  • I cannot thank the Sea Screamer enough for such an amazing experience, the longest wave on the Florida panhandle!! Here's their website: seascreamer.net/. For many years I waited for my perfect opportunity to ride this epic novelty wave machine & it just so happened that Captain Cody was thinking the exact same thing. I can't thank everyone involved enough for making this such an amazing experience. THANK YOU NUB NATION FOR THE DREAM!!! - Love Ben

    Hey, great song! Thanks for bringing back unbridled stoke. I started surfing in Half Moon Bay Ca. in the mid 70's, before pro surfing and the whole giant industry thing. I remember a time when people just went in the water and played around on whatever they had and we were all just having fun. Air mats, plywood paipo boards, hand planes, knee boards, pool toys. No one snaked anyone. we could all see who was in the spot and we hooted for them and things were good. Your stoke reminds me of that time and I appreciate it.

    Ben, you didn’t wait long enough. Wait til hurricane season or the next big front that comes through with a slightly east south east swell. Then go to the other side of the pass and surf next to the jetty! Amazons is what some ppl call it. I’ve caught waves that will break the whole length of the jetty well overhead. Maybe one day you will be able to get it. Best wave I’ve ever surfed in the whole state of Florida.

      CristopherMederos get it but the way it sounds you might want to keep it to yourself ! It could be taken different ways. Not sure which way you meant it I do not know you. It is a free country I understand ! People say they were born one way or another & its ok. If They said the were born a baby rapist would thwt bw ok? Not in my opinion It would be best to keep info like that to yourself ! Somethings are best kept brhind closed locked doors not in public on a beach or? . You orobsbly did not mean it thst way but if I tel about a sesh I had last night with a couple of hot chicks. It would not be thought of as surfing with guys that are ny friends Like you meant? Right?

Worked my first beach service job with Jacob Gorman out at Caroline Beach on the west end of pub, and was in the same grade with Justin Gorman. Just great people,. I remember watching Jared Gorman surf when i was just grom and just being blown away by how sick he was. I watched the sea screamer run my entire life man. So great to see Ben showing up in my home town, wish i would have known about it in advance! Great content brother, keep it coming

    Lived in Pensacola 5 years back in the 70’s. There is pretty much no surf in summer unless a storm is brewing. There are those days though when the surf is amazing. Grew up in SoCal surfing north of Santa Barbara to south Baja. Surfing the gulf coast was a different experience. Most of the time if there was decent waves there was a storm just offshore. Surfed twice with a hurricane just offshore jumping off the old Pensacola pier. One day though, 3 of us went out with no one else there (our secret spot) and it was 6-8 foot with an offshore wind. Perfect waves.
