My First Time Surfing NAZARE (World Class Big Wave Spot)

Nazare is a world class big wave surf spot. It's THE place in the world that has hosted the biggest wave ever & may potentially be the location for the world's first ever 100ft wave. The best big wave surfers on the planet gather here every Winter & wait for swells and waves that within one single ride, could change their lives forever. I'm here on a day that the waves are about 10ft tall & I'm nervous to even experience that. Wish me luck & THANK YOU for all of the stoke & support! - Ben

Few things 1. Congrats on the wedding. 2. Congrats on 6 years sober (5 years here and agree- life changing). 3. Charging Nazare on a soft top- legend! Lastly, don’t sweat the ring. What made it special is that it represents the bond you now have with Jordan. In reality, it’s just a thing and can be replaced. I have multiple that I change out depending on mood. I even have a $100 Star Wars version that’s engraved with our anniversary date and “The Force is Strong With This One.” The only thing that matters is the meaning behind the ring. Keep living your best life, FOR THE DREAM!!

[@davelangersurfer]

Leaving that ring at Nazaré was a blessing just ask Garrett and Nicole!

[@user-qb6cm4xg6h]

Just sat here with a huge smile, what an experience this must have been dude!!! So incredibly stoked for you Ben!

[@ctrlb4213]

Even on “small” day at this spot the amount of water moving around this spot is mind blowing.

[@AtortAerials]

F’n crazy small looks heavy as f$%k too.

[@barne3668]

ctrib your so right. that water is big, thick and nasty. i can't imagine being egulfed and swallowed by a big nazare monster

Duuuuuuude at 25:40 when I heard those chords to Gutter Drunk’s Poor Me kick in I knew it was about to be a sick edit! Worthy of the throwback, that song kicks ass. So amazing you got to surf at freaking Nazare!! Really not that long ago you were hanging out in FLA with those Gutter Drunk boys. You’ve come a long way and it’s an honor to watch your journey ✌🏽❤️🌊🍍

[@Speenard]

Ah shit, thank you! I could not find the song name - so damn good.

[@killabeebantai4082]

You are a legend. Was looking for the song too

[@jamesliegey9621]

Congratulations on six years sober, your marriage and generally just the enormity of your success. You’ve been a huge inspiration to me, I’m working on 18 months sober. Watching you totally motivates me, I serve more and better now than I ever have before. Portugal looked amazing, I studied in Cadiz, Spain and loved it. And yes, I lost of wedding ring also in the ocean! Have Jordan put the next one on your finger, it will be just as special. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@girtisholland]

A late congrats on 18 months bud. I just hit mine too recently.

[@tammienash2181]

So proud of you on your SOBRIETY!!! Keep taking it one day at a time Ben!! Call the airport (TSA) and tell them to send your ring to you!!! There should have been no reason for them to ask you to remove your wedding ring! I pray you get it back!

[@pteronadon]

So cool seeing Portugal as a special part of your lives, come back as many times as you'd like, I believe everyone here will be glad to have you around! Enjoy life! 🍍🖖

[@user-fm5hk7zq1w]

I think I half jokingly commented after the first big waves in Oregon, "Next stop Nazare!". Jaws next?

[@kimsvideos5270]

Hey Bennie g. I've been sober for 33yrs I get it good to see you again I've been offline for a month my house burned down I lost everything I owned and I'm trying to get my life back now having time to watch all that I subscribe to on you tube thanks for sharing this adventure I needed this yeeeeeeew!!!!!!!!!!

[@japo5760]

You’re a legend, inspirational in your approach to surfing & life in general🤙🙏✌️

[@DonBarber]

This video is going to be right up there with with your top 10 or top 5. Truly awesome to see you charging on the soft top out there.

[@antonandras1451]

Ben this is the best video on KZbin I ever seen. To seen Nazare cliff from the bottom was incredible and riding Nazare on softtop what a man. Big RESPECT 🤙👏

[@nakedladymandalas]

My husband lost his wedding ring the day of the solar eclipse in August 2017. We were at the beach swimming during the event and poof it was gone. It was engraved and everything. He now wears a silicone ring and loves it. Surfs a lot and doesn't have to take it off for TSA

[@sigsta]

Awesome Stuff great content me and my wife moving to Portugal next year from Japan looking forward to it

[@ellengoodman1297]

I watched this and was almost in tears to see you surf Nazare!! McNamara is the man. So happy for you both. Very best wishes to you!!!

Been watching you for the last 2 years and what an inspiration you've been to me! Going on 3yrs sober in January and life only gets better.

So proud of you Ben for being sober for 6 yrs. Now you have a lovely wife that will be by your side through thick & thin. Also, when you were on the jetski going by that huge rock in Nazara; that was so awesome. Thank you & Jordan for taking us on your honeymoon adventure.🌴

[@hanibal5667]

Crazy stuff, Nazare is wild! What is the song called starting at 25:40 ? Its super dope and I couldn't find it in the description.

[@janicemiller7506]

WOW! We watched this video and said "HOLY SHIT!" like 100X excellent video, super brave surfing Nazare, AND filming it the whole time while surfing.

[@gilafunk]

Maybe the most enjoyable Nazare video I've ever seen. Real, down to earth, and way, way fun. And a soft top. Thanks Ben Gravy. And congrats on 6 years. An inspiration on so many levels. 🤙

[@raindogred]

Well done Ben..small Nazare looks like biggest day of the year most other places..and those crazy currents..the vibe is heavy!!!!. And thanks Jordan for getting such epic footage from the clifftop..what a trooper.

[@scottstrasser]

Props to you on your 6 years of sobriety . I didn’t think I could have made 6 days but 25 years later through all the ups and downs it has been an amazing journey . I wish you and Jordan nothing but the best .

Is because Ben surfs with love that the dream is real no ATTITUDE NO BS soul surfer

[@alexmoskowitz4025]

Unlucky on the wedding ring Ben that's a huge bummer :/ Great video and so amazing you got to surf Nazare. I wanted to ask if you could compare this to surfing in Oregon with Will.

Damn. This was a heavy vlog! Living the dream! Love to hear gutter drunk - big throw back to old gravy days!

[@Pinnacle89]

When Gutter Drunk plays in a Ben Gravy vlog, you know it’s about to get real… 🤘🏼Nazare’!🤘🏼

[@guanjames1984]

This guy is absolutely nothing short of a great human being. Not only has he gone through his trials and tribulations and faced his demons, but he has also done in a way to not only better himself but also his fans. Me included. The secondary effect of Ben and his trajectory is that he brings many from around the world watching. We all take a 20-40 minute break out of our lives to sit and watch the fantastic ride he’s on. I'm going to create a gofund page for gravy so we, the fans, can better assist Ben Gravy to make more and more videos like this. Whoever would be willing to support Ben Gravy, let me know. I'm starting a godund for Ben Geavy tonight!

[@Thefergydude]

Big cajones, Big Dog! Even "small" Nazare is super gnarly. You took some terrible beatdowns. Probably has never been surfed on a soft top.

[@ebybbob]

"Why would I straighten out??!" That's called survival instinct Ben - don't think that rail would've held ;)

[@joegibbs2508]

Wow, big smile on my face watching you and Jordan enjoying your lives. It's like a magical land where you forget everything! Great session Bro! Rings and THINGS you care about are no big deal to loose. Just hold on tight to Jordan!!!

[@hbr9427]

wait... what?? 🙌🏼 19:56 that clif view is breathtaking .. so freaking scary dude

[@mikemoloney506]

If your lovely wife is filming she deserves a raise... big swell coming. Hope you stay and see what XXL is

[@tommychype]

That was absolutely awesome 🙌🙌🙌

[@danbross6422]

This vid has it all. Fun, sincere and those “small waves“ are scary.

[@aaronwilliams2080]

Only Ben gravy could shred a soft top at nazare🌊🏄‍♂️ legendary!🤙🏻

[@midliferising]

Love you see it you crush it with Nazare!! As for the wedding ring, I lost mine in Ocean City, New Jersey while surfing right by Gillian's amusement park back in 2000. I remember how broken up that I was so I know how you feel about that. Hopefully they find it and you will be able to get it back. Your message at the end is very inspiring and amazing!! The positivity that you showed literally got me back into the water and started chasing unheard of novelty waves again. Know that you are always supported my friend as you continue your journey!!

[@canal30seg]

So emotional watch this video. It brings me tears. I've been sober for four months and I am feeling so good to be. Thank you for share it. I watched you surfing in fifty states in America, and now this in Nazare so crazy...... If you come to Brazil, lets go surf here where I live in São Francisco Island. Keep it.

[@BenGravyy]

Thanks so much!

[@forzaromafantv2244]

SUCH A CLASS ACT!!! You amaze me by your work ethic and how much you improve! You are a joy! What success! I was in Portugal surfing back in 2018 was a dream from when I was a kid it was such a blast. Some of the best sessions of my life. Your channel and videos pushed me to go and live my dreams thank you!!! Just amazed and wowed!!! Congratulations on Nazare!

[@johnmartin2079]

You did what you set out to do and did it. Brother stick with your plan and it will all come true 👍. Congrats to all your support you have always provided for the nub nation. Many will remember you forever. Peace ✌

Best "You are there" surfing video ever.

[@majorscreative]

Thank you Ben. I am grateful for your inspiration. I chose sobriety coming up on 7 years in March and like you, am very grateful to have made that change and gotten the support I have. No nub nation, but still many amazing people. Thanks for the stoke.

[@raykhahne]

Great to see you also had a great time in Portugal. We missed us about 7 days. We stayed there for 10 weeks with the family. Hope you come back with your kids next time 🤙

[@thatguy1733]

I just watched this while I couldn’t sleep and Ben, I think today is the day I go sober. I drink 10 shots of whiskey a day and smoke about an ounce of Nug a month. As I lay here semi hungover, my liver hurts, my kidneys hurt, I worry that I’m on the edge of liver failure. I believe that if I don’t stop, I’ll be dead in under a year and I really want you to know that I’m appreciative of your honesty. Thanks Ben and I pray that I too can beat this demon. Cheers

[@terrybrown8249]

In my opinion in the last 3 yrs I've been following Ben this is by far my favorite video! Thanks for the stoke!

[@frankmanresa1]

Those might have been smaller waves than normal but some of them looked scary. I was thinking about how nervous Jordan must have been watching.
