Chasing the Impossible Tanker Surfing Score

Tanker surfing in Philadelphia has never been an easy egg for us to crack. Even tho we get to lament over the awesome waves that the Surfin Moose got to catch a few years ago, we never really got Will on the wave we thought we would. It doesn't matter tho, because we're not giving up for the dream!

R Mack for the WIN! The Cat is back.

Great to see Ryan on the job again. You're right, most of the worst things that have happened to me were self-inflicted. To quote Pogo, "We have met the enemy, and he is us."

[@davidgriffith84]

Ben, great stuff here seeing you and the boys at a special spot known to me as Unicorns- next to Mermaids. It’s a strange and goofy place that requires a lot of patience and luck but if you catch the right moment it can be life changing. Also, appreciate that you’re always careful not to reveal a spot- in this case it could spook the residents. Btw, a big thank you for all your excellent work and positivity over the years, also enjoy everyone in your crew- big big shout out and congrats to your Mom and family with Sparky- You Sparky, D-Nice and all of you are welcome anytime down here at Exit 0. Cheers-

You guys are awesome! Ryan - For the Dream!

[@JustinTaylor-hv5kp]

Yeah man I was in the Coast guard in the Northeast. Philly, New Jersey and Baltimore. Y'all have no idea how much water those ships are pushing under the surface. Come on Ben go to that Tarnikan River in Alaska, make it a contest see if you ride that way farther than Jamie! Novelty!!

[@BigCityCBGs]

Is that Ryan Mack?

[@SeanDarney]

Homies were bringing the stoke

[@majorscreative]

Ooh a Ry Mack Attack

[@petegibson863]

My Dad used to have a saying , " If it is to be , it is up to me ! " Nobody else can do it for you , as Ben only knows too well .Strength of character springs to mind .

[@aaronbaltusis6357]

Glad you are doing good on your recovery! Thanks for the stoke!

[@thedigitalnomad7270]

You're a beast ben! Can't wait for the India videos and hurricane hype season 🤙

[@justinhillier3684]

Love the ancient life jackets that looks like it got pulled out of old boat box that hasn't been used in decades

[@Fishingandforaging]

Classic gravy! 🙂

[@dannyrogers5960]

Lets go Gravy!!

[@Garlicky-831]

Whether you scored or not, I could see the passion and determination in Wills face 🙏🫡 keep tanker surfing dream alive. Till the next time Ben 💣

[@672egalaxie6]

Fun Day!! Good to see Ryan back on the vlog! NNFTD!!

[@josephhawthorne4249]

Did you ask the locals to use that ramp?? LOL! I live around the corner. Keep the vlogs coming!🏄 Love the coverage of the AC going down. Never see that on the Kardashians.

[@cjtannerza]

At the entrance to the Houston ship canal there is a very good wake wave that breaks on the Eastern side. I first observed this a first trip cadet in 1990. The water sucks off the sand bank and makes this hollow bowl for a about a quarter of a mile. I remember standing on deck watching it thinking somebody should be riding that.

[@wastedyouth732]

Yewwww, I'm stoked to see what that tanker can push off on the perfect conditions. Need to get a jetskii to get on this

[@mulletoutdooradventures6286]

Bro I just celebrated 8 years of sobriety on the 18th. Since getting sober I do whatever I want. Started a small guiding thing around ac for fishing. I got a couple boats now and have gotten a small following of people for the nutty things I do on a small boat. I have worked my ass of to get what I am. Nothing was given to me. I worked for all of it. I've found a few tanker waves BTW on the Delaware. They are really fickle because the tankers usually will slow down big time after the del memorial bridge. South of that though there are multiple waves that break regularly

[@BenGravyy]

Stoked for you man! That’s amazing

[@BenGravyy]

Those waves sound good too! Haha

[@mulletoutdooradventures6286]

@BenGravyy next time I fish the river I'll try to get a video of them. The tug boats around the island off Tinicum will push thigh high waves on the east side of the island that's in front of the old Lagoon

[@mulletoutdooradventures6286]

@BenGravyy you should try around the mouth of the river. The tankers more than likely have enough speed to get a wave going

[@ianh69531]

Mack!!

[@JustinTaylor-hv5kp]

You're at the mouth of it, the Delaware side. C&D canal. Chesapeake and Delaware, try transiting that canal full of ice, and passing one of those tankers. There is no room, it was nerve-racking when I was on the helm of the ship!

[@surfnskatedude0]

Broski!!! Little Ryan Mac action!!! What we claiming!?!?!?! He back for good??!?!?!

[@beartrap7158]

Next time stuck in the sand with a 4X4 let all but 10lbs pressure from your tires and you’ll easy drive right out. Much like watching you grind it out in Joyzee then off on safari some place. Keep um coming.🙂

[@goodridevibes]

Next time the boat waves will be sick I can feel it!

[@bgcheese]

Used to go to a chiropractor all the time but they don’t really do anything. Yes they crack your spine but all that resets and doesn’t fix the problem. Best thing to do for injuries is going a physical therapist. 🤘🏼 Solid video anyway.

[@Surfdronesd]

Looking forward to the next California trip

[@kennynewell85]

5 weeks post op acl reconstruction and meniscus repair. These videos are keeping me inspired but this has definitely sucked. Thanks Ben! For the dream!

[@petegibson863]

Good to see Ryan Mack back , looking fit and lean , must have dropped 20kg's or so , well done .

[@JondySantosVlog]

Hey Ben!!! Where is D Bags???

[@slashtrio]

Dude disappeared years ago. Total mystery.

[@nathanaelkitchen813]

At first i thought Ryan was Moose, and i was like, dang he grew up fast...

It would be nice to see some short socks from glide to go with shorts. Not everyone likes long socks + shorts.

[@BenGravyy]

Ben have you guys ever been to Scudders falls on the delaware up by T-town home of the Tomato pie? At around 30,000 cfs it turns into a bomb with a tube.

He's got quite a few videos from Scudders

It’s not true You can try harder than humanly possible, and circumstances still repeatedly take you down.
