Historic "Day of the Decade" Surf at La Jolla Cove, San DIego

It's not often you experience the "day of the decade" surf at any spot, let alone the world renown big wave novelty of La Jolla Cove in San Diego. Obviously this wave isn't the craziest thing ever, but it is cool to hear that it hasn't broken since Big Wednesday 2014 or something...? haha hope everyone is enjoying the California VLOGS, believe it or not there's still much more to come! Thanks for the stoke! - Ben

Bens hair looks like Bill murray's from the movie King Pin lol The older generation will know what I'm talking about. 10:00

[@ahilker1]

Yeah, and the crowd's reaction to them rolling down to the cove was like Munson's entry to that movie. The only thing missing was someone giving Ben their slice of pizza.

[@Rascularvideos]

We don’t have a cow!

[@slashtrio]

Ah man, that’s harsh. He’s got more hair than that! Luckily he’s a pretty good looking dude so he can always buzz it if it creeps back too far.

[@nvvf422]

Ben murray

[@Tehkneekz]

And his hair just subtly keeps getting crazier every scene through out the movie.

[@relaxingoceansounds6723]

Me and my friends from Kansas are signed up for your surf school at Big Rock next year. We are all super stoked. You and Zeke are proof that La Jolla waves are for everyone.

[@BenGravyy]

Hahaha

[@zachnewsom4071]

the rock sure Ain't for everyone

[@Elloguvanah]

​@@zachnewsom4071ignorance! I learned to surf at Big Rock. Big west swell, low tide. That's where my surf school took us! It was a blast. Locals were sweethearts! The waves were playful

Big wave Dave is a legend that died on his board in the Humboldt bay harbor entrance. There’s a memorial for him at the eureka jetty spot.

[@keithwyckoff5618]

Love it. Zeke killing it, Ben just dropping in on locals lol and Skip absolutely shredding!!!

[@rustyharp2020]

You guys are killin' it! Ignore the noise, Ben and Zeke collabs got me stoked🤙

[@oceanpotion725]

Man thanks for the inside look I couldn't get enough seeing what the cove looks like with the epic waves! I Don't have to imagine any more thanks

[@kennethrosenberg181]

It's always nice to see the cove breaking. I remember back in 1985 I saw it breaking six times overhead! I headed down there planning to paddle out until I looked at it and then turned around and went back to get my camera. Sadly, I don't know what I ever did with those shots...

[@surferduck420]

Good memories what about now 😮

[@William-Bill-Munny]

I was just telling my wife about that swell. When people say this was a once in a lifetime swell I say not in my lifetime - I have seen a few. But then again I remember when the HB pier was made of wood, Main St was one way & The Golden Bear still had bands playing. I bet The Frog House in Newport Beach probably still has the picture of a wave breaking OVER the HB pier and taking out The End Cafe. circa 1985

[@surferduck420]

@@William-Bill-Munny yes if your 50 to 70 yrs old you know we've seen bigger and better 70s and 80s shit no one filmed.🦆🌊💜💯🤙

[@alacon28]

Zeke seems pretty toxic at this point. Dropping in on people and then starting fights with them. Calling people out for filming at “his spot” love the channel but hate when zeke shows up on here. He just seems like the exact opposite of a good role model for your audience.

[@andyman3309]

Agreed

[@skipreichenberg443]

I was there Dood watching you guys from the cliffs. Epic!!!!!

[@kevinm5564]

wow! This might the earliest I've ever been to the comments. I dont know what to say. Thanks for regularly producing some of the best surf content out there.

[@katherinehayward4082]

Wow what epic surf in La Jolla here!! Never seen it this big!! You made it!! Looked good out there!!

[@pauliecarles9516]

Gotta love Zeke! Legend Yeeew

[@robertbaker5294]

Best surf show out right now,, keep the dream alive Ben!!

The Dom Toretto quote tho 😂 “you almost had me?”

[@raymondperez2972]

I love it Ben! Rock and Rolling Da Dream! Aloha ke akua!

[@jcd-k2s]

That is really next level, you have a perfect wave 200m from there, yet, you decide to surf that. Even for fame I wouldn't have done that.

[@surferduck420]

We came, we saw,we kicked ass 🦆🌊🤙💯💜

[@seanlewis3414]

The most Ben gravy vlog. Loved it.

[@William-Bill-Munny]

The result of not rolling out of bed until 9am😂😂 Ok it's going off, huge...."hey lets go surf crap backwash waves" 😂😅😂😅 Nice afternoon session though.

[@30yearoldgrom]

This one was nuts!!! 🥳🤙

[@keithmaynard2386]

That fast and furious quote was hilarious

[@bgwhalley]

I've seen the cove twice this size somewhere between 2007-2010.

[@MK-su6eg]

Wave I'll never forget .... going right inside Makaha, throwing a frontside cutback , banking off the back wash wave and coming back out riding the backwash wave back out over inside reef! MK ! In and out! 1970s!

[@TheKenzaya]

New intro is DOPE!!

[@Wayne--O]

GMC's rule, ha. Glad you guys caught it pumping

[@minxlabrada]

Thanks for the stoke! Marine Street and Horseshoes must have been insane!

[@BobbyJetty1502]

First, stoked that you were there Ben. My apologies for not keeping in touch recently Second, Zeke. All of your elders are happy for your success. But money is not going to buy you a spot in the lineup and you know that you've been told. Now continue down that road of success with a better attitude. Aloha nui

[@mikevondolteren30]

Wallbangers- new novelty wave in the concussion zone at the cove !

[@JMH33SD]

Skip is a legend!!! Zeke, Skip and the boys are right about the last time LJ Cove. Takes a big West swell and every time to whole town including the News shows up. SD will always be a surf city

Zeke needs to come out with “Oh my lanta” merch

😈😈😈 the stoke session 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈

[@zachnewsom4071]

Best quality backwash sidebar novelty wave I've seen in S.D. is in my local zone in C-bad. Only scored it once though. Backwash that has the potential to offer mini right barrels and diagonals that turn even cross-shore, so you can even ride parallel to the beach not just out-to-sea! 💪💯

[@BodhiNDaddy]

Gnarly swell lines and skip charged it the hardest than the rest. It was cleaner in the 90’s as it was shown in a video called Gravity Suck. Super sick flick overall.

[@HoStevie]

Insane waves!!! This doesn't happen often but when it does.... look out 👀

[@williamparker6649]

Surfed it giant swell of1983 only three of us out.

So a guy borrows a board he's never ridden & paddles out in historic breaks and still the trolls swarm like fleas? LOL! Ben charges a gun hitting the lip - epic! "Cast off the scoffers"!

[@lifesagardendigit2259]

I was hoping for a Marine St/Horseshoe/Rockpiles snipet by the way last vlog ended. Even tho this was way more EPIC 🤙

[@sigalfamily4771]

Don't know about those dropins, Ben...but I've surfed LJ as a visitor and you definitely need to take your waves assertively or you'll just be watching the kelp patches.

Let's GO!!!

[@gregcorby]

18:00 found a couple photos i took of it breaking back in Jan 2017. Maybe 10-15 guys out. That swell was massive, came out of nowhere and caught a lot of people off guard

[@rvmcwhorter]

Two kooks…. Hahaha , that wave looked fun as hell.

[@Minimumholloway]

That novelty wave should be called “Gutterballs”

[@BenGravyy]

Haha that’s awesome

[@stevelindahl8839]

I don't know why all the hype, the waves were mushy close outs, there are a lot of better waves in N. County at all the reefs that were going off, this swell will go down in history as some of the biggest waves we've had in my life time I think the waves that hit New Jersey looked a little scarier then here, Thanks Ben for all your stoke.

[@joeblow1942]

Big ol mush burgers at the Cove.

Legendary 🤙

Call that place the snow plow. Because of the wall shape and the effect it has on the back washer

[@Daniel-lg5dj]

Surprised zeke let you post this, since he is the only one allowed to film and post waves over there

I think the cove broke last year january. But yeah since then, probably 2014

[@Robochop-vz3qm]

Big, cold, and messy. What's so good about it?

Ok...Skip charges ! That's all for now !
