Ben Gravy Scores Pumping Surf in New Jersey During Thanksgiving Swell
The adventures of Ben Gravy continue.
The soft-top connoisseur and novelty wave surfer recently completed his "7 Seas in 7 Days" surf trip where he did exactly what the name implies.
The New Jersey native traveled to Japan, Bali, Australia, Texas, New Jersey, and Norway. He surfed the North Pacific, South Pacific, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, North Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Arctic Ocean.
Gravy released his latest vlog above today and captioned it:
"New Jersey goes FULL Sumo Wrestler for Thanksgiving swell
"Surfing in New Jersey can be very exciting. Like anywhere else in the world, we'll get a big swell, but we've never exactly sure what we're going to get.
"Arriving home from the 7 Seas in 7 Days journey I was frothing to be home & spend time with family, celebrate my birthday, ect & then all the sudden bango here comes a Thanksgiving swell for the ages & it went full sumo wrestler out there! haha FOR THE DREAM! - Ben"
Gravy monologues at the start of the video about his sobriety, gratitude, and just living life to its fullest.
While checking the surf, he says:
"We made some choices this morning that kinda forced us to sign up for the meat packing class, 'How to Get Decapitated 101.' Those waves are nuts."
That surf report pretty much says it all.
Press play for more adventures in pumping East Coast surf with Gravy.
Viewers were stoked as usual. Here are a few of their comments:
"100% sumo"
"That swell was different - big, heavy, mean and fun. Seemed a little angrier than other swells of the same size lol
"Another fantastic vlog entry, also that young guy at the end giving your camera back. I love honest people, that guy did what should be normal but we know it isn't unfortunately. He was really great. Hey, and a Happy Birthday and Thanksgiving."
