Subzero -8 Surfing in Nova Scotia (Blizzard Conditions)

[@Radxcor83]

Dude, all that falling snow in the clips is so fu*kin sick. One of the raddest sessions you've filmed! As a Fl native, anyone can drop a few dollars on a longboard and surf in nice weather, but surfing in these conditions is a true testament to the love of the sport. I hope I have the chance to shred a spot like this some day.

[@scottmcwave9479]

Super fun waves! 🏄‍♂️ How about no! 🥶

[@Spiderpigg665]

So glad to see you in Canada again Ben. Always welcome here! Bring Jamie with you next time. Lol

[@HoStevie]

*Brother, scoring like this in Canada is ICONIC. Hats off 🤙🏼*

[@AndrewWorkshop]

Recognize a few of those points! Glad you scored some nice waves! The cold keeps the crowds down lol. I drive home and change in the shower.

This is what we love about this channel!

Ben!!! Welcome to Nova Scotia!!!...and you picked just about the gnarliest time of year to be here.! You're in good hands with Logan though...he knows the breaks around here. Never thought you'd come up here bro! What was the motivation?...and this time of year??? Anyhow, have a great time while you're here. Would've been nice to meet you after all these years but I don't want to get in the way of your production and fun. Just cool to know that you're just around the corner from me. I hope you come back sometime in the future during the season that I surf in like May - November. I don't have the gear to get out in the winter and I'm not good enough to surf the breaks where you were. Sorry to hear about Rob and his friend's woes with flying and I hope the waves perk up for them when they finally get out. Stoked that you're here bro. Take care, John 🤙✌

[@funafter5081]

Hey Ben, if you want to come back in the summer, I'd like to invite you to attend a local fun surf comp. Reply if you're interested. No worries if you're too busy but the invite stands just the same. Fan since May 20th, 2017. You're the #1 reason I'm surfing these days! Cheers, John

[@Unfluencer]

glassy, no one out, violin jam, blizzard. well done.

[@bobloblaw1720]

Even with the editing I knew from the thumbnail. Nice job getting up and out there.

[@maximebesson]

It takes a special kind of stoke to get out in those conditions. Thanks Ben for sharing the whole picture. These waves look sick 🤙

[@markdinkel-uh2je]

@@maximebessontrue surfers look for great waves . Don't care about temperature

[@EMan-cu5zo]

Definitely does. I don’t think I could do it myself or want to do it. I can’t stand putting and wearing a wetsuit especially a full suit with gloves boots and head gear. I will wear a spring suit with long sleeves at most. Normally just a rash guard for my stomach and sun.

[@markdinkel-uh2je]

@EMan-cu5zo I tried getting in a pool in February 98 in Gulf Shores Alabama with a 5 mil full body wetsuit. Still couldn't handle it. But it's bearable once you build up the body heat. Even out in the middle of the pacific in Hawaii gets chilly after awhile. Same as Bahamas in May

[@markdinkel-uh2je]

@@EMan-cu5zo hopefully the boots have some grip because surfboard wax has got to be hard in that condition.

[@EMan-cu5zo]

@@markdinkel-uh2je I lived right outside New York on long island for about 9 months mostly during the summer. Waves were surprisingly good so I had to buy a full suit. You can’t really wear a bathing suit with them so I was butt naked but trying to cover myself with a towel on the side of the road. So hard to get on and off especially if still wet. I was worried I would get an indecent exposure charge. Paddling with it was a big difference and was a pain in the butt. Of course this was back in 2007 and I hope they have better more flexible materials. That was the main reason I couldn’t stand it. It kept me warm though because the water was cold and somedays the air temp was in the low 50s during part of my time there. Still have it hanging I’m my closest.

[@hermannadventures8254]

Thats crazy!! I felt cold just watching😂 great images & surf!!🥶🥶

[@doggettstyledogtraining]

no waves here lads... no waves here...

[@GuapLord5000]

I'm sure the nova scotia boys are thrilled.

Your life is looking beautiful Gravy. Keep on keepin on!

[@TheFloppyDonkey]

Stoked! NS is on my bucket list of places to surf.

[@dmac5678]

do it

[@timfatchett4358]

I really like this episode. When I'm pussing out in 40° air 55 degree water. I look at this blizzard and say to myself.( Ben would go!)

[@theambiguoustruth8167]

So good to see Rob back on the vlog!

[@countermoonman]

It looked like a never ending swell…I wish it would snow here in Newport! 🤙🏼

[@Br8sSmOn15eY]

Wow, that is rad. The water has to be a lot warmer than outside ya? Love seeing this. You are awesome.

[@EMan-cu5zo]

Can’t be any colder that’s for sure.

Duuuuuude that vest is 🔥🔥🔥 we gonna get a Ben gravey one🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 for the dream

[@BeLoveHaveFun]

A bit crowded by Canadian standards as soon as there were 3 in the lineup eh? We went somewhere else.... had we known you were Americans we woulda paddled out & hit you with some hardcore localism..... as in, instant respect for anyone else crazy enough to paddle out in a snowstorm sober.

[@BenGravyy]

hahaha epic

[@tonybeatbutcher]

Coool fun !!! By saying cool, maybe cold, maybe very cold, maybe ice cold freaking freezing

[@kokiwebs]

Got Level 8 Luggage as well. Best rolling suitcases ever!

[@FreshwaterFloof]

Always wondered why Ben didn’t go to NS more often. Close enough and has a tonne of spot. Just cold.

[@j5555785]

Ben, they do make warmer places to surf

[@theambiguoustruth8167]

Been wondering when you would do a nova Scotia trip!

[@KevinBrooks-en8ur]

@11:13 "corduroy to the horizon."

[@JesusSavedmylife92]

At first I was questionable considering those conditions myself but then after first wave I was jealous 😂

[@redtruck321]

looks super fun, but shiverpool cold

[@Leo_Purin]

This wave looks funny

[@Bruiser810]

sick

[@AtortAerials]

Luggage is slick I know expensive though? Would have been cool pun intended to send drone up with snow would be epic I would have done it for sure!

[@markdinkel-uh2je]

Gnarly. Hope you got another ws.

[@samuelfox3997]

Yew!

[@drhambone1598]

You know that the conditions are crazy when your camera keeps throwing focus on the snowfall lol

[@MrBurnsMusic]

Hopefully catch a few more rights on the next vlog. Enjoy our cobblestone shores dude.

Where’s the foil?! Holy , perfect waves to rip on a foil

[@richardbergstrom7970]

Fearless claiming is freezing the braining. 🧠

[@shanestimac4340]

If someone can figure out how to prevent brain freeze, winter surfing would be a heck of a lot more fun.

[@kylegullikson6094]

Too cold for the 6/5 Cryo? thats cold

[@EMan-cu5zo]

Thankfully-8 Celsius. Would be suicidal to go out in negative 0 and below f. I am sure people might try it but I would imagine you need a dry suit and that’s still not enough.

[@francisrankin504]

Yo Ben I'm freezing watching from my cozy warm couch your absoutly insane you should replace your pineapple logo to a polar bear logo with a sombraro!!!instead of "for the Dream" it should be "for the frosty"!!!!!!

[@donjuanbeaver]

The trick I always did was put the wetsuit in a hot tub of water and put it on while standing in the tub.

[@mattosful1]

As a tropical country surfer, with nice weather most of the year, I really wonder if I could surf that cold without getting sick.

[@drhambone1598]

Cold weather doesn't cause sickness, it will cause hypothermia

[@nathanpm]

-8°C??? Oh heeeell nah

[@noonieone7026]

I guess "cold" is just "cold"

[@KookSurfing]

You guys are MEN! I find it annoying to have to wear a wetsuit in SoCal.
