Tow Surfing 50ft+ Hawaii Biggest Swell in Years (I'm Terrified)

This Hawaii trip has completely nuts! First I get injured, then somehow we're here for what locals are calling the biggest swell in years with 50ft+ Surf & then we score the most epic Waimea River ever!? What is going on!? It feels like the Twilight Zone & I'm limping it off as I go, but I'm stoked to be spending some time on the North Shore & scoring some waves as we go! Thanks for all the love & stoke!! - Ben

Holy hell Ben! So stoked and psyched for you! What an absolute best and biggest middle finger to anybody that ever called you a kook on Jamie's comment section. We all know you're the real deal and you never had to prove anything to us, but damn it man, you just showed more balls than most of us will ever have and we're all so proud of you. What an experience and it's so cool to see how grateful and humble you are. I'm sure Mack was tripping as well. Mahalo and we all love you brother. Thanks for sharing your journey. You'll never know how much you inspired me to get back in the water 5 years ago after I was out with knee and back injuries for 4 to 5 years. Great blessings will continue to come your way

Dude. It takes balls, confidence and commitment to surf waves of consequence. Ben was great, just like he was in Oregon.

[@dreichert1438]

And the virus was a tool used to get us used to being controlled. Though it is a very real thing and I have seen family suffer. Thank God there's some free thinking and positive people out here so we can keep each other up and going. There is still so much of God's Beauty out there to experience, you just have to go looking for the good and put the bad on the Shelf whenever possible. Blessings to you

[@daytradingintothefuture4589]

This is the craziest Ben Gravy yet. It has been an amazing evolution from watching you catching crumbs & feezing your ass off in NJ, to surfing Slater's surf ranch, to riding Pipe, and now this. You are blessed. The stoke IS "real" and it is contageus. Keep living your dream and be safe!

Wow Ben. It has been something else to see your progression over the past few years. You respect the fear and embrace the challenges. You’re making us Jersey folk unbelievably proud. I mean, what’s next?? Jaws? Because frankly, that’s not really a stretch to envision. I’d LOOOVE to see that.

[@martinbonniciphotography]

BIG DOG!!! What I loved about this clip is how everyone works together, it couldn't work any other way. Also in the past I have seen smarmy comments saying when are you going to go out in some real surf. Today you shut mouths just by pushing yourself. Seriously, I am sure all of the people that want to see you do well are very happy for you. Big props to JOB Kalani those guys are amazing.

Dude, dude, duuuuude! I literally cried during the outro. As I was watching I was thinking about how far you’ve come since I first started watching 5+ years ago. To be where you were and who you were with just doesn’t happen to surfers from NJ. You’ve grinded so hard to get to this point and through out you have always stayed true to who you are and to the Nub Nation. You have earned your spot amongst the legends my friend. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier for someone I don’t know on a personal level. Keep pushing yourself and stay safe out there. As always, thanks for taking us along for the ride. It gives me great joy to watch ✌🏽❤️🌊🍍🤙🏽
