The Best Wave is Bristol, England!?

Rolling up to The Wave in Bristol, England I truly didn't know what to expect. I've surfed Wave Garden Cover technology before, but I'd heard a lot of rumors & stories about the wave pool in England. As a novelty wave connoisseur, I knew I had to investigate the waves myself. Surfing out here was above & beyond what I ever thought it could be & I'm extremely honored by the invite to visit a world class wave pool in the middle of the English Countryside! Thanks for the stoke, I hope you enjoy the video & I'm looking forward to bringing more stoke as the week goes on! FOR THE DREAM! - Ben

I think what REALLY makes these vlogs is your talent with editing. Not one boring or superfluous moment. Thanks, as always

[@gauthierrichard5649]

For your camera flickering problem, switch to 50hz. This is the lighting standard in Europe

[@BenGravyy]

Thank you. Insightful

[@RobSymington]

So in camera terms, shutter speeds that are 1/50, 1/100 etc of a second (divisible by 50)

[@LewyJon]

Jordan is killin it! Really enjoying her on the show. Keep up the great work guys!

[@BenGravyy]

Thank you!

[@nosman5229672]

Idk why but for some reason I haven’t seen most of your vids since that KZbin issue you had a while back. Glad to be back, glad you’re still living the dream! Yew🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@Punt_tv]

I’d have to say I think that’s some of the best surfing I’ve seen you do in a wave pool, absolutely ripping on the twinny ! England looks sick, Ya Ben killer vlog. As always the dream is alive and well ! Your buddy from south OC Cali, Alby, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🤙🏼

[@jasonpacific5661]

Wow! you were so fortunate to go to a Waldorf School. It's proven to launch creativity and positive self expression.. which is what Ben Gravy IS. You own the Stoke 🌅

[@ianski65]

Great to have you two in jolly old blighty and thanks awfully for swinging by Kernow, appreciate that. So sweet to see you chaps lapping up the British culture, Im really digging the attempts to sound British, you know what? at times it really is very good. All in all the videos are splendid, good for you 🤙🏽 y’all come on back now y’hear 🤩🙏🏾 greetings from Essex UK ( kernow ex-pat BTW)

[@Viking-Surfer]

Awesome video at the wave. The music choice for the afternoon tea at the castle got me! 🤣🤣 …Looking forward to the next vlog! 🤙🏼

[@josephfiola412]

Love your videos, such great energy. When I need to smile I type in Ben Gravy.

[@robertbaughman4776]

Dude did you get Taj Burrow to stunt double for you!? Especially the last session in this vid, very Taj-esque energy! You're ripping!

[@minidawgwestwood]

Awesome to see you rock up at The Wave while I was working. Such a nice guy in person, you were mid filming but took time to chat. Thanks man 🙏🤙

[@TidyDawg]

12:18 - highlight of my life hands down, what a honour that’s the real claim right there!

[@tombell6076]

Sick to see you guys hitting The Wave up 🇬🇧🏄🏼‍♀🏄🏼🌊. I did the advanced session in January when it first opened water was about 7 degrees not sure what that is in Fahrenheit but is was interesting ❄❄❄. You definitely picked the best time of the year to do it. Ps Swell has returned to the South West this week 😂😉

[@amberpasche8459]

What

[@tombell4079]

@@amberpasche8459 Everything ok ???

[@melissaflood505]

Ben you remember me mentioning Newlyn harbour wall well this breaks very similar to that that’s down in PENZANCE on the south coast….. I don’t know if anything I’ve seen so far is the actual Inside Out barrelling madman that I’ve been told about but I can tell you that Newlin harbour wall with a decent size swell on it is definitely barrelling more than that so next time when you come back in the winter wait for that big south-westerly swell😎

[@joshtraceysurfing]

Yeah JVern! That’s so sick, good on you for hitting the wave pool, I’ve surfed the one here in Australia a few times and found it a bit scary - you killed it! 🤙🏻

[@slashtrio]

Ben always shreds on that little softie. It’s like he’s skateboarding. Nice like lip bashes and cool laybacks. Good style 👍🏼😎

[@myboogietv9405]

Haha. Great to meet you and share some laughs and shacks for the Dream. Looked like you had some fun... Enjoy the travels. Yeeeww 🤙🤙

[@mwalker9284]

That segment + music at 9:17 is golden. 🤙 Perfect shots of that tiny tube 👌

[@katherinehayward4082]

Great vibes with all the locals!! That looked so fun at the castle!! The Dream is on!!!

[@ahbwisurfnpaddle]

Driving on the wrong side of the car....(?), and JORDAN scoring rides ! Right ON !

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Oh Ben you are meant to have a cup of tea with your afternoon tea not a Latte. Hope you are enjoying our country. Not best time of year for big stuff but Cornwall and North Devon can be awesome. Enjoy.

[@evan6920]

Jordan’s crushing it!

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Jordan is doing great! Of course Ben is doing great as always. Take it easy on that knee! BTW I just saw a report about a new treatment from Scripps for knee ligament repair that sounds very promising - a lot less invasive. Somehow helps the ligaments repair themselves..... Travel safe and Stay Stoked!

[@vwbustube]

Full glamping! Very noice, and the waves not bad either! J Vern nails her pop up, and it’s on…. So close. Keep it up!

[@jenniferc925]

thank you for sharing....never been to Europe but now I will absolutely hit the Bristol wave pool when I get to go there. great video... always inspiring!!!

[@markrosenquist8259]

You definitely have the hair flip back out of the barrel move down😂. Just breaking balls. Cool video!🙌🤙

[@LudwigHohlwein1974]

Glad you got to enjoy some local sights. Great vid and some rad moves guys. Much love from Bristol. Cheers

[@sorinholland4]

That layback though... 👀🌊🍍🤙🏻

[@kirktaylor4954]

Ben you are unflappable. the dream must have some Big Bang upside to it. well done you.

[@j3f423]

So glad the j Vern is getting stoked to surf lately she’d confidence is way up now much respect ✊ keep on surfing j Vern you going to be shredding more and more

[@tommyurquhart1981]

Bless y'all's hearts y'all are having so much fun

[@jimdoyel5044]

Enjoying watching your Brit Trip. I wanna see Jordan on some gnarly rollers in a wave pool, doin' some cut backs and spending some time under the chandeliers. Skip the part where you go to your knees after catching the wave Jordan; go right to your feet! : ) Wherever you're at Ben, you bring the stoke with you. Good stuff. SoCal

[@will.barnish]

So glad Ben took a trip here!!! Epic video Ben 🤙🤙👏

[@wozzer296]

Was on the Thursday 7pm adv+, thought there was something familiar about you! Great season, your third of the day, you were all over it, I wasnt. Just by chance a friend sent me an unconnected clip of you riding the Severn bore and I eventually put two and two together. Hope you had a great time in the UK Ben, all the best

[@jameshodge4602]

Awesome to see you and Jordan ripping at the wave 🤙 I was there at Christmas was very cold then !! But great fun! Keep up good work ! 🤙🤙🤙

[@30yearoldgrom]

Loved your reaction when you first rocked up to the wave🤣 It sure is a gnarly car park and the walk down is a killer😁. I can't wait to see more of you guys travelling the world. 🤜🍍🤛

[@captaincaveman365]

Yo Yo Yo! Living the dream in my home country dude!! Loving this The Wave! Didn't even know it existed. Defo gonna hit that up!. Ps if you wanna stop the camera flickering? Change the camera setting from NTSC to PAL!!! UK lights are tuned to PAL my brother. Thats the claim hahahaha... Keep living the dream! Peace...

[@andrewiangillies]

Loving seeing you guys in the UK....the North Devon beaches are beautiful if you are still around.

[@oceanwoods]

Been fun to watch Ben significantly improve his surfing and come into his own style, these past 8 years. He has continued to work towards being an athlete, and not just leveling out in the rock star life.

[@kenmckinley1526]

Another nice vid. You definitely have the catchiest music intro on youtube.

[@ETYSURF]

The wave Bristol is the best. Glad you enjoyed it Ben you was ripping

[@johnnymorris8294]

You made it despite the roads and the traffic and the weather. Great edit as always - you guys are obviously stoked on it all - castles and claims - and it's a joy to watch.

[@benrudge66]

As someone who lives in Bristol defo recommend doing this for anyone who comes to the UK

[@noonieone7026]

It looks like very manageable wave. Good fun!

[@jamesbateman5264]

Envy, and Enjoy watching your videos. I went surfing V. B. Yesterday and it was firing like always! 🏄🏻 🍍

[@beng7269]

Music for cream tea at the castle was on point. Full Medieval vibes 😂.

[@andrewshantz9136]

“Shred Lord” love that!

[@staz6530]

Ben you should have gone to Jersey island and surfed there New Jersey is named after the island of Jersey!...next time🤣🤙

[@iondavila7661]

lmao when i heard that castle music you threw i there i fell off my bed laughing so hard. .ahhh yall the best no doubt about that

[@ryanhood4027]

y'all helped a young man out through a hard time a year or two back. thank you.

[@firedchiefpaul]

You and J. Verni make me smile...a lot.

[@LordFlashheart1]

Ace, another dream ticked of the list

[@stephenhancock3225]

Cawwww Cream Tea looked awesome. Yum. Watch out for the history though, it can get pretty addictive. I am not going back to Oz ever probably, because I like communing with the Goblins at one of the many stone circles & I have my uncrowded novelty waves & sick wingfoil downwinding spots with plenty wind. Sell up & come & join us in Blighty ! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙's for your Vlog

[@minidawgwestwood]

Yes Phil Williams making the video!! Big up adaptive surfing UK 🤙

[@JohnnygSawyer]

"truly scrumptious" dying 🤣😂🤣

[@roberthilliard9435]

Aloha Ben Gravy sic vlog totally shredded the ×××× out ov it Aloha n mahalo 💯🤙🤙🤙🏄‍♂️👣😎

[@DrFunkBass]

always gotta bring a skateboard

[@sayitaintsl0w]

Herman’s Hermits sung Henry the 8th. It’s a killer tune which I would have gladly sung along to with Ben. Once it’s in your head it’s very hard to stop singing..especially with a British accent. Jevern missed out on that one.

[@TrueSurfOfficial]

Looks so much fun!!!🌍

[@cato451]

Awwwww, what a cute little wave. Looks like you had fun!!

[@MartialArtUK]

🥳🤙fully nuking mode at the wave Bristol! wish I could have joined you, but at least surfs up in north devon tomorrow 🥳

[@brennoncrossingham5943]

Heaps prettier seeing her smile go J vern u can do it getting better. 😇🙏😁

[@ianseaweed]

Hehehee, gotta get Mrs. Gravy on a skate for the cruise down to the wave next honey moon Chief… and setting Waikiki Plus.

[@brennoncrossingham5943]

You do so well not to crack up at her ur a top bloke mate you know what we want to see and its not negativity, for the dream bro. 😇🙏😁👌

[@helanabubblyblob9326]

Was great to watch you both in the UK. Yes the traffic is dreadful...but hope you come back some time.

[@charlieduvall6463]

You should have J Verne just boogie down the line and get familiar with riding the wave and then start to stand up after getting that wired. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Good times For the Dream

[@will.barnish]

As a British person, I can confirm that exact tune plays when you enter castles

[@CaptMac-zw8mz]

Great to see you living your best life! Get some!!

[@TxShoreDog]

You were being the brat, Jordan! I too had a lot of strange quirky things like that. Definitely has an impact on your personality. Id say it was for good in that particular situation. The jersey was thick in the dog eat dog segment!

[@cheriekreusel9453]

I think they need a dude in period costume running around the castle like he is hiding from someone chasing him. Like interactive, y'all could help him get away. Cool video, peace

[@christopherpeterraby]

boogie shred killing it

[@tonifitz6831]

As a brit, I have to ask... did you have fish and chips? And afternoon Tea? I would have been stoked to run into you.. The Gravy and his beautiful wife Jordan in the U.K.. excellent.. I love the thought of a tiny Ben.. "I am here Mrs Gray".. its funny which things stick in our minds xx

[@sueyoung8697]

Those cabins were really awsome

[@therealmamamellow]

Nice to meet you guys 💙

[@Sp4wnK3lla]

Nice filming JVerni!

[@ianlewis4613]

Wow. Ben Gravy in the west country!

[@peterbrockettjr6163]

I just got busted trying to surf the CM ferry. I did not know that I was violating a Coast Guard rule . Ben should mention this warning.

[@ecofly]

Enjoying your travels in UK - great vibes! "Whats your claim?" seems to be catching us Brits out! I found contact lenses don't work well in fresh water surf spots, although ok in the Sea!

[@MiddleagedGrom]

Another cool vlog guys yeeewww

[@AK-ms5zk]

“Sic bruh” 😅, she’s cheeky ✊🏽

[@motokenzo763]

The Brits love their Gravy on bangers and mash.

[@youarewhatyoulistento2432]

fair play MR gravy. The take off at the wave is pretty funky and you dialed that for the dream! must be all the sike juice your drinking!!! if you by any chance end up near oxford on your royal travels you must go to coffee Columbia in the covered market. Its the best coffee in the UK!!!

[@pcmmemories]

Reppin' the Heritage tee at the end!

[@phaethon3124]

is the line up less crowded on the left?there was snowboard survey that said 40% are goofy but maybe even less.maybe25%.europe is predominantly right breaks

[@rustycomer8502]

Best-lookin photographer on KZbin!!!

[@maxkelter3561]

Nice to see different breaks of waves in Mexico. I know lots of places there hardly surfed. Surfing safari....

[@richpalmer3037]

Epic! Absolutely epic...
