Gulf of Mexico runs in my veins, learned to surf there. I'm 72 now and living vicariously thru you guys. Happy to see you including tanker surfing in Galveston!

Yeah buddy!!! You the man my friend!! Thank you for taking me along on your trip!! No sleep till Norway!!

30 years ago I moved to Galveston for college and I bought a 10ft long board and started surfing, and even though I've lived inland for years I still look for that novelty wave every chance I get. Thanks fir keeping the stoke high!

My board was shaped by captain James, he’s the man. Welcome to the dirty G!

Gravey’s board was crafted by jack sparrow himself, welcome to legendary🤣🤣🤣

That was awesome seeing James Fulbright. He had the best surf shop in Galveston when I was surfing in my late teens and early 20’s, I’m 54 now…. Good luck on the rest of your journey Ben! Thanks for taking us along for the ride…

What shop was it?

I love the Ozzie’s.. their enthusiasm, hospitality and good looks. The hat was such a sweet gift. I’m hoping today the mission has been successfully completed and that you are catching up on some much needed rest and Dennis/ J Vern cuddles. Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds! No..Sleep..Til Norway..Norway!! ❤️from VT

Tanker surfing with the OG's

You are an amazing inspiration for millions of people 🤙

Good to see the future superstar of surfing Erin brooks

Saw you and Hob in AC last Saturday. Wish I said what's up and thank you. Your vids for years now have brought positivity into my life which is so hard in this crazy negative world. I don't know why, they just do. Thank you!

Good ole James Fulbright. Guys a legend

Congratulations man and welcome back!! That was a awesome video this whole trip has seemed like you are finding the fun and joy of the search again! Stay safe and keep shredding the gnar🤙

Stylin with the "Hoff Run" and Bondi - classic! I guess the insecurity bug "I have to prove I'm powerful" is everywhere - even for Australian airline employees (not just the DMV where i have to go today LOL) Rest up - only 2 to go! Travel safe!

The beauty of cold water surfing is that, no matter how tired you might be, when you dive under that first wave paddling out, survival mode kicks in and you instantly forget about being tired.

You're a warrior Ben. I've done a lot of long flights and they're brutal. Love the channel

Loving your journey, thanks for sharing it.

Welcome to Texas! I live close to Galveston and I’m sorry I missed the opportunity to come say hello.

Ben, you’re an inspiration.

The actual Tanker Surfing begins at 13:36.

Good to see you in Australia mate , actually heading down Melbourne tomorrow night from Newcastle nothing like your doing but I’m heading down Tasmania to check out some waves . Really enjoying your travels

You can ride anything, I've seen it man!!! Cracked me up!!!! For the dream baby!

You are pushing the limits and living the dream the true essence of life is to push yourself to achieve greatness. Legendary!

1st tanker wave. Didn’t even get he’s hair wet. Just Gravy! Plenty of stoke here for you. Keep going. Whoooop!

So fun!! So inspiring!!

Thank you RedBull for making this happen!

The growth of the L E G E N D continues. Love the vlog. Yewwwwwwww

Wow!! Nice one, keep it going crew! Totally awesome, the boys at bondi where on full stoke, loved it ( brilliant) only 2 to go 🤙🤙

Dreamer Power! BEN, heavy claims, bro!

Ur the man Ben! Keep it gravy!👊

Nice work Dr.!!

Wow Sydney turned up for you Ben!! What a hero’s welcome. Pure stoke man.

Great seeing Erin Brooks ... she's one of the best women surfers upcoming...

This is so cool you guys awesome stuff!! 🏄‍♂🙂

Stoke levels are maxing!!!

Inspirational brother!

You're really doing it!!!!

Nice hat! Ben Gravy the novelty hunter!🤙

Tanker surfing is OffTheChain⛓️ I told you it’s fuck Af! And you only got it like a 3 out of 10! Let’s go back soon when it gets warm again🙌

G-town baby!!!!!!

Stoked for you to rock the rest of your quest! And then sleep 🥱

Yewww!! Man on a mission 🤙🏽

Great going Gravy man. All that and Supergirl Erin in tandem. A stokeathon to be followed by a sleepathon I reckon. Good on red bull they back all the rad dudes out there. Very entertaining benny boy 💪

That was sick. Also Australian rips are no joke! I got stuck in a few.

This is so EPIC!

Well , that was rad!

Been there, exactly there, done that, congrats, I loved the experience in the G Bay

dude sick video you should do a red bull counter all of the red bulls on the trip

You can do it!

GO BEN!!!!

I met you in Puerto Rico last February 🤙🏼 I love your videos

they say the best surfer is the one having the most fun ben is world champ then

Legend!!

Earned my subscription, you are so gnarly

Hat looks great!

Finally!!

You got me psyched to grab a red bull and get up for 1-2 foot Bondi drainers 🤙 yeeew gravy train for the win

Magical!

Needs to be fully sponsored by Red Bull with a couple milllll. For the dream!

living life!

I got a story about first time going out from Sydney, almost exactly the same reaction from female airport checkout, all I asked was 1 question. Things have not changed since 1974. It is probably worse. Go Ben onward to the goal.

Churr boys and girls amazing times 🤙

Proud of you Ben.

Another STOKE episode🎉🎉!!

That’s a bloody nice Akubra brah!!

Given the tough times post COVID and all of the drama associated with airlines, abusive customers, and the like, you'd think that a passenger carrier might like to be a sponsor of some type for a video series like this. It would be great advertisement for them.

Very enjoyable video, kudos. Been there done that. Grab the local Frye and a Dewey Weber with a hatchet skeg and be all set, Texas style, and we were hungry for any swell above 3 ft! Ship speeds were different back then, along with the dredging. There was a shallow beach break at the north end that was rarely active, but had shape when the winds came from NE. One day at the Flagship pier, my buddy said, "Hey, that's my dad up there!" (hand waves), as we watched him reel in what would later be discovered as a record hammerhead. The Bulls are more predominant in the area though, due to the water clarity.

Love the Akubra hat

Yay Ben Gravy! Boo mean airport lady! For the dream!

Sick waves

Nice wave powerful 😊

SO STOKED! 😱🤓🤠

What would be a interesting video is Ben getting some training from maybe a top female longboard rider . Many shorter board and male riders miss many of the fun maneuvers a longboard has to offer and for Ben who rides knee high waves quite a bit it might be a fun vlog to see the transformation . Now Jamie O'Brian could benefit also . His girlfriend is a talented longboard rider .

Nice touch with the ZZ Top

STAY STOKED! GNAR !

For the Dreams I'm so happy for you 💪🍍🤙🌊🌊🏄‍♂️🌊🌊🌊

its an honor having you in galveston sir

Perfect Hat!

We need a redbull count for those 7 days 😂

She’s rad!!

kick it man your killing it

@0:36 This sounds like a really familiar storyline from somewhere! You aren't visiting the banks in the middle of the night to fund these awesome trips are you?😜

This has to be one of the best, Hey you ever hear of...... "That Guy"... Stories in the world!🤙 7in7 huh!? What!?

Hello from TEXAS!

Springtime in bondi isnt it? Warmer water. Yew!

Wooohooo Yeeeaahhh ✅✅✅✅✅

You gotta make it to South Padre for a hurricane swell at some point. Couple of novelty gems & bombs at the same time. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Thanks for the globe trotting stoke Admiral Gravy! FOR THE DREAM!!

That hat is for the dream!

I had a bag agent trying to call me out on my carry-on it was a soft backpack, only had clothes, I put it on that little tiny square box and my 240 lb ass stood on it and crammed it in there. Loved every minute of it thank you.

That was AMAZING, but I thought Ben was going to Norway too.
