A few days ago we watched Ben Gravy surf New York.

Now he's has added another country to his border-hopping bucket list.

And a whole lotta croissants too during his Tour de Suisse.

Gravy seemed super stoked (as usual) during his road trip. You can see it in the video's caption below:

"It's been a dream to make it to Alaia Bay in the Swiss Alps & surf their world class wave pool. I knew that the wave pool wouldn't count to check off the country of Switzerland so I was anxious to find another option & to my surprise I came across a small dreamer in Lake Geneva while on the way to surf the best wave in the Swiss Alps. Thanks for all of the love & support Nub Nation for the dream!!! - Ben"

Gravy and his videographer, JT, start their adventure in France. There, like the Netherlands blog, they begin with a healthy dose of croissants.

Hey Ben, if you're reading this, do you have a croissant bucket list too?

Anyway, on their way to Alaia Bay in the Swiss Alps where Chris Hemsworth surfed last month, they pass Lake Geneva and see some "lapping waves"

Always the optimist, Gravy starts psyching.

"There's an ankle-high nugget. I think I can get one dude, I really do. I think I can catch one," he says. "It's not every day that you can shred Lake Geneva."

Naturally, Gravy scores a couple of waves.

"Going off! Shin high bombs!" he claims.

Then they make their way to the wave pool.

You can guess what happened there.

Gravy shredded wave after wave.

But since those aren't really real, we're claiming the the lake wave for Gravy.

Like he said, "It's not every day that you can shred Lake Geneva."
