I love that you talk about how hard surfing is and sometimes you're lucky to get just one ok wave in a session. I explain it to nonsurfers like this. You can't just decide you're going to go surfing when ever you want. If the waves are good or even ok you go. If you are a beginner you have to learn when and where the waves are breaking and how to paddle into one at just the right place, time and direction. Then you gotta get the timing of popping to your feet just right without leaning to far forward (you pearl) or to far back (you miss the wave). If it's really big it takes a lot to just paddle out. This keeps it safe. If you can't make it outside, you shouldn't be out. Even when you are good you can either get caught inside a big set or sit to far out to catch anything. Recently I've had a problem getting into waves when the wind is blowing hard offshore, and I've been surfing for almost 40 yrs. If you compared surfing to snowboarding or skiing it would be on slopes only after a good snow (no snow machines). You'd have to crawl up the hill on your hands and knees. You'd have to sit in the snow till it was your turn and then push yourself with your hands down the hill till you got fast enough and do a push up and pop to your feet. No bindings just hope your feet landed on the skis or snowboard just right. The only thing easier with surfing is wiping out. I'd much rather fall in water than hit the hard ground, except you'll never drown on the ski slope.

The Dream Stream!

Love the stoke!

What a cool narrative and vid

For the dream Ben you will be back before you know it nub nation for the win ❤😊

Words of Wisdom for the day, "Hold on, Point & Pray." 💪💥❤

What you said around the 14 minute mark is so true, and I personally will try to remind myself of this every time I surf. Well said Ben, your enthusiasm and positivity for surfing is fantastic, and hopefully infectious. Hope to see you out there in the water one day!

Totally agree about riding any size wave is rad! Love the video Ben

Love your videos and your surfboards, thanks for this amazing content

Really fun to look back on some great breaks, but humbly I'm still in Awe and will probably always be on that 20' Jersian drop and turn with the Soft Top! Epic!!!

Good to see you Brother! Enjoyed every video and me and my family sending you lots of love and aloha! Hope to see you in La Jolla Shores this winter. All the best and keep them coming. We love to see you surfing, but most of all we love to see you happy and healthy with a wonderful wife, a wonderful pup and most of all living the dream.

East Coast, Mid Atlantic rippers! Nothing better.

Yew stoked on this video!!!

Best of luck! I know you'll be back in the water soon!

Big waves are very humbling. Stay safe BG!! Gulf swell soon

I was boogie board surfing at St. Augustine Beach on Sunday and it was fun. I've been doing it for almost 30 years here in Florida.

You are an excellent videomaker

The Sunset take off was good and the last barrel, but the waves at Oregon looked bigger than Waimea ,which was the smallest I’ve ever seen it.

I remember everyone of these waves 😂 I been watching awhile

Lets go ur videos give me power to be happy at work. I love wak8ng up to this thanks ben

Yaaaa Ben! Love your energy bro You’ve caught some amazing waves

Great content!!

Excellent highlights. I have ridden waves. So i Speak your language. You are a great ambassador of the sport The stoke the psyche the dream the aloha spirit . All boxes are checked... ☆☆☆☆☆ !!!

"Catching anything and riding anything is rad." Yes, that comes across in your videos!

Oh my brother interrupted me watching your best waves. That’s ok because I’ve seen most of them. I like all your content. I wish I had past videos of me surfing to watch from 30 😢years ago but it’s fun to watch yours. I’m visiting my cousin in Laguna Niguel. Maybe you’ve been in his shop in town? Costa Azul Surfboards. He’s got a signed poster of you. On the shop wall. He took me out and we surfed on almost bare rocks in front of his place there. I would not be able to surf if I didn’t get back into it some years ago. Because of you and your stoke I could ride these tiny little waves over rocks no problem. I ride on Vancouver Island so it’s nice to be in the sun in California. That said I saw a KZread video of a place just north of Vancouver called Scookumchuck rapids. It’s a tidal standing wave that you could have a look at for future travels here. Hope your healing up and can get back out in the lineups again. Peace ✌️

It's like that perfect 3 wood off the deck on a par 5 to within 5 feet of the cup. Keeps bringing you back

Praise be to Gravy for igniting our stoke and good vibes, appreciate you so much brother saw u in shipbottom lbi last year don't forget how amazing Harvey cedars can be!

Good waves for east coast. I think in addition to shorter continental shelf there there is an underwater canyon near Long Island.

Quality waves. Lovely footage 🤙🏻

Gosh Ben your channel is growing by leaps and bounds and so well deserved. The videos youre putting out are so inspiring and humble. You speak to everyone, no matter their age, skill level etc, and thats awesome. I graduated from highschool in 1975 Ben and the word "stoke", in all if its forms, was one of our go to primary words...it and "bitchen". I Iove that i can associate it with you now as well. So proud of you goin for that monster lol...good for you❤ Keep up the great work Ben, love your channel! & praying your arm is healing and restored perfectly! ❤

Well done as always bro

Banger barrels.

Livin' the stoke

can you describe a wide bowl and ive heard you say other things followed by bowl..is it deep bowl?..how would you describe them

Ocean Beach you can see multiple massive great white dorsilfin in a day just outside first peaks jersey tubes were exquisite ! Comfrey poultice root & leaf will speed healing

surf GOD!

Where in NJ?

Like the sunset that spot is more than difficult.

While you're recovering if you do some extreme fishing of AC lmk. This weekend I'm going shark fishing in a 17ft boat and will probably be about 30 miles out 😂.

Good sized lip to the head. Silverbacks looks fun, type of wave we get.

The city of Springsteen, Asbury Park

👏

Now that you worked yourself up to tough guy society, you might be on the hook for singing Borderline (Madonna). this is gonna happen, whether the XXL surfers like it or not!

I once paddles out at a misto spot on the central coast that sits in front of a golf course. I got pitched on a bomb and almost ran out of O2 during the subsequent ragdoll part of the day. I popped up and thee are these four golfers pointing at me and it looks like they're laughing, although with oxygen debt they may have been an hallucination.I thought hmmm, that's weird, I guess we live in different worlds. Anyway all that to say you're right it's a lot bigger and scarier from the water.

😊

I got a better idea, why don’t you accept responsibility for your own life, choices and actions and stop being so intellectually lazy and weak that you have to pass it all off on to some super daddy monarchist figure like a coward. In other words, grow up (or shut up).

Love your videos and your surfboards, thanks for this amazing content
