ONE MILE MIRACLE in NEW JERSEY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2018
- What's up NUB NATION!! Today I'm here to share with you the East Coast 's one mile novelty wave miracle of surfing in the great state of New Jersey. For the most part the South East & Mid Atlantic region of the United States are a long, flat stretch of sand extending down the coast. So surfing is relatively the same everywhere a surfer can travel. Somehow, though, I was lucky enough to grow up in an area where the novelty waves run rampant, a place I call the one mile miracle. Thanks for the stoke!! - Love Ben

This guy is the most wave deprived yet most grateful surfer.
samsung a10 yeah, I always say that!😀🤪
the kind of guy that sees the surf glass half full. Prretty rad.
Try surfing in the south of England bud
That’s how we are in jerz!
@@noahhenvest8026 I surfed newquay Cornwall while there visiting family. That’s more like south-west huh?
I'll never complain about my local surf break again because yours is worse but you still have fun and appreciate what you have.
+ onespeed 349 down thumbers are still beachin' it
True
I live 2 hours from any surf :/
Thanks for using our music 😊👍🎶
I love how honestly stoked this kid is. I haven't been near an ocean in a long time but I love watching this guy.
I love this guy. His glass is much more than half full. Keep up the positive vibes my man!
LBI + Hurricane == Love
More of this is needed in surfing. There are too many surfers, including those in shops, being secretive or sometimes outright deceitful about surfing spots. Share the love and share the stoke. Getting more people out in the water and on the waves will protect it for all of us, especially here in the northeast where access can be limited by $$$ houses and $$$ people.
"the beauty of all this is that we're finding epicness in the mediocre."
not only is that what surfing should be, that should be what living is. this video was a blast. much appreciated.
I grew up in southeastern MI. The only waves I knew of back then was boat wake. Now I grouch if the surf isn't at least chest high and glassy. Great videos by the way.
It’s awesome how creative you are. You find the best in everything
The best surfer is the one who's having the most fun. It's not about the waves. Keep the stoke alive Ben! You're an inspiration to a lot of people myself included.
These are one of a kind waves--thanks for taking us on the tour!
55x11 thank YOU for the positive comment !!
I grew up surfing the 609 too -- from States Ave. in AC to LBI, but my daily spot is North Street OCNJ. I recognize the Beasley's Point Power Plant
Growing up on Phillip island Victoria Australia I had a stackload of waves to chose from but your videos are so inspiring to just get out there and enjoy what Mother Earth throws at your local spot. Keep up the good work 👍🤙🤙
started watching your vids because curiosity about novelty waves, and man, have to say i became addicted to them... keep rippin' it up! stay stoked!
You're honestly such an inspiration because you appreciate every wave you catch weather in the rivers or creeks in landlocked states or waves like these and it makes me appreciate the bad and the good waves we have in the Carolinas. Rock on man 🤙
I'm gonna move to NJ, start a ding repair company and make a fortune.
hahaha
LOLzzzzz (to the 3rd power!!)
Dang, Wish id a thought of that! IM GONNA DO IT ANYWAY. But ill sell Bird on da side...
B. Boy Brown
Ding repair? You're going to be a orthopedist?
You seem like a real positive person and I love that. Keep up the good work👊🏼
Thankyou for this Ben. I love seeing footage of the different breaks and any given area in hopes of visiting that place one day. Absolutely loving the stoke you have on every session no matter what the conditions. Your attitude is infectious, as i surf 10x more often in the last 2 years since ive been watching the vlog. For the dream!
We love your uploads, Mr. Gravy. The kids dig what you do.
I was lucky to surf once a month during the calendar year of 2017. I was working three jobs with no time to surf and basically no time for anything which affected me a lot. It’s hard to believe but I lost my connection with the ocean. Watching your videos is what got my butt back in the water. You have inspired me to get in the water, even if it’s ankle high to double overhead. Don’t get me wrong, I love the RUSH of a big wave but I also love how much fun small waves can be. When we think of surfing we think of waves but the true essence is about the STOKE!! Catching waves that makes me feel like a kid again is what I’m in search of now. We will always be kids at heart and I Thank you for sharing your Stoke and your Dream with all of us Ben!! Chee! One more time For the Boys!! This fish may be getting old but this old fish can still POP!!
As an old guy who learned to surf in Ventnor, NJ (Princteton Avenue) and the Gilgo Beach, Long Island and then got transplanted to Southern California in the 60s, I have to say that you are -- by far -- one of the most resourceful surfers I have seen! You take absolute garbage and turn it into treasure. Also, your resourcefulness, deftness, balance, and board skills are incredible.
Please take this talent and turn it loose on some of the more conventional breaks across the world, I am begging you!
Thanks so much!!
Just moved to ventnor 4 days ago...Marion Ave between Atlantic and ventnor Ave. A block from the beach. Cant wait til summer to skimboard and surf!!!!
for the win! great story really cool for those of us who've been watching for a while and for those who haven't they can go back and watch all the amazing stories from those epic days, especially the last one.....total epicness....thanks ben for another 15 min of smiles! for the dream!
A friend sent me this video! Made me miss my days of surfing in South Jersey! Love your optimism!!! Surf when and where you can!!!
dude i lost count! meanwhile i gotta say your mini mood films are Beyond Vlog and your narratives - audio, visual, and verbal - really come across in the editing. sometimes i feel like i'm watching Nat.Geo. or the Endless Summer.
i'm into an obscure corner of the Gulf that packs a lot of nooks and corners in walking distance of each other, i can so relate! keeps your muscle memory going for the bigger days. Also.. a friendly group of ecccentrics who mostly play fair
Loving it, thanks for the stoke!!!
David Gough T+t
Y
He's like the love child of Woody Harrelson and Bohdi from point break
Was just about to comment Woody Harrelson if Woody's parents had named him "Thumper".
this is the first video I'm watching of him and after 30 secs I was about to comment the same damn thing
And Owen wilson
Hahaha
Love your positivity to the surfing community. We need more people like you! Keep it up Ben and don't stop ripping
found your channel from your top 10 novelties video a while back, this vid reminded me of all of your absolutely mental videos and adventures since then. keep up the good work brotha!
"Finding epicness in the mediocre." Love it. Great vid. Cheers from FL.
Wow I had no idea who u are, i was actually working on a house at the point in L.P. and saw ur pineapple Van and just though man I would love to be out surfing w this dude instead of painting on this day.... I'm old school grew up here my entire life and always wanted to do what ur doing but life is funny that way I had to turn in the board to jump into the daily grind of supporting my self n my little one but this video really gave me a spark to get back into the water thanks dude ur pretty awesome bro...
Epic to hear!! For the dream dude!
Man ......... your enthusiasm and gratitude for life are so Infectious ........ Thank you for sharing my friend .... you rock!!
Thanks so much!!
Inspirational to all surfers, you embody the stoke that keeps us all alive and riding waves! subbed.
This is so sick, man. Major respect for what you do!
Thanks so much!!
Possibly one of your top three videos 😎
People like you guys are the reason I surfed. I can tell you and your boys really enjoy surfing the way it should be.
Yea I’m a purest but I remember that buzz when a crazy swell or hurricane would come up the coast. Pure joy. Better than any drug.
Stoked, thanks so much!!!
Love your style and outlook on surfing and life in general. Definitely the novelty dream king! Keep doing the good work man.
Yesss! Killer tour of the 1 Mile Miracle! Makes me want to find some novelties here in FL!
Yes!! Enjoy yourself
Ben Gravy if you get a boat set up check out the sand bars off the coast of Cape Canaveral down here in Florida but talk with the fishermen first I heard of some good sand bars but you need a boat to explore the place and there are some big sharks too so you might want take a jetski with you , be Safe and thanks for keeping it real and fun to watch brother. Peace
love your commitment to those novelty waves - riding them on to the rocks! BG rocks!!
haha! Thanks!
I grew up in a wave Mecca. I hand you big props for the skilz you've developed and the enthusiasm you've maintained.
Where I live now there is wild surf and some amazing novelty waves but we don't video or photograph here.
I love this! Thanks for sharing your passion and creativity. I think you've got the stoke more than anyone I've ever seen and it's beautiful!
one brave soldier with a great positive attitude. those are the sketchiest spots.
I’m in the same situation really, I never grew up in barrelling 5ft waves, the waves here are very mediocre. Yet I’m surfing everyday and managed to make it to a few international comps, purely from being addicted. (I grew up in UK btw)
LukeLewiTV that’s awesome man!! Making the best of it is fun !!
I used to sit on my board every day in the 80's, waves or not in Myrtle Beach. You took what you could get. Once or twice a year you catch a glassy good day and that made it all worth it. Congrats on one of the most unique surfing videos I've seen to date.
Bro you are opening my eyes to search for anything that could possibly be surfed props to you
What I like about being a bodyboarder on the Delmarva is chasing east coast lows and hurricane swell. We may not get good surf all the time on the east coast, but I live for tracking those storms, watching the radar and satellite, waiting for the winds to switch west, then the sun comes out and things just start slamming. Peace brah YEW
Spongers unite! Greetings from Vero Beach Florida.Hurricane season should be gnarley this year.yew.
veromikes Yewww fellow sponge! What’s up man, greetings from the mid Atlantic! Hell yeah to a solid season.
South DE here...waiting on the hurricanes..
Leigh Delong Soon. I can feel it. Dreaming.
What a great attitude man. I live in Carlsbad CA where we have such a huge variety of surf, and I get so pissed with the crowds and parking, etc. I need to stop it haha!!! It makes me appreciate what I have watching this video, and it makes me stoked to want to check out the east coast, you guys all look stoked and very cool to hang with. Nice videos man!!!
Thanks so much! Go out & enjoy it!
I know the feeling! Carlsbad and Oceanside get so packed it’s just crazy. But no matter what, it’s always nice out here.
thank you for being so stoked. I have been living away from the ocean for 13 years. I have countless days surfing on lake tahoe and on the rivers surrounding the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Surfing is what you make of it, it is never perfect and any wave that pushes you can be life changing. Thanks again for being stoked on small waves.
That's epic!!! All on my bucket list
Best edit on YT ever ! Very well presented, all those waves are just epic ! It reminds me when we were surfing weird waves in Corsica Island a few years ago, so fun...
Ben you rule bro!! Inspirational wave hunting :D
Thanks! Stoked
Such a rad video probably in my top three best videos you’ve ever made I’m from San Diego and live in San Diego but moved to the Gulf coast of Florida for seven years during high school and college So I know all about novelty waves. You are definitely one of my favorite servers and like I said before if you are ever in San Diego please let me know I have some novelty ways for you to surf, Keep up with the dream and thanks again
Chris Swiec any for me to surf?
Let me know im from san diego id love some novelties
Howz it fellow nub Nation member. I live in Sunset Cliffs and have been surfing the jetty since I was 4 years old and of course I love Newbs. 33's and Ralphs when it gets good of course we have to have a good South coming in at about 180°. Ben is coming to San Diego soon I've got his email we should all hook up. If that sounds cool let me know and we'll put something together later brother
High tide south swell tamarack, great novelty
Tyler Muehlhauser Tamaracks not really a novelty wave no offense we're talking about places way down on Sunset Cliffs that nobody knows about little nooks and crannies in La Jolla just spots that you pass by and you can't see him because there's houses or you can't get to them because you have to walk there or paddle there
This is awesome! I learn to surf in Long Branch, NJ before moving to Honolulu 31 years ago. I remember scratching for any and every ripple of a wave I could get my board on. I have to say, Hawaii has spoiled me. Love your stoke!!
This is amazing, those spots look EPIC in their own way. Hope you uncover more of these gems and keep sharing!
Love this channel. :-) By the by, a quick Google shows that there are both public and private bulkheads in New Jersey and the state actually enforces upkeep and repairs with those costs coming solely from the owners pocket. As to how it applies to water access? I don't know...but after the island incident, it may bear lookin' into. I know....I'm old. :-)
On it, thanks!!
"epicness in the mediocre"
Poetry
I agree Ben my favourites are your local novelties and regular breaks plus seeing your local friends, and the rest of the east coast. Shows the life of an east coast surfer, keep it up bro
Ya Gravy love this video. Thanks for sharing your miracle with us. I have been injured an out of the water for basically 2 months. I have been watching your channel for years and always loved it. But more so in the past two months. For one reason i've I have recently stopped drinking (hard) and dealing with this injury I have a lot of bummer moments and the vlog keeps me plugged in and in good spirits. Again, thanks for all you do bradda and keep the dream alive! Yew!
Stay strong SoulJah!!
very cool video and positive vibes. I live in Huntington Beach, but your spots look like epic good times. and you are right, that is what surfing is all about
Thanks man!!
for some reason, I think I need a joint and watch this again.
haha!
I love your work man and you have an amazing energy that makes us feel good. Continue your amazing path and thanks for this.
Been watching since the beginning. Just goes to show anything is possible u came a long way and the dream is tote for real keep up gravy! Yeah!
🍍for the dream
Sick video, love all the stoke and posotivity!
Thanks Alex! Stoked
I love your attitude about your breaks and surfing in general! Keep spreading the fun!
for the dream!!
I grew up surfing sandy hook, belmar, all the way south to your neck of the woods in the 90’s. Spent summers and winters in the outer banks of NC. Now I reside in Florida with a family and watching your channel has got me out of depression, ptsd from time served in Iraq circa 03 and 05, and finally back in the water. At my ripe old age of 37 it’s more about having fun and teaching the kids to surf. You inspire us homie! Keep up the good work my friend
El slamo 360 sweet
yeww
East coast and Gulf coast surfers have great attitudes. Having fun is primo. Way different than west coast.
FUN is the win!
I live on the gold coast and me and my mates surf for fun sometime we send it down wave we know were not gonna make just beacuse we get slammed we dont use our boards as there is lots of people but we bodysurf or bodyboard
We get too serious out here although I feel like Hawaii is way worse unless you live with Slater or Hamilton
@Martin Luther we u surfing at in tampa bay
Doubt it.
This is a trip seeing you blow up like this, I grew up surfing Ocean City n it's dope having someone represent our area. Thank you for being a voice for us n our freezing cold swells.
Wow I just realized Will's singing too so obviously we have the same friends lmao.
Really enjoyed this video! I have always admired anyone that can take what’s available and use it for all it’s worth and then some. I’m not a surfer myself, a skater though and Jersey native and as a skater I know what it’s like to have a few decent scattered gems that you have to make the most of. And the idiosyncrasies of each are what makes them awesome and connects you to them. Really inspired by your resourcefulness and the way you appreciate what you have! Thanks for the upload!
My family loves ya and your brothers. Channels
:) thank you!!!
Ben Gravy 😁👍
Mate you surf in some seriously dangerous spots respect..... If you love super long rides check out 'surfing the river Severn bore' here in the UK
I'm coming to surf that thing someday!!
I am from Long Beach New Jersey but then the family moved to Cape May New Jersey and when I was 16 I moved to San Diego and in 2001 I moved to the north shore of Oahu. Life is great. Great videos keep them updated!
Thanks man!!
Loved this mate. Love how positive you are. Keep on keeping on
anyone else wathing this for like the 10th time
Yes
Hi Ben you inspire me so much with your attitude towards surfing and life in general. I live in Liverpool England and am a kitesurfer, this has unlocked the small but often perfectly formed waves that break around here. Riding a 5’8” board with my own personal tow line in the sky, stoked!!! Thanks man, much love to you and Jordan🤘🤘🤘🤘
Amen!! I think you hit the nail right on the head with this once! There's nothing wrong with traveling around enjoing different parts of the world but when one can have a great appreciation and enjoy the blessing right in front of their eyes, their lay true happiness 💞👍👍
WOODY HARRELSON BRO JUST A YOUNGER VERSION
grind that rail. Go up the wave onto the rail and grind it
ohhhhh yeah
Hi Ben, I love what you do and your attitude. When it comes to wave types I believe surfing unpredictable waves and difficult types of surf be it large or small actually makes you a more versatile and very skillful surfer! And it is so much fun! Me I am just a novice but I love the ocean🤙
Thanks Russell!! Firstly I'm glad you found a love for the ocean & yes dude since I've started riding soft tops & novelty waves all the time my all around surfing has improved !
i keep coming back and watching this video, sharing the stoke from CA love you ben
Love your stoke those wave look dangerous and real shitty
haha def sketchy & not the best waves ever, but what a classic time
East coast for the win!!!!
:) !!
Wow now I’m even more grateful to be in Southern California! Nice to see you make the best of your surf 🤙
See hard work pays off. Look how Ben has improved. Every wave has an improvement.
You are THE single coolest surfer alive. Sadly, you have very little competition. Surfers tend to be jerks or kooks.
The game will change
Why don’t you move states bro
I've thought about it
Always preferred the uncrowned novelties & the uniqueness & stoke they bring. The reason I started following you is because of your top 10 novelty video that I found after getting barrels all to myself at a rare spot on the FL Gulf Coast then searched YT for other people chasing the novelty dream. Glad I found your Channel Brah, entertainment value strong! 🏄🏼♂️💨🤙🏼🎥👊🏼
I'm amazed at how you surf on stuff most surfers would drive past until they got to their favorite break.
You live in the "Great Depression" of surf breaks but you make it work and enjoy what you have. Love the positivity and stoke😂😂
#1surfer in the world 12 times over is frome the east coast.
You guys ever heard of a man called kelly slater?😂
You are a great storyteller. Your tour makes me think of my own novelty wave I can surf before work or during a very long lunch break- always empty but fickle.
thank you Ben,as asurfer from the east coast back in 1970,you have shed the light that the east coast surfers are well more adaptable in all surf conditions.....and look what Wes ,Kelley,CJ etc did in the contests,,,,,,,,Peter
YES!! Thanks Peter
Sending some love from similar conditions in South Texas. Great stuff, keep it coming man!
What dedication and love for the sport. Well done sir!
growing up on Indian rocks beach in Florida surfing gulf coast low pressure systems and winter wind chop has made me appreciate all novelty waves. Anything you can get you make due and most importantly "have fun"
🤙🤙
Yes! All about having fun
I love how you give the east coast some credit and take pride In it I surf on LBI
my best surf video , reminded me of my roots as a kid , the spirit of surfing, thank you :) :) :-)
Love the quiver....planks, logs, sponges, retro....all too much fun! I'm from PA. but learned to surf late at 35 in Ormond beach FLA.....the home of 1/2 hour swells!! HAve fun G.
Ben, thank you for allowing us to enjoy your world. Keep the passion, keep the vision and live the dream. NUB NATION FOR THE WIN!
Dude! You are insane! All I'm seeing is rocks and more rocks.
I love your enthusiam, you are making the most of the waves you have. Ride on bro !
You are getting really good with the production side young man. Keep it up and thanks for the content!
