The Scariest BIG WAVES I've Ever Surfed

Over the past 4 years I've been lucky enough to experience some big wave surfing. Today I highlight the scariest big waves I've ever surfed & discuss my recent venture to the world premiere big wave surf spot Nazare. I'm honored to be able to share my story with the world. THANK YOU Nub Nation for all of the overwhelming support! - Ben

I was so proud when the Novelty King went out in Oregon that day. You're well deserving of each and every one of those 150,003 subscribers.

[@BenGravyy]

Thanks so much!

[@Campfacer]

hell yeah from RI! I'm 46 I grew up surfing but haven't surfed in about 15 years and with my back problems and slightly over weight I'm trying to exercise this winter and get back on a board! You are so Inspiring!

[@843cory]

Gotta hit ruggles!!!

[@michaeljoseph2303]

I’m 75 rehabbing a shoulder injury. Grew up in California started surfing at 12 can remember being the only guy in the water at that age. Developed ocean skills with a junior lifeguard program. Looking fwd to getting back in the water. I enjoy your inspiration heartfelt takes with life and surfing🏄🏼‍♂️

[@oceanwaves83]

Good stuff dude. Born in 1946? Respect.

[@vincent702]

Hope your back in the water now man!

[@jpoldcasurferdude7262]

65 years old stopped surfing at 59 (moved to Missouri) started surfing at 9. Ben you are by far the best vlog source for kicked back surf video and life style. Thanks for being you Merriest Christmas

[@raindogred]

I have been watching since you were sleeping on ur mom's couch, your sister was still living at home, your mum had all those little puppy dogs and kitties, sasquastch was annoyed at being filmed all the freakin' time, Tucker was living in a junk house, and Jordan may have given your last known haircut in 2017/early 2018 out at your Dad's house??? pretty sure seen every episode since and watched your channel and surfing ability grow..amazing ride dude. Congrats on 150k you deserve it .

[@Dhunatmik]

I've been following right around the time you turned 40k subs. Haven't surfed for 40 years but this is a great way to re live my surfing days and vicariously enjoy the thrill again. Way to go... Ben and Jordan....👍🙏❤️

[@theajane6444]

150,000 subscribers...PLUS 3! Congratulations, Ben. You warm my heart ❤!

[@kg-4062]

Nice. Love your honesty about surfing big waves. We so regularly see pro's hitting up 30ft ers and don't hear the back story. I surfed Nazaré at 6-8ft and got destroyed !! Can't imagine it at 30ft+.

[@georgecornwellv1130]

One of your best vlogs. Very descriptive. Congrats on 150k.

[@familytravels2999]

Dude, I love your story-telling, thanks for documenting your experiences for our entertainment.

[@canopybreezesoutdoors4916]

Great recap AND it’s been a fun ridin’ with you to 150K. Some of us have been here a long time Ben. Can’t wait to hit 1M with you!

[@BenGravyy]

Thanks so much !!

[@robdobson5056]

Crazy big waves in Hawaii. Much respect!

[@midliferising]

What is really awesome is that all of us subscribers were in for the ride. I remember rooting you on in the vlogs on almost all of your vlogs!!! Keep crushing Legend!!

[@mikeletzring2274]

Thank you for being so real with your experiences in surfing. I look forward to your upcoming days surfing in 2022. Mahalo nui loa

[@darrynkushman1]

You are a Strong Surfer and make great videos , Thanks Ben

[@keithallison3756]

Loved the insight on your big bomb progression man. I remember when you were here in Oregon & watching (vlog) you send it on our coast. Can't believe you cut your teeth hear still!! True ambassador for surfing & more so living the dream Ben. Stoked for you man!! Keep sending it. Yeeeewww 🤙

[@deborahjenrich7045]

I love that you expose your fears rather then hiding them. If you have no fear of big waves you are not human. Fear is what keeps you safe when doing things like this. Take this advice from an x miner who used to fix under ground cave ins. Fear is your friend. Using my wifes computer Bruce.

[@newglorydays-yu6bb]

Inspirational and well done on you're surfing journey of 2021.

[@philiprowland9390]

Fantastic story, Ben!… so well told and delivered, at every stage! Wishing all your dreams for 2022 come to be - you’re an inspiration - no wonder you hit 150k!😎👍👌🙏

[@dreichert1438]

Congrats on the 150, you deserve it my friend. Make sure you spend plenty of time with your new bride over these holidays. When I first got married around the same time of year, my dad told me not to go on a family trip being newly married, and leave my bride. I did it anyway and things we're definitely weird when I got back. Wasn't a good way to start things off. Just my two cents from experience my friend.

[@joefinley62]

Thanks for all the stoke! Liked your perspective on big wave surfing

[@BenGravyy]

Thanks Joe !

[@iamjnelson]

Congrats on 150k - been watching for a few years and it's been cool to see you go from East Coast novelty waves, to the 50 states (still epic), to big waves around the world including Nazare. Thanks for sharing your stoke, it's been great to watch you grow.

Great video, Ben. Thank you for taking us on these journeys with you. The first time saw you was when you were surfing those big waves with JOB. I followed your channel after that and freaked out that you were from NJ like me. Keep living the dream.

For someone who is a regular Joe you give inspiration and fly the flag for all of us other regular Joe’s. I am simply in awe that you have attempted big wave surfing. It cannot be underestimated how much courage you have compared to those who spend most of their lives preparing for big wave surfing. Keep charging Kingy from Australia 🇦🇺

Your awesome, bringing Big wave surfing to the average person from an average person. I was a California surfer from the 60s and 70s we ONLY dreamed what I could be like being pulled in by a boat. Tow surfing didn't begin for another 15 year's...
