So thankful to Kenny Shapes for my first ever 11ft Custom Glider Surfboard. We were able to get this thing into some fun surf today, but I'm really looking forward to taking the next step with this board & sending it out to the outer sand bars on a negative tide to get the longest rides on record! Thanks for all the stoke & support everyone, FOR THE DREAM!! - Ben

Hoping to see Jvern catching some novelty dreamers on it!!

[@samuelajones]

“That’ll look cool on the wall”😂 🤦🏿‍♀️ perfect response

[@funafter5081]

ANY DAY is a good wave day with that board in your quiver. Have fun on it Ben. Get stylin’ on it as it grows on you. Take care, John

[@danseng3747]

That's 1 beautiful rhino chaser!!

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Beautiful board! A glider indeed! Some of the longest rides I've seen you get even on the little rollers! You'll be amazed how fast you can go through the resin right down to glass dragging a board on the sand - ask me how I know! Great to see you back in the water! Stay stoked!

[@funafter5081]

I was gonna say the same thing about dragging it…I bet the shaper wasn’t to thrilled to see that! Cheers, John

[@scottmcwave9479]

What in the Skip Frye is going on!🤙🏄‍♂️😎

[@davidatchison4986]

that's what I was thinking!

[@locksmithdb5987]

That board is SICK! Also, Mackey has improved so much! Good for him!

[@scottmcwave9479]

Makki is stoked for the summertime fun!😎

[@Windds]

I just got a new board today, it’s a 7’6 “Pocket Rocket” by Infinity I’m so stoked to get my fins and some waves on Lake Michigan.

[@uzikelslandarth5091]

Love that you’re starting to ride these alternative boards!

[@mattprovencal5450]

The essence of soul surfing without a soul in sight! The power a big board harnesses is an insane feeling. After surfing a 16 footer my 11 felt weak! Great vid!

[@robbieevans6536]

Gravy is a natural on any shape.

[@rakim126]

The yellow makes it look like a 40 year old antique. I counted 35 second rides..wow. cool camera work.

[@yournamehere6719]

Butterscotch, like a vintage Telecaster.

[@ezview24]

Great video! That last glide was amazing…the wave was not breaking at times yet you were still surfing. Cool board 🏄

[@ShaneOConnorRec]

finally an appropriate board for the conditions!

[@fronts3165]

Nice Ben. Getting into some Skip Frye action. ❤

[@mahcaebnivek2610]

What a sick summer board! The cross step is looking clean too! Looking like a seasoned longboarder

15:00 epic cinematic shots !

[@trippcox2641]

And a pintail!? Holy smokes what a blade! Looks unbelievably fun 🤩😍🙌

[@brantsarkela3189]

The spot compliments the board nicely.

[@barryjones1884]

Beautiful board loving the glider

[@robotafflicition]

I feel like my soul needed this and I didn’t know it, I got to get my old log back out in the water man

[@kevinq9873]

Always wanted to see you on a glider. Yeeeeewwww!

[@thepredator2707]

Nice board Ben !! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ironhorse_bikes]

Wow ! That is so cool I love long boards they ROCK!!

[@Cjg_42]

That sunrise session 🤘🏻😍

[@troytaylor5824]

That is a beautiful board! Classic! Get Steezy🍍😎 For the Dream! Yewww!!!

[@JohnnygSawyer]

Genius Glider Bruh ❣️ For Da Dream Homie ❣️

[@thesocalhansens]

Cone on man! One of the sickest boards Ive ever seen.

[@shoreboardz1942]

Beautiful board Ben. I'm looking to replace my 10.3 noserider. Curious could you share the Dim. and weight? Have fun for the dream! Yew!!

[@Kennyshapes]

Dims are 14.75 24 17.25 3. Could craft up anything youd like!

[@hman7236]

You can ride anything you gots the Gravy

[@SailingFreeStyle]

lol myself at the EXACT SAME TIME as you: “ON THE WALL!?!?”

[@ahbwisurfnpaddle]

Now you're styling ! And you'll be able to get into those waves earlier than you ever did before. While the shore break jam is a fun time,...the classic long board game is for a lifetime of adventure. You done real good Ben. Kinda' like realizing a springer over a full suit does work in the super cold. Team Yellow boards to boot ! Respect to YOU Ben.....e.

[@robertturner8040]

Lovely looking board i made my self a 11'6" years back and rode that it all size waves stick a big wave leash on it and go out in over head waves with the paddle speed of a classic long board and rolling it on the paddle out it makes surfing big waves easy you can get in to the wave so so early its crazy .

[@palomares.webador]

That footage... esp the dawn sessh... is WOOOOWWWW! Cinematic! Btw, got a Wave Bandit boogie board at the meetup with Ben at Wave Hog Surf Shop, Ship Bottom, NJ There was a smth like "Surf any wave" on the insert, the board is well built, and of a good weight. And wow! It did deliver! I caught waves at lakes Erie, Michigan, Superior, and finally at the Atlantic - some was good, some was mini-novelty - and it handled them all.

[@kahunaal1631]

Gliders ruler!

[@christimko9296]

Smallest board I learned on was a 10’ Big Gun… they averaged 12ft……Hawaii in74’.. finally got a shortie 7ft… 😂🤷‍♂️🤙

[@himebaughchris4026]

You got a Yacht there. 😁

[@newnova66]

Log life!! Any bigger and you’re gonna have to register it with the marine board 😂

[@bunkerspeckles4668]

Don’t drag your stick on the sand man 😂

[@davidsmith422]

Gotta get Jordan on that thing.

[@Sp4wnK3lla]

Love the board! Sometimes surf is about the ride and nothin' else.

[@LocalMotions]

That was relaxing. Nice board!

[@robertstanton1668]

First time I've seen you cross stepping. Damn Boy, you're growing up!

[@buzzbabyjesus]

Love it. Stoked! For The Dream.

[@sethEtheshark82]

I died laughing at the manscaped promo

[@BenGravyy]

Lol

[@thomasfbrown5872]

I haven’t gone electric yet. But that thing looks pretty good.

[@thomasfbrown5872]

Put an APB out on that lost camera! I’m bring my goggles to the beach the rest of the summer! I’ll hit you up when I find it! For the Dream! Yewww!

[@ianwilkinson3425]

Sick azzzz. A frame is insane on the drone cam. That board is an aircraft carrier 😂😂 4 the dream 🍍

[@lancecarmine3516]

Can you imagine riding the 11' Glider on a ferry wave??? BG will surf all the way to Lewes!! 😂😂🤣🤣

[@BenGravyy]

@@lancecarmine3516 right!!

[@WS102]

I love my 12' Munoz Super Glide. It turns off the tail, not the rails. Drop in and run up to the middle 60's style, and walk the deck. Being a big guy helps. Good to about 8-10', and surf them off the tail in big stuff. Fade way below closeouts and glide around and back up into the next section. Do it right on a long shoal, catch the reforms, and ride in through 4-5 sections all the way to the sand. Point breaks are even better as you can paddle into the waves where the Sea Janitor SUP kooks hang out.

[@esp224]

Got the 11 and 12 Munoz…Love em

[@katewhipple6618]

Such a cool board!

[@karlneumann6833]

On the wall !!?? This is built to chase dreamers 😂

[@CC-gg4oj]

One of the best board's I've ever rode was a 13fter. Amazing glide. Ps: Ben, drop knee on your cutbacks! Cheers!

[@psandqs8981]

How many bars of wax on that bad boy?

[@BenGravyy]

Two ta tree

[@skinrat81374]

you sharing glyder footage is exactly what my surfing needs rn, YESSSS THANK GOD! It's up to you

[@RayStevens-jf3ie]

Lovely looking board. You’ve got me thinking Ben ..😎

[@aaronbaltusis6357]

That board is sick! No leash for the soul sesh!

[@Iowa-dy2mi]

Anytime you off that softop is great day 🤙🏿great video

[@countermoonman]

A “rhino chaser” from the 60’s, ah yes, the good old days! 😎🇺🇸✌️

[@vancity_coaster]

Smooth operator

[@Brett-c6c]

You boys have the aloha and mana'o to surf shallow dinky surf and make it fun.

[@smac5046]

Beautiful Glider!!!❤

[@petegibson863]

My first glass board was a 10' 6" Atlas Woods , three stringer , single fin , as my boards became shorter , I used to refer to riding the Atlas Woods as " Standing on the deck of the Titanic ! " great times and memories .

[@samuelajones]

Got em!

[@katherinehayward4082]

Nice board!! Great to see all the guys taking a turn for the dream!

[@tjtoobs]

Time to start cross stepping, tap into a whole different audience 🔥 sick board my dude

[@tjtoobs]

Looks like I spoke too soon bra

[@joshrichardson7077]

Haha bro I rode 9 0s for a long time,, one day I rode a 10,2, game over mutherfucker.. now I'm in love with a 11 footer it's like taking the caddy out for a low rider experience... bro be careful,, you will fall in love and all your future videos will feature that beautiful board,, im fucking jelly over here brah. Love you man

[@jmfu]

You need a CDL to drive one of those in. 🚛..🚚...🚒

[@jasondhines]

Nice flyin’!

[@michaelmurphy834]

Dennis!!!!!!

[@kendalldavis99]

I think cape may needs some glider action

[@paulthebaker]

Sweet

[@emisurfchannel2280]

Looks heavy yewww 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@EN-qo5yh]

Skip Frye likes paradoxically smaller fins - maybe 7.5" or 8.5" for less drag/resistance - helps the board have just enough hold to keep in trim on smaller waves - you really can oversize the fins on these types of boards (my opinion).

[@gabrielgullette6695]

Nice looking board

[@dxb338]

i got me a 10 footer last year, a big board is key for a big dog in jersey in the summer time.

[@TheK.808]

Bingo bango pickled mango!! Super cool board Ben

[@davebradley7809]

need to be hangin 5's n 10's on it dude.!!

[@HughEllisBennett]

So sick!

[@stevewright2813]

good boy, Dennis 🦴

[@kennysolheim4629]

DENNIS!!! 💦💙

[@lawrencemcgee6321]

Babe wake up, Ben Gravy just posted

[@leemcelmeel8782]

Was that Ron Burgundy on the jazz flute?

[@davidscott5131]

I would call that Roots surfing, like on the old Olo boards. Hui o' he'e nalu

[@glennmcguire5571]

You gotta have an 11' glider in your quiver. Mines a 11'4" shaped by Greg Eavey out of Hampstead, NC. Best glider shaper. In big surf the board will outrun close outs. Have fun.

[@JasonForouhar]

want some real fun... take it out in double overhead especially if its a a bit mushy deep water spot and scream through sections as they stand up in front of you from WAY outside

[@BenGravyy]

Planning on NJ outer bar this hurricane season !

[@JasonForouhar]

@@BenGravyy dude, these things are fun in big surf, they don't surf like a gun that has rocker....they GO! enjoy it!

[@yournamehere6719]

Right Tool for the Job. That last sequence and tune were perfect fit, dreamy & trippy. Who was that music by?

[@aidancanthang]

What’s the song called that was played during the surfing clips?

[@AriseRoots]

All you need to do is ride one to understand why it’s called a glider. Shout out to Skip Frye!

[@dennismccarthy7032]

Epic❤

[@ibesailing]

Perfect board for those conditions. What fin are you using on that coffee table?

[@nosmoking7239]

Just goes to show you can catch anything with the right equipment.

[@tomconrad8017]

Shades of Skip Frye

[@user-bb3sg6si4k]

Wow ur crosswalking I didn’t know you can do that!

[@barrytcoxscuba]

Now that's an 11 foot plank 😂

[@user-vq4zy9te5u]

Wets up 👍🏻

[@davidthursfield8833]

You need to get Tina & Sally Cohen to teach you how to get “toes on the nose”

[@andrewley3353]

Now you are talking some soul surfing.

[@kahunaal1631]

A glider is not a longboard. Similar but ridden differently. On the right wave it just goes and goes and goes. Quiet Flight.

[@andysgarage007]

What in the Skip Frye is going on!
