Taking On 15ft Seas in Wild Alaska

Ben Gravy Coffee! www.shopbengra...
So far the normal Alaskan ocean surf forecast has been pretty quiet, until today. After a pretty bumpy journey we found ourselves in a Fjord & starting hearing the seas climbing quick. 9 foot seas, 11 foot seas & eventually we heard the claim 15 foot seas over the weather radio. I was absolutely stoking, but really didn't know what to expect. After some searching we pulled up to some pretty awesome head high right hand peelers. We got into some trouble, but everyone ended up alright & we ended up scoring the best ocean waves of the trip so far! FOR THE DREAM! - Ben

Laying in my warm comfortable bed in the comfort of my home here in south Orange County watching this vlog was amazing to say least. Stoke, beauty, stress, sickness, more stoke. The ultimate journey. This is called living. This video just inspired so many people Ben. I can’t thank you enough. Your the true meaning of the human spirit. Walking on a dream ! Alby,

[@BenGravyy]

Man what an honor to read this comment! Thank you so much

[@DJRYATT]

After 10 years out the blue juice watching Ben has given me the urge to go back at 41. Love these videos, excitement, adventure and surf, thank you Ben keep up the fantastic work 😎👊

[@sorinholland4]

Same! I'm now 44 and surfing as much as I can. I've added boogie and hand plane body surfing too so I've always got something to ride! 🤙🏻🌊🍍

[@DJRYATT]

@@sorinholland4 it's the whole way of life I miss too, I wish I'd never stopped, good on you mate, hope you catch some good waves☺️👊😎

[@sayitaintsl0w]

I love Cap! Navigating those waters is no joke and he’s legit on a board. Seems like the perfect man to share the dream with. Nothing worse than sea sickness..way to rally guys.

[@DanielLane]

This trip with Blair and co has been the best in such a long time. All about the journey boys!

[@Cookerab]

Ben and Blair seem like the two nicest dudes in the youtube surf / skim world. Good vibes. I imagine not a lot of people ever shredded that break either. Nice.

[@slimsqde7397]

fs, even though they are both like pro surfers they are just some regular humble dudes who like catching waves

[@sayitaintsl0w]

Agree..they truly appreciate what they have and with zero ego.

[@flintmcmanly]

So much stoke for the experience. I admire your ability to keep up the enthusiasm and appreciation for the experience despite glacial slush and snow.

Dude, I think this is one of the best videos you’ve ever produced. Breathtaking shots. Great editing. Inherent drama. Some fantastic waves. I so appreciate the work and the fortitude that goes into getting yourselves to these far flung places, collecting all that footage and piecing it into these videos that we can so thoroughly enjoy. Cheers 🤙🏼🙏💛

Daaaaannnggg Ben, looking hans swolo from all the extra paddling, the push-ups or the gym, keep it up dude. I'm getting back in shape myself, I had a slight fitness layover this past winter 2022.... As always, thanks for the inspiration!!!!! The NUB Nation gets to live and enjoy the dream because you share the dream...

[@andhenevercameback7117]

damn dude this Alaska series is unreal

[@robbieevans6536]

Thanks for taking the punishment and entertaining us !

[@MaiTravelSite]

Hey Ben, here's a little trick that might help you next time you get sea sick. While on the boat or whatever look at the horizon; it's the only thing that will not be moving while you and your nearby surroundings are , and will remain in it's real position. Everything else is not moving in relation to you but is in reality, so the brain gets confused. It's how I like to explain it and definitely works. Next option is to go for a swim, which you did :). Awesome trip man, think about watching these memories in the future!

[@ScoutSnow-kr9tw]

Dude come on up to Barrow for the fall storms. Biggest northernmost waves in the US. Arctic Ocean slabs with polar bears on the beach. I’ve never seen anybody else out except this one French kiter who was passing through and ripping. Seriously look at a map.

[@FrankTankFlinns]

Surf'd back in 90s Area of Sitka, for a few weeks was Insane, Everything thing in Alaska is Big..member being in some areas , looking off boat seeing lights way up in the mountains, saying to myself that must be one badass mo fo living up there.

Oh man, the Milo! Please tell Mike and co. I say hi! One of the most memorable experiences of my life. Hope you guys score!

[@apiadventures3213]

Block one ear, go to the back of the boat when feeling sea sick. It helped get me out of a dark place on one gnarly voyage.

[@zak-a-roo264]

You should get your sea legs just about the time you get off the boat, lol!

[@kenduncan3231]

Funny… so true about the cold water to get out of sea sickness. Also works with severe I.B.S.. would jump into my pool at 40’s water to get out of the pain and cramps, works most often then not. Seeing Ben do that brought back memories. Just don’t over eat and love cold salt water. 🥳😂🎉

[@MrRobertFarr]

The cure for sea sickness is to keep your belly full. Food, in a full stomach, does not move around. Dry bread, is a good stomach filler and carrying a little extra weight from those extra calories might keep out the cold, in the short term ! But, of course put, pressure on the joints in anyone that moves around a lot .

[@kevinhalloran1377]

Great stuff,love the trip..👍😎❄🎶

[@JohnnygSawyer]

Ben, what a crazy epic trip ! I'm waiting for an Orca to show up when you guys are out in the water. Orcas love to play 🦆 Ben, I saw the online article in Brides magazine with you and JVerni. Your tuxedo was super dope and, Jordan looked like a princess. You're a blessed man. Say hello to my fellow Southern Californian, Blair Conklin 🏄 Raw Beefs TV is a fantastic channel. Probably the best coverage of the Wedge. You remember the Wedge don't you? You gotta come back in the fall. #ForTheDream

Awesome vlog bro!!!

[@kirktaylor4954]

Fun stuff guys. Little bit like Naked and Afraid just frozen surf adventure style. Went up for help-ski a few years back and stopped at the tidal bore off Seward highway where you were first. Way to keep the dream and believe vibe alive - sweet testimony to manifesting and as laird says life as your own art form. I chipped in for that beauty and effort of going boldly and with courage and humor. Nicely played sir!

[@DGROM]

Sickness!!!

[@jameshodge4602]

Great vlog!! So interesting to watch! It just looks soooo cold but you guys dealing with it like true legends!! Great bit of surfing on the right wedge, that looked ace! Take care see you on next vlog 🤙🤙 for the dream !! 😊
