WYOMING; might cHaNGe your life

For this video I went back to one of Wyoming's best surfable rapids in the Snake River. First time back after almost a decade to rediscover the magic of this charming little surf scene in the heart of the US. And reconnecting with the inspiring scene that has sent me on the path I'm on today :)
Huge thanks to Max Mogren for the hospitality and letting me crash in the shed. To Cam and Guch for always coming down and bringing the good vibes and hi levels of shred. To KB for being my river GURU. And all the locals at the wave, LOVE THIS CREW!

I don’t even surf (I ride BMX) but, Weird Waves and all the subsequent videos on your channel are up there with the best stuff I’ve seen on KZbin. The hype/stoke really does transcend all sports. Super inspiring and makes me want to go and find weird and wonderful places to ride! Congratulations on the new season man, can’t wait to watch it! 👊

[@DylanGravesYT]

Wow, thanks! Love this feedback and I’d love to see a BMX version of WW 🙌

That one standing river wave you went to in Africa was absolutely wild, best one I've ever seen and one of the coolest Weird Waves episodes.

[@DylanGravesYT]

Agreed for wave quality but this one had the sickest crew on it. Love seeing that in surf, just as much as getting barreled

[@beezersurf]

I've been surfing and watching surf movies/videos since 1985. Weird waves (Vans/Dylan), your personal vlog, surfing these novelties, etc, and Maps to Nowhere (O'neill), are the most refreshing new videos to come from surfing, in a long, long time....IMO. I guess I'm saying I'm old, maybe? Ha! Mostly I'm saying thanks for making these, Dylan. It's awesome to see the relationships formed from the journey, as much as the surfing itself. Keep it up!

[@DylanGravesYT]

Glad to hear this, love the love ❤️ the support and love shared when people reach out like this makes my year and in so many ways keeps me out there. Thank you 🙏

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

Duuuude! HELL YES! I can't believe I'm only catching this news and video now 😅 congrats to you and everyone involved on the new season of Weird Waves, so well deserved. Long may it continue! Love how much you have learned and grown over all these years. But vibe and stoke has always stayed high! Super amped to see where you take us next! For me, the best thing about your videos is it doesn't just get you stoked to surf, it gets you stoked to live life! Thanks for all the work you do. Love 💚

[@DylanGravesYT]

Thanks so much 🙏 that’s it 💯 surfing is a life enhancer and as we go through this roller coaster of life, it’s nice to have something like surfing to help stay grounded for the good and pull us up from the bad 🙌

[@skwankulon4535]

I almost surfed the Snake River in Idaho with my car one night! My pals and I were driving up to Canada from Sun Valley late in the night. At a stretch of the highway that hugged the river through a mountainous region that had more sharp curves than any road any of us of had ever seen, speeding like young idiots that we were....we came around a very sharp bend and there was aa giant trash can in the middle of the road. Just as we were about to collide with it, it spread a 6-foot wingspan and took off cleared the windsheild by inches. We all freaked out and I almost drove us off the road at 60moh into the raging Snake River just feet below us. I literally shit myself..... true story! :) We screamed in unison: "WTF was that?!??!" It was a massive Great Horned Owl. 3 feet tall! 6 foot wingspan.

[@DylanGravesYT]

Whoa ! Wild story, glad everyone is ok !

[@leemcdee1047]

Nice one, that looks so fun!

[@CRASSsk8s]

Thanks, Dylan!!🏄🏼‍♂️🛹

[@PlaySA]

Check out these videos called Cheese Wave Series, where some Canadian lads use interesting 'river boards' (kind of like a very heavy bodyboard with handles all around) to ride standing river waves, and even invented tricks for it like board flips, board spins, and front flips. You may like that Dylan if you see this.

[@DylanGravesYT]

Yeah are you referring to Tom Patterson and his brother ? Freestyle river boarding?

[@surfcoach]

Sick one Dylan. Love that you bring your enthusiams and positivity too all kinds of places that can be surf.

[@tonyjovanovic9259]

What a great video Dylan! You are correct, this wave can and did change my life. I moved to Jackson, Wy from So Cal in 1991 and surfed there till 1994. During that time my friend and I were featured of a national Toyota 4Runner TV commercial surfing there. Oh what a feeling! The following year we banked enough money to take a sweet surf trip to Costa Rica and that started a 30 plus year love affair with that country. Good times...Pura Vida!

The Dutch surf scene doesn’t really get international attention so it would be cool to see you shine some light on it with this new wave!

My brother always talked about this wave. He would surf it a lot when he lived there. Obviously things all have to align for it to break but him teaching me how dangerous it can be was so interesting

[@DylanGravesYT]

Epic! Yeah definitely a rad spot. Like all river waves there’s so much water you definitely gotta know what you’re doing. I guess I’ve done a few videos on river waves now and touched on the safety side of it I felt like I was a broken record including that side of it but I should’ve included that in this anyways.

[@dylanjamesfilms]

Such a challenging wave!!

[@DylanGravesYT]

All standing waves are, definitely a unique approach to riding a surfboard in comparison to ocean surfing

[@drewrodwell4221]

Can’t wait

[@marschantescorcio1778]

This may sound weird but weird is your thing. I've got a massive mancrush or rather human crush for you. Hear me out. There's times I need a reminder that good solid down to earth humans are still around. Times when that love hate relationship with surfing, life and the world in general shifts towards the negative. Watching any of your work helps bring it back to the positive. Your genuine stoke, open-mindedness, humility and willingness to not make it about you is refreshing. To see that same attitude reflected by the people around you makes me happy. I've said this before but I'll say it again: I wish there were more good humans like you in the world. Peace bro.
