  • 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

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

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.
