[@eddied8394]

Congratulations Ben!! You have been an inspiration for me for a few years now. I got sober and started surfing again 5 years ago. I'm so happy to see good things happening for you brother. For the dream

[@BenGravyy]

So happy to hear that, thanks so much!

[@chrisstannard1415]

Congratulations Mr Gravy, You have brought so many smiles to my face. Been handicapped from cancer and unable to surf after Decades of surfing (yes I am an old fart) my bucket list includes one last session, May only be able to knee or belly a wave. When the time comes I will purchase the Menace, long enough, then leave behind for my grandson to remember me by. Your attitude has brought much joy. Surfing brings joy and smiles and FUN, you always have fun! Stay good!!!

[@daliks]

beautiful, mr Chris. Hopefully you still have time to have a good time, i am rooting for ya!

[@nancykunik4370]

Very happy for you... The smile on yor face shows how stoked and proud youare having your own board lineup ... Now you're ready to surf the world for the dream!!!

[@sachaDS0]

Fantastic! Great to see boards designed to have the most fun, that's what it's all about. Cheers from France !

[@vwbustube]

Wow! What a great story. I'm thrilled for you. For the record, the soft tops represented more than a form of surfing, but a return to fun. There was something magical about, the carefreeness of it all. The willingness to surf "anything, no matter how small," just being in the water was good enough. Please don't lose that! For the dream!

[@bradlyallen2763]

Congratulations Ben. What a huge achievement in your life.

[@martinbonniciphotography]

Wow that's huge. I hope you kick many more massive goals big dog.Sending good vibes from the Mediterranean.

[@BenGravyy]

Thank you!

[@eubanks8085]

Nothing greater than the feeling of a magic stick under your feet....for me years ago it was the CI Weirdo Ripper, i did the best surfing of my life on that board. Happy for you brother on the signature series of boards! For the Dream!

[@Ionic_77]

I have a Brian brown super brand fling it is amazing lots of love to Brian

[@xisotopex]

I love the superbrand... had a couple boards that were so good, still have a fling for those typical east coast days, cant get another...

[@Abundancesober2023]

Enjoy the blessing ben man. Fantastic. Dreams come true.

[@BenGravyy]

Thank you !

[@sayitaintsl0w]

Congratulations Ben! Huge accomplishment to be making beautiful boards. As a VT Nub, loved seeing Wind and Waves represented in this video. You are a legend.

[@TacticalBeachBum93]

Super sick, i must have a ben gravy algorithm board!

[@jeffpalush4804]

I've been following the dream for quite sometime through the ups and downs and this... THIS IS DEFINITELY AN UP! WAY TO GO BROTHER! SO COOL TO SEE SOMEONE CONSTANTLY GRIDING AND SEEING IT ALL COME TOGETHER!!STOKED FOR THE NEXT ADVENTURE!

[@koliostro13]

thank you man for the inspiration. i.m a forty year old man from Greece and just started to surf. best choice of my life. hope someday i'll be able to get on my hands a board of yours. by the way your ending track is so cool. keep it up man....for the dream

[@BenGravyy]

Thanks so much! Best of luck to you

[@johnhagan582]

Oh I also want you to to do a little customization on that 5'8 Shredder wide thin body quad .like a Big colorful "For The Dream" Sticker to go on the front top .

[@tonysmario817]

nice looking quiver...ben gravy surfboards. living the dream!

[@getitgaryy9847]

Amazing man New to surfing and not real good only have soft tops but might grab one to support the channel and the dream

[@CC-ys8qq]

OMG I loved my SUPER boards! Especially the TOY and the Dion Agius. Stoked to hear this. Good luck Ben I’m gonna check them out.

[@jaymclure4482]

Darn I just bought a lightly used Slater 6'6" cuz I'm getting old and fat and needed the 44 liters to float me. I would have jumped on the Semi Pro or Barrel Kuta if I hadn't just bought that board. I haven't even rode it yet (summer=longboard waves). I'll definitely keep and eye on bengravysurfboards for my next new board. Kinda funny that you and a couple other guys were the ones to make soft tops cool. They used to be just for beginners or rentals but now even my hardcore neighbors have a couple. I see your pineapple logo all over the Outer Banks. I'm hoping to run into you in the lineup some time. I see Bret Barley in the water a lot. I got an Oneil catalog in the mail and there he is being a model. It's gotta be nice getting to surf as a job. I have the next best thing, it's a fun job and I'm my own boss so if the waves are good, I can put a "Gone Surfing" sign in the window and go. Keep up the Stoke.

[@kennysolheim4629]

Good luck with your new boards. My personal favorite is the "Menace"!

[@WarpedENT94]

Congrats Ben dogg!! The new boards are absolutely legendary. & youre a pretty great musician/songwriter! Lyrics in that song were awesome.

[@keithwyckoff5618]

Awesome Ben. I want an 8 footer called the Kook! Thats the board for me!!!!

[@hyper7777]

That 5'8 looks reaaaaal nice. Super have been my favorites boards I've ridden to this day - and I've rode almost every name company. Stoked to see this

[@johnhagan582]

I've been wondering when you were gonna come out with your own line of Ben Gravy custom fiberglass Surfboards .and the time is now ! Congratulations Bigdog you have officially made the big-time Lol .I'm just playing wit ya a bit but totally SERIOUS at the same time .ok now I want to let you kno I wanna put in a official order for that first 5'8 wide quad you took out of tour ride and to your boy .the one he asked which one was the total shredder or shredible board the one you put the black rubber grip on the top rear .yeah Ben I want that board so let me kno how it rides in small 2-4 ft east coast waves .and how I can go about purchasing a identical one .again Congratulations bro

[@scottbelding5914]

Truly a great story! You have scored a 10 with this piece. Everything is in perfect Universal Rhythm and you are a great example of the Law of Attraction. Your pathway to greatness is activated!

BIG congratulations Ben on the new sticks !!!!!

You have some amazing boards! Always killer content too bro!

[@structureOG]

The first board to bring my surfing alive was very similar to the barrel-cuda. Small double-foiled fins were best in the rear boxes even in bigger waves

[@JohnnygSawyer]

Outstanding! Best of Luck with your endeavors. For the Dream! 🏄🌴🌺🤩

[@gardenrj1054]

Pretty cool to see the evolution of Ben Gravy. Starting watching because of my kids and haven't stopped. The down to earth attitude and honesty is the recipe for success. Congrats and keep going !

[@ngm8x]

hi Ben those new boards look good, the semi pro looks epic but I think the 7.0 will be the best seller for you. Never thought I'd hear those words from you "never gonna surf a foam board again" but I understand why. I'll keep your old 5.8 foamie fish ready and the 9.0 catch surf for your next visit to the bore. got a few model names for your new line of boards if you add some other lengths ?!!! 10' 0 gravy Navy 9'0 gravy boat 8'0 gravy train 7'0 mid length crisis 6'0 Sober (first duck dive of the day on this wakes you up like waking up to life after giving up alcohol.) you'll need one for the Bono tidal bore also. Great work. Keep nuking. Nath

[@madmatt5953]

soft tops will always have their special place in my heart...they just feel awesome absolutely love my odyseas. Nothing like grab a board and just go straight to the water, no waxing, no leashes, sometimes no fins, just pure fun!!

[@BenGravyy]

I agree, they are magical

[@slingshotfinancial6382]

Wish I could smash that like button more than once, CONGRATS!!!

Thanks so much!

[@willsohrnberger2441]

Good for you Ben! Those boards look SICK! I can't wait to buy one someday... its been a few years since i've surfed and my boards are collecting dust... but i'd buy one to use when I was at my parents house

[@raddad10]

If I was still surfing I’d love to run your Fish design up and down line. It reminds me of my 6’2” Bonzer I played with around the Ventura/Oxnard Ca. breaks back in the mid-late 70s . That was a hot rod. Wishing you well BenGravy.

Chiii ! I'll be ordering one soon. Best of luck. Keep killin it brother!

[@jono3395]

Congrats Ben and team on the next chapter! Need me a Menace!!!!

This is awesome!!! I can't wait to be able to try these boards. Fingers crossed for a demo definitely adding these boards to my list to add to my quiver! Congrats!

[@Kevinsurfmore]

Welcome back! I will continue watching your videos! Those pincushions ruin peoples surfing! I know Jamie and the boys personally and I know how much they get paid to ride those things. However, you nailed it have your own label with your own designs with your shaper. I did that 20 years ago with Eric gordon from gordon and Smith Surfboards here in San Diego, and never looked back! Super happy for you. Now you can start trying some twinzers a proper fish etc. you’re a great surfer an only going to get better and better now wew ! I’m relieved for you and I don’t even know you.!

[@colbs7625]

Stoked for you! This is so sick! Glad you didn’t leave the soft tops out to dry! A board for every surfer! You never disappoint ❤

Good job Ben, just keep pushing forward and be yourself and everything will work out. 👍🏽😎
