We know Ben loves his soft tops, and for all intents and purposes thats the board of choice for out on the east coast where Ben calls home but once you get to Hawaii though, and are surfing those larger faster and less forgiving waves its cool to see you using the smaller boards and refining your skillset. Being able to move faster, turn faster and sharper, being able to use those small thin boards to excel and refine your skillset is nothing but a good thing. You can translate the abilities you learn with those type of boards to your soft tops too. Youre getting better and better the more you surf in Hawaii man. Thats for sure. Consistently pushing yourself and going out of any comfort zone you might have, that's where the real progression occurs. You will prove time and again to yourself and any of us out here watching that you are capable of shredding waves you never thought you would shred. I guarantee that you will surprise yourself and us consistently when you start really consistently riding bigger waves and doing so with that never ending desire for getting better. Best part about it is that you're actually enjoying yourself and enjoying the time you're spending in the water.
First of all, Ben I love your videos you are ripping! I love seeing your good friend Matt, what a great dude he is. I really enjoy watching you and your mates just having fun. And I can't forget Zeke, he is a top guy always happy and positive on life just an absolute joy to watch. Thank you Ben, keep up the great work! And the editing is on point so well done there to, yeeeew 🤙🏄🔥
Ben I have watched your channel for some time and I have seen you grow comfortable in these Hawaiian waters. Just on this trip, Will's confidence has improved so much. That barrel you almost made was sick. Zeke ripping. It was close but I have to give Ben's barrel an extra point just because of that double arm JJ stance. Aloha.
I love the way Ben surfs. He has this really cool style where he draws everything out and makes it look super smooth and easy. I think that is what all the softop riding does to you cause I feel it doing same thing to my surfing, just not as good as Ben. Very diff from his early years.

Ben's Hawaii Trip Itinerary: 1: Take Will to the meca of surfing and blow his mind. 2: Talk $hit with JOB. 3: Take Will to Waimea Bay and scare the crap out of him. 4: Get Will the wave of his life. 5: Bust Jaime's balls! 6: Kiss O'Brien ass for the secret spot. 7: Get Will on a Team Gravy short board. 8: Put up with Zeke. 😄 9: Last chance to rag on Jamie before I go home and surf the goods! 10: Get home and kiss Dennis and Jordan. ( Not necessarily in that order.)
Ben need to know where I can get your towel/poncho! Love watching your channel. I white water kayak and those towels would be awesome to help me change on the side of the road. Keep the videos coming!
Dude, I used to live on Oahu when I was a little kid back in the 80s. Those centipedes are no joke. I got bit by one I was like 5 years old and my hand got so swollen and I had to go to the emergency room in that big pink hospital up in the hills. Not sure if it’s still there.
@@smelltheglove2038 🤣🤣🤣 yes it is fully operational till today. If i had to guess you was military or mom and dad was. But yes it is known as tripler army hospital.
@@FawknHayn2986 that place has to be almost 100 years old. Both my brothers were born there. One of them lives there now. My dad was a Navy but he was surfer too. It was his plan to get to Hawaii for free.
@@smelltheglove2038 🤣🤣🤣 get there for free thats fxcking funny. It used to be a school till the pearl harbor bombing the military took it over painted it pink and turned it into the hospital. Pink was so the enemy knew it was a safe place and not to bomb it or some shit laddat. I've live here my whole life im 38 and i can say i have never been to that hospital or even went up that hill to it, now thinking about it i feel stupid not to go see it. Ahh im taking the kids up there in the morning lol
Ben, when they finally dig me out, I'll be like "iiiiiiiiiiiii waaasssss juussttt kiidddinnn' guys". It's at that moment that Brett will step up and say "I TOLD YOU he was gonna say that!!!". It's called foreshadowing Ben. Every great WRITER has it. I didn't say Editor. I'm not an editor. My mind goes writer sometimes though.
What an epic squad!!! There are too many jokes to comment on...Will beat Gravy in comp... It doesnt bother me😂😂😂. Heaviest claim... Will looks like the guy I wanna pick on THPS🤙. Barrels, busted boards and BG in a Hawaii For The Win!!! YEEEEEW🤜🍍🤛
i rented the log cabins house from 90-94 before moving out to Mok's one of the best waves on the north shore but super fickle ,, surfed plenty huge rock piles the left is actually the wave when its on ,, funny gas chambers was always my go to wave over rockies especially in the 4-6ft range any bigger and your getting stomped ,,
Well dude Your time on the North shore I'm guessing is the cause for this, but your overall surfing skills have so dramatically improved. Your devotion to the art as well as the good folks to help you with your endevour has made it what it is for sure. But man, you were truly ripping on this segment.
Bro he is absolutely making moves towards getting better and better. Surfing out there on North shore is gonna prove to be an invaluable asset for him, it's exciting to watch it happening in real time.
He said u have it on action cam , take that off me.. he was playing around. U think he wud do that when it's his event n def going on yt.. he at least has to act the part. Can't be a dick on camera
Hey Ben set HOB up with a shaping bay at his new pad and put him on the payroll! Maybe have HOB create some custom boards with his art on it! I would rather watch HOB shaping boards videos over HOB dealing with literally shit in a pipe! and I don't mean The Pipe Masters!
I see Zeke has gone full on Taliban with that beard. It's thicker than a carpet. I still only get like 3 hairs outta the bottom of my chin. 😢 Zeke and Ivan have to compete for the sickest beard on the North Shore.
@@boddysurfer I thought to myself when writing that Ivan's mutton chops might be edging out Zeke. Now I watched the rest of the vid and Zekes beard is so thick. When Ivan's chops start waving to the camera while he drops in he's definitely runnin away with first prize.
@@erikvaldur3334 Zeke has the Grizzly Adams thickness and volume, but he needs more style. It's a canvas and he is the artist. Bust out the clippers and show us what ya got!

Love your output bro, you are in beast mode. Keeping the stoke flowing. You and Zeke are a great combo, like everyone else said!
"He looks like he works at any bank that's about to go out of business." I died !!!😂
Thats a country club adjacent type chirp lol quality back off material 😅
@@chasecarter1170 Shorsey comes to mind on my end. Classic show.
The bro was happy with the Tony Hawk compliment then Gravy deals the reality check. Harsh but fair😂😂
That song was so good at the end!!It's got me psyched for surf!!!
Stoked for you. I'm in Helsinki Finland freezing my a** off 😅
Belated Merry Christmas and a wonderful Newyears

Ben and Zeke are a great duo
I think his Lady is a far better match… Tatts is a bit overboard at times..
Why Zeke seem like such a dope dude! Super positive hyping it up!
Ehh he’s kinda a douche to others in person
I am 56 and bought the 2 pair socks .. stoked to wear and represent you up here in SAC, CALI .. thanks !!
12:55 , what was Kelly Slater doing on a body board ?
My gut feeling is telling me Ben will be a permanent resident of the North Shore in the future.
If that's in the cards for the Gravy family, how exciting would that fuckin be man. The stoke would be absolutely off the charts!
Probably. Boy how things have changed. His kook ass would have been beat up and sent home 20 years ago. He’s the pied piper of kooks.
@@locogringo6676 No wonder your watching him then
My gut feeling tells me I'm bout to give birth to a steamin demon!💩🕺🤣
Dunno. I could see him arraigning like a month long Stay during winter but it’s crazy expensive. Does vlogging pay for that 5k a month rental?
Awesome waves 🤙 The barrel the grom got at 14 mins was so good! Charging.
Let’s see some more Occy in those turns!! Loving the progression 🤙🏽
the intro to this video is so wholesome
Wow ! Ben getting all shreddy!; I got dizzy watching
"Remember 95? I mean I was in Jersey, but apparently it was big" LMFAO
You guys nailed this epicness!!
Thanks Hayward!
It’s bigger than it looks!🤙🍍
That's what she said🤣🕺
I'm on team Will 💯
Big wave Will absolutely has to go on Tony hawks pro skater now lol so I can pick him
Epic content ❤
Back on the Gravy train 🚂 🏄🏼♂️🤙🏼

Tearing it up🤙

Was that Aka?? damn!
Do you always leave your car windows open during rain storms?
Best wave in da world!
Smoked it!
U C IT BEN
yoo, isnt that jobs pupukea house??
fun stuff
I've been wondering about the location of the house where Jamie keeps his boat and jet skis from this video. Now, I know.
What's Henry's @ tho 👀
the repeated clips of purple board paddling for waves and not going 😂
The session at 12:00 is a back wash mess… But pretty..🤙🏻
It looks like the window is down the whole time it's raining in that blue whip
Did you surf Rubber Duckies?
So sick! The boys getting b rolled!! Where'd your wifey go Gravy McGraverson? Hope alls well
Ben's surfing style is suited to a 9ft mal , surfing Malibu
V Land for the win...yewwwww
V land??
my moto...U never know unless u Go...OTC and 2% ...Ben Vid....Bam...with a JOB...
The car window is open in the storm 😅
95 was gnarly
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Gravy Tails
Nice, Ben Hairy got tubed.
Sick
Nice
Gravy is the only surfer that doesn’t treat JOB as a star😊
Cuz they r friends
I hope Jamie O'Brien was just kidding when he said get that camera off me please don't be that guy.
He said u have it on action cam , take that off me.. he was playing around. U think he wud do that when it's his event n def going on yt.. he at least has to act the part. Can't be a dick on camera
Zeke wave scores, a solid, 5’6” somehow Ben pulled out a 6’2” 🥸🤪
🤙🌊
thank god he finally put that soft top in the closet
the dream
California's 20' RIGHT NOW
Cute outfits
Sick Socks 😂
Comments are so weak here. This world is effed. Love amd joy oh boy go team yay ben. Gross.
Hey Ben set HOB up with a shaping bay at his new pad and put him on the payroll! Maybe have HOB create some custom boards with his art on it! I would rather watch HOB shaping boards videos over HOB dealing with literally shit in a pipe! and I don't mean The Pipe Masters!
Someone gets the boo-boo prize for leaving the window open on the wagon
"Worst team in the industry" haha niiiice one
Think you need to ummm design a few boards specifically for Hawaii . They were not working
I see Zeke has gone full on Taliban with that beard. It's thicker than a carpet.
I still only get like 3 hairs outta the bottom of my chin. 😢
Zeke and Ivan have to compete for the sickest beard on the North Shore.
Ivans' super chops win hands down. He could braid the ends viking style if he wanted!
@@boddysurfer I thought to myself when writing that Ivan's mutton chops might be edging out Zeke.
Now I watched the rest of the vid and Zekes beard is so thick.
When Ivan's chops start waving to the camera while he drops in he's definitely runnin away with first prize.
@@erikvaldur3334 Zeke has the Grizzly Adams thickness and volume, but he needs more style. It's a canvas and he is the artist. Bust out the clippers and show us what ya got!
You’re a lucky guy Ben. Don’t ever forget it
DONT FORGET MAUI DEW
Will looks like Terrance McKenna 😳🤔
Love the blue jetta wagon with the passenger window down while its raining. Choke brah .. ps zeke is cringe, sweaty tryhard.
First baby
don't think you surfin V land and not getting dropped in on 😂
zek luck he got the airs down as he an slightly above average surfer
I’ll buy a boothby model.
2%
If those 2 are burning you, that means your taking too many waves
Both live at the wave year round
And they always look. You must of had it coming
Quoting Jammie O'brien..."surfing is for kooks" get a boogie board!
BE are you still married????
hot aggressive rides
