The secret sauce in @bengravyy 1. Honesty (You don't edit out all the goofs) 2. Vulnerability (You called your mom first when you broke your collarbone) 3. Inspiration (You've told your story about drinking and your belief in your sobriety) 4. Family (Whether it's Cam, Sasquatch, Jordan, your brothers, or Dennis, they're all real, included, and part of the team) 5. Fun (You have made surfing fun again for so many who burned out on the crowds, hype, competition, and ill will) Oh, and you're as nice in person as the guy who appears in your VLOGs. Love you buddy, #skinndogg
I'm not a surfer but I tell you what, after spending more time swimming at the beach I've earned a whole lot more respect for you guys. I got ragdolled by a pretty average wave and was still in pain all next day 😂
And trust me,that for anyone to reach the point where you can surf with confidence takes a lot off pain,a lott of your body and soul,but when you surf your's "dream" wave for the first time with success,all the pain and Misery goes away in a split second. From then its enjoy life and surfing everyday if possible. To me it's the most rewarding fealing there is,to be able to surf as far as you can. Its going for me for the last 43 years and still have a lot off gas in the Tank. Just go for it,you will not regret a single bit,trust me.
Enjoy life, surfing and happiness which all make each other better and life happier no matter what wave craft your riding. Being a waterman is everything 🌊🌊🌊🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
You know what it's like to try and go viral. It's what led you to alcoholism and trashing your body. You're on the right path my friend, stay the course and thanks for all the inspiration. Self-value is never found in likes from other humans
@@tammy6992 I know how it works, seen it a lot in my life. I'm just saying he was doing all of the stunt work, going crazy wrecking himself and drinking his face off when he was trying to go viral. He'll know what I'm saying. Now he does it to spread a positive message and he's on the right path. Given his history all that should be self-explanatory, but it's more about what he was going for in reference to the current video instead of not just going for the likes and doing it for the right reason, like he does now
Ben I will follow you for who you are what your doing is so different to others I try to surf or my health as surfing with ptsd depression and anxiety. Being a single dad 2 to amazing kids watching your videos just makes me wanna go surfing 🏄♂️ every day. Unlucky for us at the minute Cornwall wether isn’t great so am home practicing my popup. For the dream 🤙
Good message here. Cool tennis match convo with your girl. And I’ve watched your vids on YT for years now and have enjoyed your content. Appreciate the fact that your from the Jersey shore (right?) and look out for the more unpopular surf spots to catch better waves and vibes. Keep searching bro and we will follow .
You always have positive comments in your vlogs and encourage your audience to be the best that they can be. Keep up the good work. I am not a surfer, but I love your vlogs & the messages that it sends to your audiences. 🌴😎👍
Your movie brought me to start watching your channel. I'm from Oregon so I'm glad to hear that it's in your top biggest waves. Glad I found the channel. For the dream baby 👍🏻🤙🏻
You guys are tv personality more than social media influencers.🗣 We follow you in your adventures and get motivated 💪 I watch divers, campers , builders❤you tube
Heck yeah bro going close to my home break !!!! Gulf Shores Alabama !!! You definitely need to go check it out . Here is a couple of breaks. Alabama point , Terry Cove , and West Beach Pass ! I hope you get a chance to check it out FOR THE DREAM!!!!!!! It’s only about a 30 to 45 min drive from P-Cola
Ben, I'm not gonna say it wasn't big in Oregon, it was , and cold too , making things seem bigger and thicker, but it really was huge in Hawaii , outer reef , when Jamie and Kalani towed you in on , that was mighty big of those brothers to put that kind of faith in you, and share that experience, but this as a paddle in was hairy
The Panama vid was filmed at a very good time bc no other surfer had legit videos of Panama in the past three years. When i looked up Panama surf vids yours came up first.
I'd rather be poor and a nobody and do works of Good for God instead of being famous and jaded with greed in my soul for fame brings roads to a wicked hearts
... Congrats' - Ironic how some of the "biggest" waves of our lives aren't really the Largest. Interesting 8-minute 1-on-1 between Mr. and Mrs. (Gravy)... Seems a possible paradigm-shift of posted Content. (Or maybe just a natural-extension ??). A little of both, i'm Guessing. "Reality T.V." is based on Realism, duh, (or not). This seems about as "real" as it gets. Husband and Wife discussing the finer points of their livelihood, Career. Obviously a risk; you stand the chance of alienating a lot of your "regular" Fans - (especially the younger ones ??), Maybe... All Pop-Stars are faced with that "reality" at one point or another. What to do - keep posting the same content over-and-over until you can't pop-up No More ?? - Try to surf every country in the World ?? (I haven't done the math on that one, but it seems very difficult at-best). Or turn the cameras' inward and expose your more intimate sides to the entire World ?? ~ A tough question for sure, and one only people who become true "Stars" are faced with... Of course, your "Career" depends on New Content - (or Recycled Content), a mix of both ?? - Each day brings new waves of decisions and obstacles. I think most of your fans will be on-board for wherever the Captain chooses to sail... Just be prepared for some Backlash; Change brings chances for people both far and near (sometimes the nearest), to be critical, jealous, over-bearing, mean - i'm guessing you've already experienced some, or all of That - Don't let it affect your judgement and decision making - Keep giving away your heart/soul/dollars, and mostly Waves - people will remember that Forever !!
The biggest wave of your life Mackie dropped the ball not getting it u going out of frame. Sucks probably more boat driver not getting him position. Soul surfing.
Preach brother. Nub nation for the salvation 🙏

Now he's just an acai-holic
Not sure alcoholism works that way, but it’s all good

Jah is real ! Jah light at dawn patrol. I thank you Jah for the glorious morning- Beenie Man
Gravy navy for the win j v is smoking hot
Ben, I'm not gonna say it wasn't big in Oregon, it was , and cold too , making things seem bigger and thicker, but it really was huge in Hawaii , outer reef , when Jamie and Kalani towed you in on , that was mighty big of those brothers to put that kind of faith in you, and share that experience, but this as a paddle in was hairy
Jordan describing the difference in the big waves had me cracking up!😃
nice🤙🤙🤙🤙
So great 💧
good points in the convo.
basically it all gets back to: be yourself. weird, right?
The Panama vid was filmed at a very good time bc no other surfer had legit videos of Panama in the past three years. When i looked up Panama surf vids yours came up first.
4 Da Dream !
OTC!!
How do you get to through the waves on a soft top?
👍👍👍
Sweet
Epic 🤙😎🤙🐼🤙
The Hawaiian wave looked bigger
nice chat!!
They were all big scary waves. Bigger than anything I would take off on but the Hawaii wave was the biggest in my ooinion.
man that opening wave is the stuff of dreams. where is that?
Anyone know where on the island this is?
Rincon..west coast
Just post what’s in your heart. Who cares how many views or likes it gets?!
Those monster waves were huge you were a little speck compared to them! So Jamie would claim 6 to 8 ft hawwain haha
I think the oregon bomb was bigger!!
Didn't u surf in nazare?
You didn't miss any thing in nj thats for sure
So, If I watch your IG vid 4 times, is that 4 views, or 1?
Sharks are out before sunrise I think.
How are video views calculated?
I don't see any of Ben's vids exceeding 1m views on youtube.
Never made it back pipe why? still good sometimes in April maybe even a early south in Town j vern likes town
Oregon Looked Bigger
The expression "dead ass" needs to go but otherwise always enjoying the vlog always loving you guys
Oregon waves just FEEL BIGGER. You’re not wrong. Just saying….😂
Haha dude ! I swear
