BIGGEST Surf I've EVER Seen at Pipeline (Massive Swell)

[@kch7051]

Great video. That genuine stoke and positive vibe you constantly display is infectious and greatly appreciated. Your approach to it all is what life's all about. Have fun, always give it your best, overcome personal fear or obstacles and be cool with where you land. Lot's of life lessons going on in that video. It was clear you were feeling in over your head. I waited and waited and was absolutely stoked to see you up on that .....you did it, and the look on your face after was just pure happiness. What a day

[@jasondickensheets6478]

Well said

[@GaladonGaming]

I've watched XXL Pipe from the beach, but you couldn't PAY me enough to go out there under those conditions. Massive props to you guys!

[@Liam-tw3jp]

So cool to see a legend clash creator loves surfing

[@joshprovencher8643]

GALADON ur a goat for watching Gravy. Respect you so much more now

[@realkanakamaoli]

No shame Gravy, barely anyone catches a wave their first time in 10-foot Pipe. At least you paddled out and got the experience. Late season Country is when the locals rule the lineups more than the pros, and regular guys can actually catch waves. I predict the best is yet to come for you

[@MAELOB]

Spot on, best time to travel is spring. I am going in couple weeks 👍🏼

[@joshdrivez8303]

Bro going out there is what it’s about doesn’t matter if you do good or bad!!

[@UberKrispy]

@@joshdrivez8303 you said it brotha

[@SxTxD_KY]

@Mike D TEN feet??! You Hawaiians are awesome.. you guys would probably call the biggest wave I've ever caught in my life 4 feet.

[@maryboyce8249]

He did catch a wave!

[@scotts7833]

This is why we love your content Ben! The stoke is contagious!

[@lavapix]

Sometimes the best waves are the ones nobody else wants.

[@benhouse9358]

"I caught a wave (at pipe) that no one else wanted, and that doesn't matter because I caught a wave..." That's the only thing anyone and everyone should take away from this. Ben Gravy, you inspire me and many others to grab it by the balls and go for it. Not because you're the best, not because you want to be the best, but simply because you're just doing it. You're doing what so many others dream of and may never be able to. Just by doing what you're doing, and by genuinely and honestly being who you are, you're proving that somehow in this fucked up world, life still has meaning. Don't stop.

[@BenGravyy]

Thanks so much !

[@wooseokyourself]

So touching comment

[@phucue887]

That whole "feeling small" thing when seeing Pipe at size is Ma nature reminding you of who is really in charge ! Go Ben ! Be safe ....... there's no shame in surviving !

[@Witzomania]

The way you filmed that, the music soundtrack, the commentary; you captured the intensity of the moment at freaking gnarly Pipeline! Mega juevos! Congratulations!

[@BenGravyy]

Thanks so much !

[@petermyers479]

I knew when I started watching you several years ago that I’d watch you surf big Pipeline one day. Here you are…You go Ben Gravy!

[@garywilson1688]

20:00 You couldn't have said it better. Surfed for 45 years +. Trying to get the stoke back. That brings it all back to me. Thanks.

[@BenGravyy]

SO stoked to hear that!

[@whatitisbuddy9785]

Takes major balls just to paddle out! You got a great wave! So happy for you!

[@marchebert9813]

Really, this is one of the best channels on youtube. You show it ALL. Perfect waves, mushy disorganized waves, nervousness, "can I do this?". All of the work just to get in the line up. Great content, keep up the great work.

[@BenGravyy]

Thanks so much for the comment !

[@katefrank4126]

seeing how happy you were after catching a wave a pipe actually made me so happy! i love to see it.

[@steveperreira5850]

Very cool! I like it best when the guys stand up in the pipe. I know a lot of guys crouch down to get a deeper ride, but it doesn’t look great. Stand up like a man! It’s not impressive for me to see you guys knee boarding it on pipeline just so they disappear slightly more. I know these guys are a lot better surfers than I am, but I like the look of a man Or woman standing up on a surfboard, not clinging to it with their hands

[@steveperreira5850]

Absolutely great story, and you were standing up. Good man! I envy you. I never caught a wave that big! The drop is impressive!

[@Gixflix1]

One of your best vlogsBen. Being around Jamie you just never know what is next. The soundtrack was perfect. I knew you would nail it...:)

[@tuttlespeachtree3413]

I respect how honest you were about how you felt that day and being truly nervous about surfing Pipe on a big day like that, instead of acting hard. Good luck out there mr. Ben Gravy!!

[@AdamPizzi]

so appreciate how real you keep it, Ben. No tough guy, above it all attitude. Humble. Pure respect.

[@rvmcwhorter]

Once again , you show the real deal of surfing pipe. It’s always someone’s dream wave , or lifetime destination. You are the greatest thing surfing has seen ever Ben Gravy . Legend .

[@rikrok2073]

Oh please!

[@JohnCocozza]

Congrats Ben. You could see the pure stoke on your face afterwards.

[@JMH33SD]

Mad props Ben, the line "nothing to fear but fear itself" doesn't apply to a day like that at Pipe. Too many variables way beyond anyone's control, borderline insanity. I think you need to get a couple straight Pipe boards for when you go to Hawaii. Maybe Wade can shape you some and you keep them a Jamie's so you don't have to travel with them.... just idea For the Dream!

[@ericcaloosa371]

Ben! Dude! We all have the utmost confidence in you my friend. I didn't doubt you for a moment. Comparatively to the bigger waves you've surfed the last couple years, you should feel confident in your abilities dude. I know it's nerve racking, I've been there, but I think if anyone could do that, it could be you! I think you will surf bigger and gnarlier barrels in your future dude! We all believe in you, we know you can! For the dream!

[@blakemitchell5503]

"It's nothing in the scheme of things..." No sir, it's absolutely EVERYTHING in the scheme of things....Dream realized. Amazing stuff Ben! YEWWWW!!!

[@striderranger7384]

The slow-motion waves look like Hawaii Five-O. “Book em Danno”.

[@FlyKngImages]

Epic job brother!! You did what i will never do. I stopped because of injury, but Pipeline always me . I lived in Kauai and Maui and when we went to the Northshore it was flat. Great job Ben!! Such a massive thing to personally conquer.

[@tobinbh3940]

SOOOOOOO STOKED FOR YOU BRO!!!!!!!! keep pushing forward in your growth!!! fully inspiring!!

[@everythingallin4905]

One of the best surfing video I have ever seen. Seeing those big waves are peaceful.

[@PalegreSpottingHD]

You got a wave in Pipeline, that is it, it dosen't matter the size, you got a wave Ben and that is awesome.

[@josephhertzberg2734]

Man, sitting on the beach in Hawaii during a huge winter swell, feeling the beach shaking when those walls come through is humbling. Going out is heroic

[@robertcarsella1234]

Had to finish watching from the moment you asked us to pray for you. That's refreshing and you've got a great attitude towards life's challenges. Keep up the positive attitude, but yes, know your limits mostly. Good job catching your wave.

[@mr.h3134]

Happy for you @Ben Gravy, by far your best video, ie, suspense, gradual build up, the soundtrack, nice work.

[@marysmyczynski3425]

Ben your excitement in your voice and your expressions on your face did my soul good! I had faith in you!! I knew you could do it!!

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Way to go Ben! The stoke is real! Livin' the dream!

[@jake11101]

that's why we love you mate. most of us will never experience this. Nature always make us remember how small we are

[@buy-chywhy-fi5540]

Super stoked for you, really well done for over-coming your fears & stepping up, mad respect bro. Just asking please not to turn your vlogs' RAD vibes into a clone of the super-poser vibe of JOB.....keep it kiff & Jersey.

[@tomw2687]

Kudos to you Ben. I've only surfed Pipeline on a 2 to 4ft. day and that was intimidating many years ago. That wave is steep, powerful and fast. Great job brother! For the Dream!!!

[@steyer-crmg]

I love how waves look small(on screen) when no one is out. But then you add one little person and they look huge.

[@daveh900]

WTG Gravy!!! You faced your fears...you overcame them...and look at how you felt. I'm pretty sure that's what it's all about. ROCK ON!

[@timothyvanjaarsveld9202]

What you said at the end of the video was so well stated and relatable thank you for that

[@ryguyvapes]

Man i felt that part when you talked about hearing the thunder of the waves. THATS when you know its as good as it gets and it is a BOMB SWELL. Being out in the water during those days are forever imbedded into my brain, especially my first time going out in it and experiencing that LOUD thunder happening all around you... the waves crashing really sounds just like Thunder on those days. I vividly remember how dropping in felt like on them bombs, it was like i was flying 100mph headed straight for the beach. It felt like i was dropping in forrrreverrrr before setting up for the bottom turn, because of how huge the faces were it was a crazy feeling. This was at Belmar, 16th ave I was around 18 and been bodyboarding for a few years and will NEVER forget popping my first epic "thunder" Hurricane swell cherry. How crazy long those drop ins felt to me and how intimidating it was to look up at the the huge wall/face while riding (keep in mind when bodyboarding your laying down right, so that face is looking Alot bigger when your on it looking up for a section to hit, lol).

[@claytonkr05]

Way to go big dog! More stones than me, I'm a right coaster and biggest I ever had the guts to paddle out in on a Hawaii trip was what I called 6'-8'. A local came and joined me, awesome dude, informed me that it was like 2' Hawaiian 😥 Anyway, just seeing it in person was a learning experience.

[@bullschitt3666]

Which one of you were exaggerating? 2ft hawaiian is usually about chest high. But I got a good 1.5x overhead wave my friend deemed a "solid three"

[@patrickcummings8533]

Unreal Gravy! Absolute stones just to paddle out never mind get a wave! Congrats dude

[@scottclayton161]

Between you and JOB these are by far the best vlogs on the internet. Heck, I was nervous watching this, can't imagine the knot in your stomach the first time paddling out into that. Has to be somewhat comforting having the pipe master himself alongside.

[@Vic3D]

your content is so wholesome bro keep at it, and congrats on that ride!

[@John.R.Thompson]

Super proud of you Ben! I live in Hawaii and I know that Pipe is way bigger in person than it looks on camera! I would never have the courage or the skill to paddle out there! You did it brother! And.....while I was watching you being nervous, I wanted to tell you, "remember, you're a good surfer, just try to relax and be confident in your ability!" You did it! The dream is real!

[@gregstewart3126]

Photography & Music really good and better than other videos...Sunset waves at end was really nice more of that please......

[@joegibbs2508]

There's psyched, and there's psyched out. Early on, you psyched yourself out. But with Jamie's help and assistance, you were able to get beyond that. Fear is the enemy, it will hold you back from your dreams! Well Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@willmiddleton9199]

LOVE This video ! Ben, your stoke jumped off the screen. What a testament to the joys of surfing and pushing one's limits - Bravo !!

[@bigdub1456]

Thanks for sharing the stoke BG! Totally diggin the vibe brah!!

[@19markz67]

Ambassador of stoke you win the day! Some of my most memorable days were one wave days.

[@gayatrimade2844]

You are very sincere and an honest guy with your own feeling about the wave! We love you brother! Keep on shredding 🤙🤙🤙🏄🏄🏄 hello from bali island! 👋👋👋🏝🏝☀️☀️🏄🏄🏄😊

[@lancecarmine3516]

...again it's probably just me, but am I the only one who expects to look up and see THE LEGEND paddling his kayak into one of those BOMBS!! 🤣😂😄😉😘 YEEW!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@Maya123horses]

Ben, appreciate you sharing this experience with us. What a beautiful moment, a dream realized. Forever stoked on life. Congrats man.

[@iankavanagh1385]

The surf the peeps the tunes! Great vid! Smashed it!

[@genesmith4642]

It's all good! Take what you can get and get what you can take. Have fun be safe.

[@veganf14]

The footage of Andre Botha is sick! Such an unmistakable style.

[@sharkymcsharkface]

Man i know the feeling...my first time at Pipe I walked down to the beach and put my board down. It was massive and I was super nervous but once you walk down there with a board, in front of dozens of people and photographers, you have to paddle out! I did and it was amazing - i didnt die and got a couple of decent waves. Was super stoked when i got back in also. Pipe definitely forces you to go to another level

[@mrjeff4832]

Living the dream! Congrats. That was something off the bucket list!

[@ClaudiaGarcia-wx5cb]

Please don't stop making these videos, I'm paralyzed and I live through You and Your videos!! Especially this newest one!!!!!!!!

[@steinervision7643]

Good for you Ben! Glad you went with Jaime, no better guy to be with you out there!!

[@colinfuller6361]

That why we watch you, brutal honesty and authenticity!

[@TomByrnes]

For the dreeeeaaamm!! Onya Ben! Stoked for ya 🤙🏼

[@JohnBaruch10]

Thats so BA how you overcame your fears Ben, glad you had your day. Awesome video.

[@seamonkey2641]

Ben brings humility and respect to a sport that produces way too many inflated egos.

[@willtabler1338]

Your the man Ben!!!! East coast showing up! Thanks for all u do brother

[@Rascularvideos]

If anyone ever wants to see the difference between stress and pure elation in someone, watch this. I’ve had a shit start to the year and this made me cry. In a good way. Fair play to you all round.

[@wavesofgloryheal]

Thanks for the inspiration! I love the post-surf portion where the pure joy of achieving your dream just radiates from your being. May we all be so focused, blessed and courageous to go for our dreams whatever they may be. You rock!

[@amartart]

Great wave at Pipeline today, Ben!! Wahoo!!

[@S3MMY345]

This absolutely made my day, Faith over Fear boys !!!!

[@davidricardo4188]

I realy like you Ben Gravy......you are so honest an a real person.....good things come for you.... you going to see.....hugs my friend..

[@nickcarophotography]

Yeah Ben! So stoked for you. It's been so inspiring watching you take on each and every challenge and conquering them come what may. Truly through discomfort and beating our fears we find our best self. For the frickin' dream!!!!

[@peterbrockettjr6163]

WOW! fine filming work by Ryan and a nicely synced soundtrack Wicked Awesome piece of work !!!!!.

[@joefinley62]

Epic wave! Congratulations. Thanks for all the stoke

[@jjstupka9224]

I loved this video, awesome edition! Brazilian fan here!

[@mattpiepenburg8769]

Proud of you Ben. The biggest waves are internal and you rocked it.

[@rickdeboer1616]

Great Vid, Loved how you captured the empty waves , the misses , the makes. Your stoke is infectious, stoked for you as well.

[@mikedenton6485]

Way to face your fear. Awesome Ben. I can see the stoke on your face.

[@theYeti1000]

I'm sure that I'm not the only one to have said this but we/us/fans always knew you could do it m8 and we are dam proud of you.

[@jaccitera9604]

It is a great feeling meeting that challenge and living the dream. An value of "Aloha" is 'ho'omau':The value of perseverance. To persist, to continue, to perpetuate. Never give up.

[@DrMatey215]

Love the soundtrack. I never surfed but have boogie boarded and body surfed the North shore. A once in a lifetime experience!

[@tepitokura]

Thanks for those words at the end. Pure stoke and you overcame your fears.

[@chunkypb]

Nice to see real raw feelings when about to step out of your comfort zone and charge!

[@worldsurf]

Hell of an episode ben!! 👏 loved it!!

[@jzen1455]

Seeing massive Pipe is a sight (and sound!) to behold in person!

[@lockedout8643]

Sometimes I think your yahooing over 2ft slop is a bit contrived but that's 100% unbridled joy and excitement right there, well done mate.

[@francoisrossouw1656]

Awesome Gravy, the bar was moved up by a few notches respect. Jamie, he makes it look so easy!

[@nathanaelkitchen813]

So stoked for you! You did it!

[@tepitokura]

Such powerful words at the end. Much respect Ben. Hope to see you in 2024

[@KaraPatri-astralcartography]

Past topic..the addiction talk.. you administered:).. a few segments ago was really important.. few realize how surfers fall prey to that unless you've been there..its really fun and easy to drink a few dozen beers after a good surf..but that's such a trap over time..its like the opposite of the spirit of the sea..that really made me stoked on your whole trip..nice job dude!!..you probably helped a lot of young surfers.

[@Ericxnugz]

Yeah dude it got to a point I was drinking every day after workouts or whatever for a reward. Happy 4 months sober

[@tepitokura]

I did have the same experience about 12 years ago. It was massive. You are a humble Hero. I’ll catch you in Oahu soon. Great job.

[@C_Haberstoked]

So stoked for you Ben!

[@theajane6444]

Yeah-yeah-yeah!! Love watching you going for and living the dream--you are such a positive, inspiring figure, Ben. You probably have no real concept of how many lives you touch in a really great way. But no worries--make the claim, catch the wave, live the dream and hopefully you can feel the massive wave of good energy following you and pushing you forward.

[@JustCurious637]

Thanks for posting this Ben!

[@EllEss331]

You did it! WTG! Loved this video - the music was perfect. You got your wave! Just great seeing you & Jamie & crew together. The footage of the waves was breathtaking.

[@BrianMichigan]

I am SOOOO STOKED for you Ben!!!

[@MiguelFlores-fs7qv]

Man this is why you are my favorite surfer Ben! Sick wave!!

[@troytaylor5824]

Great waves, with great surfers. I especially like the hospitality and the complimentary surf helmet with his quiver, for his guests new to the break. Very top notch, first class. Jamie wore his cool helmet and shredded the gnarly. I like the helmet to also protect the ears from cold winds. 🤙🍍

[@chrisbeck9442]

Dude, that was so rad!! The realness you displayed is genuine and you just lived the dream us surfers who may never get a chance to surf such an iconic break live only in our dreams!! Kudus bro!!

[@irishkitty7257]

Love the enthusiasm and stoked feeling.

[@Who.is.Clinton]

BIG WAVES DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welldone.

[@rickopato]

The secret is to feed off Jamie’s confidence and humour an roll with it your in good hands

[@leskavage]

Looking down from The Pillbox, I stared down at perfect left after left. I felt confident that I could handle it. When I hiked back down to the beach, I became eye level with the liquid freight trains. I opted to pass, rather than risk my life. As Dirty Harry said, “a man’s got to know his limitations!” Two days later the swell had subsided and it was still scary AF. You’ve got some big cojones, Ben. That’s why you are the Admiral of the Gravy Navy!

[@eddiemccarthy4076]

Ben that was the best thing on TV today ah KZbin I mean!
