My First Time Surfing NAZARE (World Class Big Wave Spot)

[@bluewhitebus13]

Few things 1. Congrats on the wedding. 2. Congrats on 6 years sober (5 years here and agree- life changing). 3. Charging Nazare on a soft top- legend! Lastly, don’t sweat the ring. What made it special is that it represents the bond you now have with Jordan. In reality, it’s just a thing and can be replaced. I have multiple that I change out depending on mood. I even have a $100 Star Wars version that’s engraved with our anniversary date and “The Force is Strong With This One.” The only thing that matters is the meaning behind the ring. Keep living your best life, FOR THE DREAM!!

[@davelangersurfer]

Leaving that ring at Nazaré was a blessing just ask Garrett and Nicole!

[@user-qb6cm4xg6h]

Just sat here with a huge smile, what an experience this must have been dude!!! So incredibly stoked for you Ben!

[@Sarg3e]

Duuuuuuude at 25:40 when I heard those chords to Gutter Drunk’s Poor Me kick in I knew it was about to be a sick edit! Worthy of the throwback, that song kicks ass. So amazing you got to surf at freaking Nazare!! Really not that long ago you were hanging out in FLA with those Gutter Drunk boys. You’ve come a long way and it’s an honor to watch your journey ✌🏽❤️🌊🍍

[@Speenard]

Ah shit, thank you! I could not find the song name - so damn good.

[@killabeebantai4082]

You are a legend. Was looking for the song too

[@ctrlb4213]

Even on “small” day at this spot the amount of water moving around this spot is mind blowing.

[@AtortAerials]

F’n crazy small looks heavy as f$%k too.

[@barne3668]

ctrib your so right. that water is big, thick and nasty. i can't imagine being egulfed and swallowed by a big nazare monster

Wow I too have been watching you for Yeats now and I appreciate all of the inspiration I owe you so much good vibe for you have shared yours for so many of us older surfers who may have lost some stoke over the years it's truly amazing to see your rise in the industry for the dream one love

[@kimsvideos5270]

Hey Bennie g. I've been sober for 33yrs I get it good to see you again I've been offline for a month my house burned down I lost everything I owned and I'm trying to get my life back now having time to watch all that I subscribe to on you tube thanks for sharing this adventure I needed this yeeeeeeew!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamesliegey9621]

Congratulations on six years sober, your marriage and generally just the enormity of your success. You’ve been a huge inspiration to me, I’m working on 18 months sober. Watching you totally motivates me, I serve more and better now than I ever have before. Portugal looked amazing, I studied in Cadiz, Spain and loved it. And yes, I lost of wedding ring also in the ocean! Have Jordan put the next one on your finger, it will be just as special. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@girtisholland]

A late congrats on 18 months bud. I just hit mine too recently.

[@antonandras1451]

Ben this is the best video on KZbin I ever seen. To seen Nazare cliff from the bottom was incredible and riding Nazare on softtop what a man. Big RESPECT 🤙👏

[@jonathandeloach9021]

Been watching you for the last 2 years and what an inspiration you've been to me! Going on 3yrs sober in January and life only gets better. Felt your gratitude for sobriety in this video a lot, thank you for opening up and sharing about this I know it helps others as well as myself! Living the dream

[@gilafunk]

Maybe the most enjoyable Nazare video I've ever seen. Real, down to earth, and way, way fun. And a soft top. Thanks Ben Gravy. And congrats on 6 years. An inspiration on so many levels. 🤙

[@tonyking7563]

Such an amazing journey.. So happy for you and your new wife for sharing your joy. 67 years and about 55 years surfing what I can when I can. Never stop the dreamers! GBU!!!

[@johnbailey4628]

Thrilled for you. Congrats on the sobriety. You are truly an inspiration for anyone who has a dream.

[@joegibbs2508]

Wow, big smile on my face watching you and Jordan enjoying your lives. It's like a magical land where you forget everything! Great session Bro! Rings and THINGS you care about are no big deal to loose. Just hold on tight to Jordan!!!

[@tammienash2181]

So proud of you on your SOBRIETY!!! Keep taking it one day at a time Ben!! Call the airport (TSA) and tell them to send your ring to you!!! There should have been no reason for them to ask you to remove your wedding ring! I pray you get it back!

[@mikedimaio1237]

Dude, you surfed Nazare! shout out to Big Wave Dave and crew that made it happen, sick!

[@iangreenberg5101]

Unbelievable. That guy David really knows what he's doing. Couldn't have asked to go out with someone better. Your wife is the bomb 💣

[@davelangersurfer]

I appreciate that thank you Ian. 🙏🏽

[@midliferising]

Love you see it you crush it with Nazare!! As for the wedding ring, I lost mine in Ocean City, New Jersey while surfing right by Gillian's amusement park back in 2000. I remember how broken up that I was so I know how you feel about that. Hopefully they find it and you will be able to get it back. Your message at the end is very inspiring and amazing!! The positivity that you showed literally got me back into the water and started chasing unheard of novelty waves again. Know that you are always supported my friend as you continue your journey!!

[@lights_camera_coffee]

I lost mine in 2018 surfing in Asbury Park! It was a cheap band I got when the original didn’t fit right though, thankfully

[@thatguy1733]

I just watched this while I couldn’t sleep and Ben, I think today is the day I go sober. I drink 10 shots of whiskey a day and smoke about an ounce of Nug a month. As I lay here semi hungover, my liver hurts, my kidneys hurt, I worry that I’m on the edge of liver failure. I believe that if I don’t stop, I’ll be dead in under a year and I really want you to know that I’m appreciative of your honesty. Thanks Ben and I pray that I too can beat this demon. Cheers

[@canadianpureblood9277]

No Ben. Thank you for what you give to all of us. 🤙for the dream.

[@jaykay0401]

I’ve been subscribed to your channel since you were just a small little channel I randomly found! Dude it’s been amazing seeing your rise to success. Going from surfing small little breaks and novelty waves, to surfing some of the biggest and best waves, and working with the best surfers in the world! Super proud of you! You’re an inspiration! Surfing this spot is a major accomplishment, you’ve made it man!

[@ioku_josh4459]

You’re a legend mate! Always a joy watching your vlogs! 🤙🏽

SUCH A CLASS ACT!!! You amaze me by your work ethic and how much you improve! You are a joy! What success! I was in Portugal surfing back in 2018 was a dream from when I was a kid it was such a blast. Some of the best sessions of my life. Your channel and videos pushed me to go and live my dreams thank you!!! Just amazed and wowed!!! Congratulations on Nazare!

Mate people like you are more then welcome in Portugal, big heart guy, please come back there’s still so much for you to explore mate, hope all the best for you!

[@majorscreative]

Thank you Ben. I am grateful for your inspiration. I chose sobriety coming up on 7 years in March and like you, am very grateful to have made that change and gotten the support I have. No nub nation, but still many amazing people. Thanks for the stoke.

So proud of you Ben for being sober for 6 yrs. Now you have a lovely wife that will be by your side through thick & thin. Also, when you were on the jetski going by that huge rock in Nazara; that was so awesome. Thank you & Jordan for taking us on your honeymoon adventure.🌴

[@johnymaloney1190]

I got say... not only are you guys so sweet together I have to thank you for the way you´ve portraied my beautiful country and city, Lisbon. It was an absolute pleasure and very special to see everything I love but not always appreciate, through your eyes. Thanks you guys, hope you´ve enjoyed your honeymoon :)

Props to you on your 6 years of sobriety . I didn’t think I could have made 6 days but 25 years later through all the ups and downs it has been an amazing journey . I wish you and Jordan nothing but the best .

"YOU go tell him!"😂 .. epic Jordan. She's got pro claims as a fotog. What an EPIC DAY!!🖖

Epic Bro! Portugal is one of the best places on earth. I was scared just watching the shore break from the cliff. I love watching your videos I grew up in seaside and love to see the New Jersey Surf also. I also Lost my wedding ring on my homey moon while surfing Waikiki. Merry Christmas.

[@erikvaldur3334]

bro thanks for posting, this was my favorite footage I have seen of Nazare, with you going under and actually seeing what it was like, your wife is hilarious, and my favorite part was your end story, keep inspiring the world and I'll keep you updated on the hurricanes on this west coast of FL. Blessings to you bro.

Thanks so much for the Awesome footage from the waves at the base of the renowned cliffs. Those shots of the waves crashing were so realistic, I felt some salt water in my eyes. Living the dream! with Gratitude

Also, Jvern commentary for the win 🤩 makes the show even better.

[@canal30seg]

So emotional watch this video. It brings me tears. I've been sober for four months and I am feeling so good to be. Thank you for share it. I watched you surfing in fifty states in America, and now this in Nazare so crazy...... If you come to Brazil, lets go surf here where I live in São Francisco Island. Keep it.

[@BenGravyy]

Thanks so much!

Great to see you also had a great time in Portugal. We missed us about 7 days. We stayed there for 10 weeks with the family. Hope you come back with your kids next time 🤙

[@kurtskowronek3572]

I am so stoked for you(and Jordan). The journey from the bottom, to where I first started following-Rob Kelly Scudder’s intro-genuine stoke over nothing but you made it-so real and infectious. Same stoke I felt for you with getting the gravy bus road dogging, the first Slater pool visit, the 50th state wave in Alaska and the wedding! Nasare on the last day of your honeymoon- I could not be happier for you. You keep on raising the bar. The story line, filmwork, the editing are just getting better too. Go Get it! Legend AF!

[@jeffduquette9681]

wow! Amazing and iconic spot to surf -- and on your HoneyMoon!

This guy is absolutely nothing short of a great human being. Not only has he gone through his trials and tribulations and faced his demons, but he has also done in a way to not only better himself but also his fans. Me included. The secondary effect of Ben and his trajectory is that he brings many from around the world watching. We all take a 20-40 minute break out of our lives to sit and watch the fantastic ride he’s on. I'm going to create a gofund page for gravy so we, the fans, can better assist Ben Gravy to make more and more videos like this. Whoever would be willing to support Ben Gravy, let me know. I'm starting a godund for Ben Geavy tonight!
