Hey brother, I celebrated 5 years sober last week and you're a huge part of my recovery story. Don't ever doubt yourself for a minute. I can speak for the Gravy Navy and say that you take care of your side of the street and we'll be here for you when you're ready. All the love, Legend. 🤙🏻🌊🍍
You just do you Ben. As we get older, priorities change as do attitudes. As long as you are stoked, most of us are too. I was in the 17000 group of subscribers, so I have been with you a long time. And even though I don't get to watch as much, I still enjoy your enthusiasm and realism. I hope you find your center for life and I hope to see you achieve it. Thanks for all you have helped me with my life issues. 🍍😁🤙😎
Ben, you owe no one an apology or an explanation. You're the man. I have no idea how you do all this at the pace you do it. Slow down if you need to and fuck the haters. Your true fans will be with you always. Thank you for all you do. You saved my life and many others with your positivity and message of clean living. Much LOVE.
Ben I was 58 last week and you always keep me stoked your the inspiration that made me start my own channel and to surf with you in Bristol was the best day ever 🎉
Thanks for being honest Ben and for sharing your heart. Sounds like you've been through some tough stuff especially last year. Praying you find some healing in your heart. I went through some tough times 2 years ago with anxiety. I ended up taking time off and it was so good for my soul. Jesus has also been the one that I can hang on to and talk to in those times, he is the only one who knows us, like really knows us. He has brought so much eternal stoke into my life, i can't even put words to it and how good he is. Much love from an Aussie brother 🤙🏼
Sometimes I save a couple of your videos up so i can watch multiples. I get caught up in work/life. Take some time if you need to. Im grateful for you and all your content. You always inspire me. Thanks for all you do.
Hi Ben, regards recovering from serious injury, I just wanted to say I’m with you and fully appreciate the impact. I’m 51 and just like you my happy place is the ocean. I first stood on a surfboard when I was 16, and instantly fell in love with the sport. In Jan 13th of this year I snapped my Achilles. The recovery is loooongggg and I’ve had my ups and downs. I love the way you went full steam into your recovery and following your ‘bicep all clear’ it has helped me realise I can do this. Keep up the good work. My claim: it’s always more fun than it looks.
We watch because you are real Ben. You just be you. A huge turning point in life is learning how to be a thoughtful, caring person that knows how to shrug off detractors. Maybe we'll see you out in north San Diego county! Stay Stoked!
Bro, F#$king no worries, you keep doing what you do, that’s why I’ve been watching you! I’m not even thinking about anything in my business or outside life when watching your videos and I can laugh with you and feel the love and pain we all go through. Being a frothy surfer for 45 years and my fair share of injuries just surfing and have always been just as frothing about the repair phase & learning about your body and the isolation PT…it’s intense and you don’t need to worry about the donkeys who expect more from you, they’ll always be donkey’s. For the dream, cheers to life! 👍🙏🏼💪🏻
Ben, you once said you will probably do this until your 40. That will make me 72, keep the show rolling I need the surf stoke. Your content has diversified, including more of your crew and real life situations. That's a good thing, oh yeah and by the way, more of your music please I enjoy it.
... Hey @bengravy , the fact u felt you had to explain stuff to crew is a bit sad tbh ... I think many of us here myself included are just very grateful for the stoke you bring that helped us get back into the water more often , nobody being hard on you deserves any attention mate 🇦🇺🙏🌊
Ben dare i say you always give us stoke. Im grateful for your videos. Please take care of you and your family first. I just got out of the water and i tuned in. Stay healthy please. Charging at 51 still.
You do you... We love it... I love it.... When you're an east coaster, it is harder to be a surfer. You make it look easy, though... And you actually made it happen.. Don't listen to the haters.... Keep doing it the way you want. Let the Magic happen....
10 years is a long grind in any "career" and going through your 30's is a major transitional period. You start to feel different and start to see things in different ways and priorities shift. So don't feel bad. Do what you do on your terms and be genuine because you can only fake it for so long before it becomes apparent that your heart isn't in it. Appreciate any content you share..
Ben for the sake of your sanity you need to ignore the negative comments. Yes you have a legitimate rebuttal to make, but it's just not worth the energy. Stay focused on your amazing wife and family, and your pursuit of surfing ever country in the world. LETS GO ! ! !
Happiness comes from the inside Ben, it doesn't matter how much content you put out there, most of us will wait, watch and support you. Stay strong and keep true to yourself. That is what keeps me coming back to your vlogs 🤙
Hey Ben, I love your videos!! I was just telling my dad this morning, after are surf, that you are my favorite UA-camr! And the reason for that is because you are real on UA-cam. You share so much stoke!!! Also when you come out to Cali I would love to be able to surf north county San Diego with you!!! Thanks man!
Yo Ben, let the haters hate you're content is entertaining. You did not explain anything just keep doing what you've been doing and we keep watching the haters Need help have empathy on them. But don't give him space in your head.
Ben sending love from Northern California, love the content and honestly you don’t owe anyone a explanation life is life and things come up and for the haters let them hate and be unstoked folks, keep doing what your doing and the more your true to yourself and true to your channel the more people will see the realness coming from you, things happen people get injured at the end of the day we are humans not robots. Keep up the awesome job you do despite the life challenges you keep the stoke in your your heart and in your life that’s more important for yourself and your fans and if folks don’t like that then they are your fans for the wrong reasons. Keep it stoking!!!
Hey Ben, the ending of this video really hit, and wanted to say; I met you at the Belmar Pro a few years ago and you were the most down to Earth, friendly person. Remember that every other full-time "regular" job you get PTO, and sick days, and grieving days, whatever it is, you get time off. No need to feel bad, we all just want the best for you, take your time, regain that mental, feel good, and stay stoked 🤙🏻
Just know that all your truly awesome and wonderful subscribers and fans are here for you and we all have your back. You have nothing to apologize for. Just keep being you.
Don’t feel bad or make excuses, Ben. Yes, some viewer metrics are based solely on the surf content, but there’s more to your blogs that make them unique and special. We enjoy the travel experiences with Jordan (England & Italy), the interaction with your family, and the everyday work of your enterprises (the warehouse, the merch line, the appearances). As a “mature” surfer, age and body changes will always happen. Injury will be a more frequent occurrence. But … that has been interesting for you to share, too. I’ve been through injuries, surgeries, and recovery as well as many other viewers. Seeing your wife care for you, finding new love with a pet (I now have 4 cats after my surgeries.), and securing new opportunities is why we watch. The bros wanting only waves are not the only people here. Best wishes!
You're a Good Man Mr. Geoff. You're super smart to see and work on your future, like buying a building to create a shop AND, partnering in a sock company. Do you realize the Legacy you're creating for Surfers in New Jersey? The Groms and their families absolutely love you ❣️ I'm stoked that you've surfed my Home Break in California. You be you and spend time with your family. Maybe have a kid with your beautiful wife? Anywho, God Bless you and your family. For the Dream ❣️🏄🌴🍍🙏💙
Hey Ben, just wanna say love your content my daughter and I watch every episode. She loves watching your videos and your amount of stoke you bring to life in general. Because of you my daughter who is 8, wanted to learn to surf this year, she is so happy out in the water and the sand, and it’s really an eye opening experience for me to be out there sharing this with her. Just wanna say thanks my man for everything you bring into this crazy world. ( the Wisconsin groms)
"Luke" (Ben) all you have to do is (continue to) "use the force" 🙅♂️ and every bit of everything works out. Know this, you do! Thank you for the last seven minutes of this video; in a single word, it is EPIC! So remember: your only "job" is to keep going within, and that voice will continue to guide you in this beautiful dream--and thank you for having so many of us along for the ride; it is pure joy!Yeeewwwwww!🤩🏄🏼♂️🤙🏽🙏🏽🤗❤️
@@BenGravyyMalibu is such a joke man ! There must be 200 dudes out and half of them are Kooks who transplanted. I don't get it because a few miles north is Leo Carrillo and County Line, both beach breaks with wicked rights and a fraction of the crowd.
Respect man, thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your channel and you as a person, what you are doing. You are a great guy, surfer, human being. Everyone needs a break, health and happiness ❤
dude you have to wait until your 40 to start with the ' this won't last forever' mantra. Trust me if you think your getting older and the end is near at 30 something, wait until you hit 40 and watch your life go on fast forward unitl your 60 and then your like wtf. where did it go??? Keep shredding.... you the man.
The best part of your show is when you break it down and keep it real. I’d consider adding more of that, especially in regards to emotional health and the journey we all go through, kind of like Smivvy from AIN’T THAT SWELL podcast often talks about tackling his emotions through breath work, meditation and such, which can play a positive role for us all-food for thought. Thank you.
Speaking about injury and recovery, I had 6 surgeries (hip replacement, infection, temporary hip, infection, temporary removal, infection, new hip). Dr said I may never surf again due to how much bone they removed. The day the Dr said that I was crushed. It was 3 years last May, just now able to rip again, and headed to Mexico in 5 days. Things can always be worse, things can always be better, just need to focus on ones own better.
I thought that music video was a great vid for the week. Your channel is brilliant, try not to worry about the negative comments. I know I’ve been watching for a fair time as I think I’ve now been through three different intros. All the way Ben Gravy. Also when are ya coming to the Gold Coast?
You should be so proud of yourself from where you have come to where you are know. ❤you are an inspiration love jordan and Dennis keep up the fantastic work 👏 👍 😊
was at a wedding in cape may over the weekend and surfed avalon sat with a small city out in the lineup, roughhh down there.. ill stick to my lowkey deal/loch arbor breaks🤣🤣(honestly not that lowkey anymore lol)
Love everything you do. You're a positive young man sharing your love. Your music is great too. 💦💙 Can't wait to get my new shirt. Just got notice being shipped beginning of October
I just got out of the hospital after having a major heart attack (legit died for like 4 or 5 minutes sept 9th). Talk about waking up to the fact that one day it’s going to be over. Glad God is giving me a 2nd chance, can’t wait until I’m well enough to get back out there on some waves, I was just starting to find my stride 🤙.
Hey brother, I celebrated 5 years sober last week and you're a huge part of my recovery story. Don't ever doubt yourself for a minute. I can speak for the Gravy Navy and say that you take care of your side of the street and we'll be here for you when you're ready. All the love, Legend. 🤙🏻🌊🍍

Ben and Jordan, the family and the whole cast of characters! That’s why we love your show! Wax it up Sasquatch! 🤙🏄♂️😎
It was the fact that Will didn’t have to do the ding repair that brought the gift stoke to the next level. Gotta remember this technique
Never let them know your next move 😂
`Mahalo for the videos Ben, we are here for your journey. As long as you are happy & stoked! Aloha Ben.
Squatch is the main man, keeping his beach clean and gliding down the rights, the real ledge
