We went Surfing in North Korea!?

  • This has been the most amazing surf trip of my life! Visiting South Korea has been one of the most exciting countries I've been to, let alone today we're going to "surf in North Korea". Essentially after the Korean War the country was split into two, the North & the South. They divided the country at the 38th parallel & the line isn't exactly straight so some of South Korea pushes up into North Korea. Today we are exploring the waves of that area & having some fun with the idea. None of this video is to be taken seriously, we didn't actually drive from South Korea to surf in North Korea, but we did visit the DMZ & catch some waves along the way. An amazing day while on a life changing trip! Thanks for all of the stoke & support! - Ben

    This is what I like about you content, normally we see pro or “known” surfers in perfect conditions and waves I only see once a year, and that is not your case, if there are shitty waves you try it anyway..that’s what I love to see in your content. Standard, average waves and a good surfer. Just to see you ripping this waves makes us (your audience) better surfers. ❤️

    Watching Ben eat packaged snacks has been extremely entertaining. Sam is the man for making this all happen. ..North Korea and Ben is still driving. Not far from the DMZ is the most heavily militarized zone in the world, including beaches. The small section in between is governed by the United Nations. Glad no one stepped on a mine surfing the 38th parallel. Sketchy AF.
