We went Surfing in North Korea!?

This has been the most amazing surf trip of my life! Visiting South Korea has been one of the most exciting countries I've been to, let alone today we're going to "surf in North Korea". Essentially after the Korean War the country was split into two, the North & the South. They divided the country at the 38th parallel & the line isn't exactly straight so some of South Korea pushes up into North Korea. Today we are exploring the waves of that area & having some fun with the idea. None of this video is to be taken seriously, we didn't actually drive from South Korea to surf in North Korea, but we did visit the DMZ & catch some waves along the way. An amazing day while on a life changing trip! Thanks for all of the stoke & support! - Ben

Ben might have to be careful saying "It's NUKING!" in North Korea, as an American.

The world is scared of their own shadow and the gravy train is shredding North Korea whattttt!!!! Epic!!!!

[@ExploringTheWestCoast]

Screw JAWs, forget Maverics, and well even Pipeline. Surfing the DMZ is absolutely the most epic surf trip imaginable The Dream is so real!! Yeeww! Ben, you are a Legend!

[@georgea7336]

We hit the 2 most epic waves in N Korea, we hit the T-6 at the wave park and the 38th-P wave at the DMZ....!🤙 Stoke on!

[@chaunceysnodgress3672]

Thank you Sam !

[@sayitaintsl0w]

Watching Ben eat packaged snacks has been extremely entertaining. Sam is the man for making this all happen. ..North Korea and Ben is still driving. Not far from the DMZ is the most heavily militarized zone in the world, including beaches. The small section in between is governed by the United Nations. Glad no one stepped on a mine surfing the 38th parallel. Sketchy AF.

[@chewy7192]

Legend of snacks!

[@jollystuff6775]

This is what I like about you content, normally we see pro or “known” surfers in perfect conditions and waves I only see once a year, and that is not your case, if there are shitty waves you try it anyway..that’s what I love to see in your content. Standard, average waves and a good surfer. Just to see you ripping this waves makes us (your audience) better surfers. ❤️

[@joshtfilms]

Damn you are spitting facts ahaha

[@dennismull147]

Hey! Ben was a," top flight" contest surfer,after high school,and trust me," Anyone who could even ," paddle- out" to my ol," stomping grounds",Ocean Beach S.F.is pretty much," Pro" and he ripped a " solid 8-10 ft.day& later at the," secret- spot" scored a massive,,front side tube" for the dream...

[@bestoftimes80s]

Thank you for sharing. I love seeing the different culture. The dream is world wide.

[@Zack_rk]

Sam is such a legend! So cool for you guys to get out there and experience that!

[@CameronDauler]

I have to say Ben, your vlog has provided such joy. As a 51 year old surfer married with 3 kids and little time for the water and travels your posts offer the best vicarious experience surfwise and general experience. Often I peruse Netflix for something to watch but you remain my heavy rotation. Hope that collarbone heals buddy. You are a legend coming from a fellow eadt coaster now living in Oregon. Pura vida!

[@BenGravyy]

Thanks so much for the encouragement !

[@palomares.webador]

Ben, Maki - THIS is THE BEST VIDEO! Ton of THANKS! You guys _must_ go _more_ international destinations! Wishing you all the best and new spots to explore. Wishing you visit Kamchatka sooner than later ;-)

Best episode in a long time!

[@mikefinn]

Headlines "American surfer Ben Gravy causes international incident while surfing in North Korea." Negotations are underway to get him out of a NK prison. Ben's problem started when his photographer, Ryan Mack, flew his drone over a North Korean military installation. Mack's status is unknown.

[@tootallnolan]

Ben and Sam, thanks SO much for this time together surfing South Korea. Can't wait to go. Aloha to the Korean surfahs.

[@TheFatblob25]

So cool to see tidbits of life in Korea! My favorite vlog in awhile...

[@treeh0us-p4d]

when I was in Korean navy, and visited DMZ museum, I always wanted to surf in North Korea after finding out those waves. So many good waves and beaches are missed due to military area :/ Great Video Ben! Big fan of yours in Korea. True legend!

[@socalfloridian1]

Dreamer, Sam is the Cosmic Nub Nation Ambassador! When living in Seoul, one of my jobs was to escort American clergy who wanted to visit the DMZ to pray for peace. Nub Nation is the Dream Nation, and the Peace Nation through 🏄‍♂️🍍❤️

[@socalfloridian1]

When leading these tours to the DMZ, we would.literally hike down into invasion tunnels discovered by the ROK Army built & dug by North Koreans. We would pray down there for peace between the two Koreas.

[@joefinley62]

Epic video!!! Thanks for all the stoke. Such an amazing video!

Hey Ben, throughly enjoyed this Vlog. It blows my mind when I see a person that has truly embraced the gifts that they are given making themselves and everyone around them better. Did I say that right? I’m proud to be able to call you my Friend. You and “Mack the Knife” are doing great things. Shit howdy, look where you are?! Tomaso 😎👍
