This is the BEST man-made Novelty Wave in America!

This is the best! Soaky Mountain water park in Tennessee by far blew my expectations of what this "surf trip" was going to be like. When I agree to surfing weird waves like this I usually have no idea what to expect & it can be scary. But, when we saw that lazy river turn on we knew the stoke was ON!!! Thanks for everything Nub Nation!! FOR THE WIN!! - Love Ben

So epic that surfing has been given to these locals, it’ll change their lives.

My favorite thing about this!

[@johnholliday5952]

looks like a lot of youths will be calling in "sick" at work cause it's "FIRING"... thing is 🤔 as long as Soaky is working it will always be "FIRING"!! 🏄‍♂️🤙

[@teem1653]

It is pretty damn awesome just wish covid wasn't around more places like this would go up even in surf towns but the crowds won't be there until a year or two and itll lose so much money :(

[@hi808afstate4]

Our way of of measuring is completely different. 2-3ft=4-6ft we measure the back of the wave that’s it. But Hawaii has adopted face feet and it messed us all up lol. So now in Hawaii we just call the boys around the island

[@darylzepeda3512]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@Jim-fe2xz]

That place is awesome! Lots of variety - the designers and builders really nailed it! Not for "the elites" maybe but plenty of fun for everyone. Best of all the water is clear and blue!

The heart and soul of the the Ben Gravy YT Channel - Novelty Epicness. Glad you scored made me laugh and be stoked, all at once. FTW/Living the Dream/Fully Nuking -all the bases are covered. Bravo, Mr. Gravy, Bravo. You need to come out and conquer this perfect tanker wave see on the Ca. Delta on occasion - fickle one but like a reverse J-Bay when firing...mini, of course, but literally perfect when firing.

[@BenGravyy]

haha! Yes, thanks so much

[@palomares.webador]

The grand question is: Will they actually allow surfing, bodyboarding, BYOB? How often and how much?

[@n0-one0]

I live in East TN and I went to Soaky Mountain over the weekend. My first thought upon checking out the "lazy" crazy river was "this could be surfed". I haven't seen any evidence that the park will allow the public to surf there as of yet, but the fact that the wave machine manufacturers reached out to Ben to test it out is a good sign in my view.

[@mmatthews61687]

At some places, like Disney (I believe Typhoon Lagoon) , they run the wave pool normally during the day but hold surfing lessons in the morning before it opens.

[@hunterdavis3003]

Damn dude those bomb drops were siiiiick! This place looks so fun

[@BenGravyy]

Thanks so much!

[@normjs45]

Epic test ! This is what you do !!! Testing grounds for potentially another plaque with your name on it. Tested and approved by none other than Ben Gravy. Legendary. Yew ! For the win.

[@blitztim6416]

That river wave is cool. But they gotta work on that wave pool. Like Huntington shore break on a bad day.

[@RockDodger]

You look in your element.. That grin is proof, If you ever needed it that "The Dream Is Real".. Nobody more deserving in the surfing community in my opinion.. Much love from the UK Brother Gravy :)
