Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- It's not often you experience the "day of the decade" surf at any spot, let alone the world renown big wave novelty of La Jolla Cove in San Diego. Obviously this wave isn't the craziest thing ever, but it is cool to hear that it hasn't broken since Big Wednesday 2014 or something...? haha hope everyone is enjoying the California VLOGS, believe it or not there's still much more to come! Thanks for the stoke! - Ben

Me and my friends from Kansas are signed up for your surf school at Big Rock next year. We are all super stoked. You and Zeke are proof that La Jolla waves are for everyone.
Hahaha
the rock sure Ain't for everyone
@@zachnewsom4071ignorance! I learned to surf at Big Rock. Big west swell, low tide. That's where my surf school took us! It was a blast. Locals were sweethearts! The waves were playful

Gotta love Zeke! Legend
Yeeew
Bens hair looks like Bill murray's from the movie King Pin lol The older generation will know what I'm talking about. 10:00
Yeah, and the crowd's reaction to them rolling down to the cove was like Munson's entry to that movie. The only thing missing was someone giving Ben their slice of pizza.
We don’t have a cow!
Ah man, that’s harsh. He’s got more hair than that! Luckily he’s a pretty good looking dude so he can always buzz it if it creeps back too far.
Ben murray
And his hair just subtly keeps getting crazier every scene through out the movie.
Big wave Dave is a legend that died on his board in the Humboldt bay harbor entrance. There’s a memorial for him at the eureka jetty spot.
Love it. Zeke killing it, Ben just dropping in on locals lol and Skip absolutely shredding!!!
You guys are killin' it! Ignore the noise, Ben and Zeke collabs got me stoked🤙
Man thanks for the inside look I couldn't get enough seeing what the cove looks like with the epic waves! I Don't have to imagine any more thanks
I was there Dood watching you guys from the cliffs. Epic!!!!!
It's always nice to see the cove breaking. I remember back in 1985 I saw it breaking six times overhead! I headed down there planning to paddle out until I looked at it and then turned around and went back to get my camera. Sadly, I don't know what I ever did with those shots...
Good memories what about now 😮
I was just telling my wife about that swell. When people say this was a once in a lifetime swell I say not in my lifetime - I have seen a few. But then again I remember when the HB pier was made of wood, Main St was one way & The Golden Bear still had bands playing. I bet The Frog House in Newport Beach probably still has the picture of a wave breaking OVER the HB pier and taking out The End Cafe. circa 1985
@@William-Bill-Munny yes if your 50 to 70 yrs old you know we've seen bigger and better 70s and 80s shit no one filmed.🦆🌊💜💯🤙
Wow what epic surf in La Jolla here!! Never seen it this big!! You made it!! Looked good out there!!
wow! This might the earliest I've ever been to the comments. I dont know what to say. Thanks for regularly producing some of the best surf content out there.
The Dom Toretto quote tho 😂 “you almost had me?”
I love it Ben! Rock and Rolling Da Dream! Aloha ke akua!
Best surf show out right now,, keep the dream alive Ben!!
Good Job Ben.. love it when you connect! Y'all got schooled by Skip.. cool story. Killer footage. The force is with you.
The most Ben gravy vlog. Loved it.
Wave I'll never forget .... going right inside Makaha, throwing a frontside cutback , banking off the back wash wave and coming back out riding the backwash wave back out over inside reef! MK ! In and out! 1970s!
The result of not rolling out of bed until 9am😂😂 Ok it's going off, huge...."hey lets go surf crap backwash waves" 😂😅😂😅 Nice afternoon session though.
New intro is DOPE!!
That fast and furious quote was hilarious
Loved that calypso music in some of the surf scenes.
The guy on the yellow board can really surf. Still remember my first 15 ft wave dropping in at Sunset. 1968 on my Skip Frye gun.
I've seen the cove twice this size somewhere between 2007-2010.
Oh Yeah!!! Sending it for the dream!!!! Go Ben!!
O hi 0:30
NICCCCCCCCCCCEEEEE YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!

Zeke - Absolute Legend 🤙🏼🦘
05:52 +1 for the original #fastandfurious reference 🤘🤘🤘
We came, we saw,we kicked ass 🦆🌊🤙💯💜
It looks like a mini Nazare out there... So funny how Ben blew by that dude on the drop in on that way too tiny shortboard for those super big waves but at least he was trying!!
NICCCCCCCCCCCEEEEE YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!
✌️ 😎 ✌️

Cool shot of Black's north parking area and gliderport goat trail at the bottom @16:39
Love the colabs with Zeke. Always fun
Ben Gravy is the Old Schoool Definition of a HAM....Look at me...Look at me..Enough alreadt
😈😈😈 the stoke session 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
EPIC rides , Ben!!!
First, stoked that you were there Ben. My apologies for not keeping in touch recently
Second, Zeke. All of your elders are happy for your success. But money is not going to buy you a spot in the lineup and you know that you've been told. Now continue down that road of success with a better attitude.
Aloha nui
Gladiators and spectators at the cove!🤙🍍😎
Wow you surfed the cove! So awesome!
Gnarly swell lines and skip charged it the hardest than the rest. It was cleaner in the 90’s as it was shown in a video called Gravity Suck. Super sick flick overall.
Don't know about those dropins, Ben...but I've surfed LJ as a visitor and you definitely need to take your waves assertively or you'll just be watching the kelp patches.
JOB has the psych counter. Zeke needs the Oh Mylanta counter!
Best quality backwash sidebar novelty wave I've seen in S.D. is in my local zone in C-bad. Only scored it once though. Backwash that has the potential to offer mini right barrels and diagonals that turn even cross-shore, so you can even ride parallel to the beach not just out-to-sea! 💪💯
So a guy borrows a board he's never ridden & paddles out in historic breaks and still the trolls swarm like fleas? LOL! Ben charges a gun hitting the lip - epic! "Cast off the scoffers"!
Dreamers in the house!🍍😎
Legendary 🤙
Insane waves!!! This doesn't happen often but when it does.... look out 👀
what up gravy snakin' all the waves???
❤ Gravy with my Zeke
Surprised zeke let you post this, since he is the only one allowed to film and post waves over there
Fuck yeah Ben! Another Epic Vid bro! That day was iconic, I wish we could relive it over & over again! Yewwww
Jimmy Wilson raw unedited sessions > Zeke the geeks vlogs
I was hoping for a Marine St/Horseshoe/Rockpiles snipet by the way last vlog ended. Even tho this was way more EPIC 🤙
18:00 found a couple photos i took of it breaking back in Jan 2017. Maybe 10-15 guys out. That swell was massive, came out of nowhere and caught a lot of people off guard
Even the seals were scared that day
Still charging tho
Big closeouts bro!
The snow waves are firing right now in Idaho!
Two kooks…. Hahaha , that wave looked fun as hell.
Call that place the snow plow. Because of the wall shape and the effect it has on the back washer
Big, cold, and messy.
What's so good about it?
Big Wednesday as referred to, was in 2007.
Let's GO!!!
8:37 is the wall barrel of the century
Does Zeke have a sponsorship with Mylanta???
what about the sharkarooni's ?
San Diego doesn't rain it floods!
Surfed it giant swell of1983 only three of us out.
Ben, it's a repost of a poem I created (in part with ChatGPT) a while back.
I posted it already over on Jamie's blog.
"Pele - The Fiery Bitch"
In the heart of Hawaii, where the mountains kiss the sky.
Lives a goddess named Pele, with a fiery eye.
She wanted love and respect, from her people, so true,
But when they didn't listen, her anger grew.
Pele, the goddess of fire, fierce and bright,
With her heart ablaze, and her temper's might,
Oh, Pele, oh, Pele, calm your fiery soul,
Let's find a way to make your spirit whole.
She danced upon the molten earth, a fury in her heart,
The people tried to please her, but it tore them apart,
The flames of her desires, burned hot and wild,
They longed for the day when she'd again be mild.
They sought a wise kahuna, to heal her wounded soul,
With words and sacred rituals, they tried to make her whole,
But Pele's temper raged, like the fiery lava's flow,
They wondered if a psychologist might know.
Oh, Pele, the goddess, with your fiery might,
In the depths of your anger, we see your inner fight,
Perhaps some gentle exercise could ease your soul's unrest,
To cool the flames of your fury, to bring you peace and rest.
The people prayed for Pele, in their own special way,
But she didn't appreciate that middle finger, so she decided to linger.
Yes, that's right, she decided to linger...

NSII Ben - you got 7 days left starting tomorrow. Get 'er done.
SMOKINNN
I tuned in for some surf…only took 15min to see some garbage…I’m going to the backyard yoga girl
I don't know why all the hype, the waves were mushy close outs, there are a lot of better waves in N. County at all the reefs that were going off, this swell will go down in history as some of the biggest waves we've had in my life time I think the waves that hit New Jersey looked a little scarier then here, Thanks Ben for all your stoke.
Wow dumpin. Zeek surfing uploads are always my fav
YeeW.. 15.05 that's my drone footage..
Ya, la Jolla funkyzeit
Ben “click bait” Gravy
That novelty wave should be called “Gutterballs”
Haha that’s awesome
Big ol mush burgers at the Cove.
Super power 😮 yeww
Skip is a legend!!!
Zeke, Skip and the boys are right about the last time LJ Cove. Takes a big West swell and every time to whole town including the News shows up. SD will always be a surf city
Gravy and Zeke in a mission
2 dudes
Oh Yea, Bitchin
Go to the deli in the wetsuit
Order the Gravy Burger
Rock n Roll riff
These dudes
Yea they Rip
Watch out Surfers
Here they come
Gravy Express
I think the cove broke last year january. But yeah since then, probably 2014
Zeke seems pretty toxic at this point. Dropping in on people and then starting fights with them. Calling people out for filming at “his spot” love the channel but hate when zeke shows up on here. He just seems like the exact opposite of a good role model for your audience.
Agreed
So sollay, I envision walrus piss as the vibe......
It was in 94/95 winter when it was cleaner and bigger
