good for you I'm glad you visited.
From a non surfer point of view is must be WAY more fun when you surf with hardly anyone around, those Hawaii vids are like a packed freeway!
Loving the Canadian vibes!
EPIC!!! Ben, I love your channel and watching you score everywhere you go. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, that might not be considered a novelty wave, but is rare of a place as you’ll ever find, go surf the Azov sea in Ukraine. I spent a summer there, and just happened to score some waves when we went to the beach there. It’s fickle, but like nobody rides it - it would be epic to see you charge it there. You might have to wait until after Russia and Ukraine sort things out there, but if and when they do, it would be a cool place to go visit - it’s as rare of a spot as you will ever see. For the dream!
good things happen to good people! trip of a lifetime, live on the island for 3 years and you cracked local only spot for real
That must have been one hell of an experience Mr Gravy
I love that board.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Surf and music!
Welcome to Canada, We do have some good waves but it's cold up here so enjoy - Cheers :)
Looks soooo easy & fun! 🤙
Really liked the music this episode
Amazing how many different lines u can draw on that wave!
We are very happy to see you succeed in life my friend cold blooded reptile 🦎 you ✌🏽
Solid like ice 🧊
I always wanted to surf that break looks like spring Island I'm glad to see my comments in your last video got fullfilled
Ben! you need to come to Estonia, we have some novelty for you here! just need to get the timing right
Still rocking it Ben :)
For the dream Ben!!!
LOVE THAT CAPTAIN DUDE, AYE! YEEEW; NUKIN IT! Shine On☝️😄✌🕊🤙💝😀⬆️
Cool stuff,thanks!!!!!!
Just plain awesome
For the dream o yess mr Gravy YEWWWWE FIRST FOR THE STOKE!!
🇨🇦 boys found you the spot that is half or a third of the true swel size. That's why we watch 👀 you. Most of us seek these type of waves when the surf 🏄♀️ is macking as opposed to the heavier spots...we can relate 🤙
Beautiful thanks
Nice post all around.
Great video. I'll go w y srf all the world around🌎😎
Group of the boys used to travel up to Nova Scotia Canada when it gets hot and flat here in Delaware in like July...Said there was long point breaks all over the place.
@6:50 A true Norm MacDonald moment! 🙌 #Bigging #Winning
fresh beats for the dream
Super cool. My first thought tho, was get yourselves some good coffee. Megabucks boat and instant coffee??!! ¡No tiene sentido!
Ben can milk a wave to it's final dribble . A talent most can't or don't want to do . Once a wave is done it's gone to history .
I’ve got Marcus’ book cold comfort 🤙🏽
Give that captain a bottle of great red wine.... spring mountain napa
Great trip! The cool thing (for us here) is that now that you are for sure surfing EVERYWHERE, you will deeeeefinitely be coming to NZ. How many options do you have here bro? Soooo many lol
Ben quite the adventure. You plan to surf every Country is off to a rolling start. You definitely hooked up with the best “Western Canada Surf Guide, Captain Herring” Just goes to show you that surfing and surfers are not type cast. I would’ve never thought Canada would have waves like I saw, and I’m sure much better. Ben, what DJI drone are you using? You’re getting great shots. I’m anxious to talk to you in person about this trip when you come back to Encinitas. PK😎
Good one
Let’s go surfing in Kamchatka 🤙
Can you share the surf guide’s info? Looks like a great operation they are running I’d love to check them out
I'm here for the novelty wave yes sir
Beautiful
20 sec ride epic 😎
The foamie went well on those waves. Is that your 8 footer? PS the amount of quality waves you score in unlikely locations is insane.
😈😈😈 you go to turn and the board thumping up and down 😈😈😈
Stoked
That was fun .
you went from an idyllic shelter cove with stunning weather to foggy conditions..yeww! How far was the spot from 6:41to 6:45?
What’s the water temp high 30s
Jbay South Africa next!!!!!!!!!
Cracking Boat 👍
Does SAND SURFING count? Might be a few spots a little arid.
Go across the border to Rialto Beach Washington good surf break
If you're back on your international hype mate, can I suggest redoing England next winter.
If we time the swell I can guarantee you a barrelling reef. 👌
