Yo Ben, great trip so far! I'm from Florida and moved out to North California a year ago. Stoked to see you enjoying this magical place. Keep spreading the love! Be safe!
That GRAVY boat was so sending the dream! Cool to see Mavericks even if it was cloudy. Glad you didn't surf it though, that's soooo dangerous. I'm also glad you got to rest up a bit. Way to get barreled by the Chandelier Tree FTW!!! That Fortuna joke cracked me up! :)
You guys are right where I grew up and one of my favorite breaks is in moonstone, right before Trinidad called camel rock. Check it out for sure but all depends on the swell!
Keep up the love and positivity dude! Your stoke is inspirational! Love that you’re finding the beauty in those nugs and views too brotha! Makes getting out there the joyous time it’s supposed to be. Hope to see you in South Carolina some time soon!
Much rather see you in the trees then out at Mavericks. That's one segment of surfing that I never understood, deadly big wave surfing. Rippable chest to overhead is where it's at!
its for the adrenaline rush. I am not even a good surfer but I dream about surfing these huge places because I love having adrenaline rushes, if I was ever faced with surfing a big wave spot though I would probably chicken out.
That's one of the best road trips you can take! I claim best forest ever! When you get up the coast to Oregon, check out Florence. It's a cool little artists town where my family spent a lot of time back when I was a kid. There is a cool novelty off of the inside of the south jetty, inside of the Oregon Dunes State Park. The other side of the jetty is a mans wave when it's big, it holds some size. The locals seemed cool when I surfed it. I'm sure that they love it now that I've broadcasted their spot on UA-cam... LOL It's all for the DREAM! Send it boys!
That drive is one of the all time 5 best. I made it at least 25 times when I lived in Brookings, OR. Hopefully you will catch some waves at the jetty (Chetco Rivermouth), and meet the locals. Also, the rock at the CA/Or State line is known to fire on this exact swell.
If you make it as far north as Seattle we have novelty ferry waves in Elliot Bay. Tide dependent but fun. Could get a shot with Space Needle in the back ground.
The Redwoods are NOT overrated! If you have a chance, check out Fern Canyon at the south end of the National Park, it’s an epic drive, there’s a beach break and the canyon is other-worldly. Stoked!
Cool Mavericks stop. Didn't seem to be giant (meaning like 30 ft). Those looked at least 15 ft or so. Never seen the redwood forest before. Biggest trees ive ever seen. Rest up, get healthy, and well see you chargers tomorrow! Good footage.
the dream!!! do you have any kinda "follow Ben" schedule? I'd assume not, but i thought i'd ask anyway. gonna be in oregon next week and gosh it looks like maybe we'd cross paths. it's gonna be stormy but some good conditions later in the week maybe :)
Just watch for ticks!! They are little pricks that hang on bushes, trees and you know what they are on EVERYTHING in the wild So always check yourself! Love the vid btw just want you guys to stay safe
Can't wait to her what Jordan says about the Fortuna jokes but she is one of the coolest girlfriend's out there and when it comes to high school boys jokes and that kind of stuff she's cool. JP's a legend! Gotta have fun and go balls out on the road trip. Ben, find a chiropractor in one of those towns your in, look it up on yelp and see what's up and get your body worked on. It's a must for you or your going to be hurting the rest of the trip. NNFTW!
Just gotta say Yeuwwwwww! Consistently epic content even without surf footage. Also, you gotta see Dr "Scotty Dog" Sawyer in Santa Cruz before you leave. He is awesome chiro with energy similar to you Ben. Trust me, he will turn your light on bro!
went out there in total calm dead flat by boat once. that reef gave me the creeps. like walking on somebody's grave, ghost story as a kid, creeps. heavy.
Mavericks, damn, that place is no fucking joke. Was up there on that cliff with my bro and it was easy like a three story building in the middle of the freaking ocean coming right at u. Dudes charging that are insane!!!
If you are thinking of venturing a cross on the coho to the great white north I could hook you up with a basement to sleep to continue your novelty hunt in Canada :)
Was just kinding dude i grew up with randy townsend surfing since i was lil grom i didnt mean anything by it i say things just messing around im stoked for you and your surfing has got way better keep it up
Cool to see Mavs from another perspective .. "From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters .This land is made for Ben Gravy "!! Ha !!! See what I did there ? You can use that if ya want ... HehHeh !!
what on a small 12-16 foot day, I don't underestimate the waves I just happened to grow up with the NYer who killed it at Mulaghmore and had an XXL entry off of it. I feel like its more of a psych out rather then super intense on a reasonable sized day. I am not saying id go out on a 30-40 foot day but id ride a smaller day.
Ahhh you’re heading my way now .. there are a lot of “secret spots” along 1 .. in Salt Creek past Jenner .. a little past Stump Beach the mile marker is 12-23 I think ... that’s a good one 🤙🏼 so many more wish I was on this trip SO FUN! Stay Stoked !
Eureka Jetty, Stinkys. Camel rock is on the same road as Moonstone beach. Instead of turning left after turning left in the exit. Turn right go up the hill. Missing Camel Rock is a Mistake Brother!!
i spent weeks traveling Highway 1 from Washington to Santa Cruz, and surfed so many epic spots. Best scenery and waves in the US! You have an epic swell right now, I just messaged Ben two of the best spots on that highway my Instagram is mostly that one trip off Highway 1 @awc737
I liked that killer drone shot high up in the trees. Good thing JP managed to retrieve it. Sensei Steve is a Master Legend.
You're epic!!
This road trip is for the Dream! I'm in Jersey, but I'm also in-for-tuna!
haha!
Safe Travels the rest of the way! Love waking up and keeping up with the journey Ben! San Diego is waiting for you whenever you're ready! HEAVY YEAR!
STOKED!

Stoking, thank you!!
Much rather see you in the trees then out at Mavericks. That's one segment of surfing that I never understood, deadly big wave surfing. Rippable chest to overhead is where it's at!
Adrenaline rush is what it’s ab I guess. Also to be fair, more people have died surfing 5-15 ft surf than 30-60 ft surf
I respect big wave surfers a lot, but I'm just not up to par for that quite yet!
its for the adrenaline rush. I am not even a good surfer but I dream about surfing these huge places because I love having adrenaline rushes, if I was ever faced with surfing a big wave spot though I would probably chicken out.

THANKS DUDE!!
This has been an epic trip Ben! So stoked for you.
thank you!!
Ben and JP, thanks for making the trip north and getting the shot from Mavericks!! Very Cool!
stoked!!
used to watch that little harbor wave walking out to mavs every sunday!
there's also a neat little jetty wave right next to the highway.
Cool!!
That drive is one of the all time 5 best. I made it at least 25 times when I lived in Brookings, OR. Hopefully you will catch some waves at the jetty (Chetco Rivermouth), and meet the locals. Also, the rock at the CA/Or State line is known to fire on this exact swell.
Awesome thans!
You will love Oregon brother!
stoking!!
Hey it's only a rental....no problem! 😉 Got to love those Redwoods!
:) !
If you make it as far north as Seattle we have novelty ferry waves in Elliot Bay. Tide dependent but fun. Could get a shot with Space Needle in the back ground.
EPIC!!!
Ben Gravy
The January 24-26 late afternoon is the best bet with tide height less than 3’. Happy to show it to you if the timing works out.
That drone shot through the 🌲🌲 was sci-fi! Rest up boys. A lot more living to do!
YES! Thanks dude!
The Redwoods are NOT overrated! If you have a chance, check out Fern Canyon at the south end of the National Park, it’s an epic drive, there’s a beach break and the canyon is other-worldly. Stoked!
so stoked!

Thank you!!
I could have watched 1/2 hour of the mavericks footage! Seriously! So well put together.
:)
the dream!!! do you have any kinda "follow Ben" schedule? I'd assume not, but i thought i'd ask anyway. gonna be in oregon next week and gosh it looks like maybe we'd cross paths. it's gonna be stormy but some good conditions later in the week maybe :)
Enjoy!! I'll be back in NJ by next week!
Ben! PS - Find a Nor Cal Hotsprings to take a soak! You will not regret it! And it will heal you up asap!
oh epic!!
Ben, was that Jeff Clark you were with at Mav's? Or was that Sensei?
Clarky!

Why not paddle out, its not too heavy at 16 feet, you have def surfed bigger hurricane swells, Thursday is supposed to be insane.
Planning on surfing it next year
what on a small 12-16 foot day, I don't underestimate the waves I just happened to grow up with the NYer who killed it at Mulaghmore and had an XXL entry off of it. I feel like its more of a psych out rather then super intense on a reasonable sized day. I am not saying id go out on a 30-40 foot day but id ride a smaller day.
this whole trip has been so heavy
