The Longest Wave in North Carolina!?
Vložit

- I can't believe my eyes! This can not be real!? Tanner Caulk hit me up with some astounding footage of a Ferry novelty wave in the North Carolina & I immediately had to jump in the car. This is a pretty darn impressive wave considering it's being created by a somewhat small boat. So he packed up, headed to North Carolina & attempted to tame the longest wave in NC for the dream!! Thanks for the stoke! - Ben

Rip for your mate, lost a friend just like this recently and 2020 is continuing to hammer my family, thanks for the words at the beginning there Ben, you helped at least one person tonight
I have a friend that is being buried today, similar situation as Bens but actually had dinner with and spent the day together the day before he died and I have so many different feelings about it but I feel like I was meant to see this video cause your words did make me feel better. Ironic somewhat if nothing else. Thanks Ben G, from surf city Nc maybe I'll see you one day in the line up.
Stoking on this vlog so much. Your amazing tribute to your friend was so special to us. Thank you!
Much love friend🙏🙏🙏
For the Dream!
Thanks Ben, I really needed that pick me up, I’m in a dark place right now that I’m trying to come out of, I was involved in a car accident a year ago and lost my left leg, and all the surgeries and money problems having a wife and 2 kids is about more than I can handle, thanks for what you do Ben.
Thank you for taking a moment and raising more awareness for those things and having people know that someone loves them. RIP Rich
I couldn’t meet Ben because I would not know what to say when he says what’s the claim
All I could get out was “Living the dream” 🤷🏻♂️
Liam VanSch
Reminds me of "kids say the darndest things " before Candid Camera , LMAO
I’d just start claiming literally everything I could see or think of haha
Come back to Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach this hurricane season for a surf! For the dream!
Come to Kure Beach Ben. Got a condo on the ocean you can stay at, Ben.
If you want a ferry wave where you can get kegged, you got to go to Devonport Tasmania, Australia. The containerships make 3-4ft waves that barrel through a reef in the channel. Best man-made wave I have ever seen!!
sounds so sick!!
Pizza, Donuts, Red Bull, Ryan Mack, The Subi full of boards and the ultimate road trip to find the ultimate novelty wave. Tick, Tick,Tick!!! Another great vlog Ben and another great novelty find. Sorry to hear about the passing of your friend. Close or not that close, it just shows you that you need to embrace life and make changes as you have done and try to find your little peice of stoke to keep you going. Always for the Win!!!🍍💯🏄
That dude was sweating big time that the waves where gonna be flat after Ben did a 10 hour drive to get there... but turned out EPIC! ❤️🤙
Sorry to hear about your friend Ben that’s rough man. I was in the military for some years and when I got out it seemed like every few months I’d lose a brother to taking his own life. It’s been 10 years and the calls keep coming.. I myself came real close.. I just like you dedicate all my seshes and my life and everything I do to my boyz and there family’s. Being a combat veteran in today’s world is really hard iv been surfing long before I joined the army. But it has a whole new meaning for me as my therapy meditation and it is The One and only place I can have my back to the world and still feel safe! PTSD is real for us man and out there I couldn’t get stressed if I tried! The stoke and positive vibes you exude gets me fired up to go live a fun exciting life. Your the man Ben. For the boyz and for the dream🤙
Best comment. Sorry for your loss brother. May the sea continually bring you solace.
Sorry for your loss Ben, that was a great tribute and message bro.
Nub nation, YOU are worth it!! The dream is real!
;
You learned something when the captain said they come in according to the depth so if you were to get a tide chart and find out what the tide is doing when the boats coming in you could find out when he might be pushing a bigger wave. It’s not just a matter of luck you would definitely get a good wave if you planned it out. And that’s your lesson for boat wake riding. I could almost smell the water from the way it looked. Love those mosquitos oh it was Ryan’s Magic 2 Pro. 😎
Always the gracious Ambassador of Surfing and always willing to take pics with fans...Ben, your cool laid back unpretentious vibe is why you have so many subscribers...keep it up Bro!
All you videos are sooo cool man! I am a huge fan! I watch all your videos now!
My wife saying, “I like your shorts” may have stolen the show 🤙 Thanks again Ben! We’re still stoked talking about it
Yewwww Live the dream! 🤙
Kyle Magrann haha legendary !!
Haha
"What's the claim?" - Claim: Ben is more inspiring, motivating, supportive, and genuine than he realizes. 2 years ago I found your channel. You have been a continual inspiration to me, and source of positive vibes in this world. Through your journey to sobriety, and your continual stoke on life, you are an example to us all. Thank you for sharing the news about your friend Rich, and may he rest in peace. We all go through struggles in this life, and unfortunately mental health can be a taboo subject to talk about in our society. Thank you for raising awareness Ben, your motivation and support goes further than you think. You DO make a difference in this world Ben, and to that I salute you. If anyone is struggling, please reach out to a friend or loved one. If someone that is struggling reaches out to you, you don't have to "fix" anything, just listen and be a homie.
Hey ben,🍍🍍
Have u ever thought of doing the the long island feery fromport Jefferson NY to bridgeport CT or the orient point NY to New London CT. You would need a bost or ski to get out of the port jeff harbor. Once they hit the long island sound they go full ripp (off course of the weather permitting.).
Imagine the man, the legend, the myth, surfing across long island sound on novelty waves. Port jeff to bridgeport is the shortest distance in the truse sound. I have done it on jetskid with the boysback whwn we had then. So u can easeily do it. Just keep geeting pulled in if you it dies out. But imagine 1 waves across the sound... omg!!!!! Think about this ben. Rhis will nake you way past seni pro.😭
I admire you brother, ur responsible for getting me 3 year sober. Idc about putting my # on yt.. i will block every kook and if ben actually calls them that wud be truly for nub nation..no better time than august when the sound is so warm and covid with no one in the water.

Ps theres literally a boat ramp right next to the ferry.
Hope you are doing well Clark, thank you for the comment!
Love the realness this vlog. This is something you cant find anywhere else🤙🏼
refreshingly clean drone work
Stoked!!!! Wow that right was a dreamer! My favorite vlog ! Keep shredding Ben !
The roof of your car is DOPE!!!
I don’t get it
Nvm
Love a nice afternoon vlog drop. Look like you guys had a lot of fun.
This may be my favorite video to date! The stoke is SO real..the DREAM is SO real!! And nuke levels and in the clouds!! I only wish I could join the boys on yet another epic adventure!! Nub nation for the win!! Yeewwww
Legend Ben!! Stay stoked
I never get tired of the novelties. Stoked!
Freakin’ still lovin’ me some BG along with 113K others!!!!!!! Still proud of you so much. You inspire kids and adults alike!
glad to see traveling and searching for remote random noveltys again ben, these are my faves !
Great Vid.... lotta hard work put in on that one.
One of your great (they are all great) vids... the travel, the camararderie, the chat with captain of the boat, the final wave, the final final wave..... stoke sauce.
Love the suicide prevention dedication brother. Helping those in need with mental health healing is so important and needs to be an open discussion so they know people are there to help them. Sending positive vibes of healing your way for your loss.
I’m sorry about your friend, thank you for touching on the topic of suicide, a couple of months ago I lost my best bud to suicide, and I must say your videos and surfing helped me a lot through these times without him❤️rip your friend, keep up the good content like always 🤙
tackling and taming the Cape Fear River wave way deep in Carolina country. that was so gnar! safe travels to you and R Mack.
Epic vlog Ben! I grew up in downtown Southport and used to ride that ferry as a teenager to Carolina beach to go surfing! I have been following your vlog for a couple of years and was surprised to see you in my home town! Wilmington is a pretty cool town, especially the historic downtown. The dream is real 🤙🏽
Was it deep enough to foil?
No
You keep me going dude. Thanks for sharing the stoke in my hometown ✌
thanks for making this summer feel more like summer with your videos
good message Mr. Ben
Great vids I’m not a surfer I like to
Watch u and ur friends interacting with people. U and turner are really nice people .
Ben your such a genuine man, dedicating the wave to your friend, every day you make me smile and feel content with my life , thankyou dude ,for the dream 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤙
homie driving the boat looks like he could be the "legends" son hahaha
I like how your videos are about FUN. Not so much about outbesting. And...
Kids rule in your world.
Cool you are.
Special props to Ryan Mack. Trying to take care of yourself and eat a little better than the last trip can be a pain with folks busting your chops, even if it's meant to be harmless fun.
Amen brother. Mental health is something we don’t talk about enough. Thank you for bringing it to attention. I have a lot of people in my life that suffer from depression and anxiety. When people realize they aren’t the only ones that suffering they are more likely to reach out for help. Talking about mental health is they best way to prevent suicide. RIP Rich. Prayers to his family and friends
stoked to see you vlog in my area. You bring so many positive vibes to our coastal communities. Bald head island ferry pushes some dreamers onto those barrier islands when the tide and sand matches up. One time I saw a huge tanker push through the southwest jetty on bald head island and deliver an out of control overhead newport-wedge styled chaotic mess over rocks.
I've been on the Fort Fisher-Southport ferry before and didn't see a wake at all.⛴🌊😂
Last time I went to the beach was at Fort Fisher because Wrightsville is getting really crowded and they've jacked the parking up sky high.
There is a coquina reef/point break in Fort Fisher that used to be a famous spot in the 60's and 70's until they used some of the reef to make roads. I hear it occasionally still breaks, you should check that out sometime too.🏄🏼♂️🍍😎
This is facts. I grew up on CB/KB and have surfed that break quite a bit. Definately a more advanced spot though because that reef is the ruins of the actual fort fisher and isnt far below the water. On a rainy day where the waves are pumping you can get slammed right into it.
the legend in Wilmington!?! HEAVY!!
Nice dedication to your friend Ben. 🙏You are the nolvety king,such a smooth wave, very glassy dreamer, that surf board looked like a dried prune🤣🔥epic session for the dream 💯🐬🙋♂️🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Sorry to hear about your buddy, great show dude love the stoke.
hey there.thanks for talking about suicide.I recently got out of the hospital from trying to kill myself. A year ago i bustedmy hip and back. turns out i may never surf again.its the hardest thing ive ever dealt with.its unbelievable,thanks for the chance to say this,and luckily the surfing tribe understands how weve spent our whole lives constructed around surfing,planning it out so we can catch every swell,and at the very least just being in the water, just paddling around looking for weirdy novelty waves.im having a hard time accepting life without surfing. i cut my arm from my palm down to the inside of my elbow. a wuss move, im sure thats what it sounds like ,but hopefully the surf world understands what i lost. but now i'm still alive, watching ben gravey and beefs tv,and it keeps me going,Im sorry to hear about your friend. that sucks. A lot of us that seem happy and layd back are just really good at keeping up good face cause we dont want anybody else to feel this low. i just want to say thanks again to ben gravy for talking about this, and getting a chance with a forum to get this stuff out.a lot of us dont feel like theres anybody thatll understand, but its true.if you kill yourself its going to affect way more people than you can think of,and they would rather lend an ear than know your dead,especially if its by your own hand
I'm sorry to hear about all that, but I hope you are pushing forward & trying to stay stoked on your life. Thank you for sharing, hope you're well - Ben
So psyched to see you come through my town
Bet fan love from Long Beach
Been mind surfing those ferry waves since a grom. Glad u made the drive to show they way 🤙
Citrus acid plant. ADM I think.i would get off midnights and instead of driving around I would ride the ferry to Fort Fisher and check out the waves. Fort Fisher has a cove with a long left.
BG livin a blessed life... who else gets ferried back and forth to ride ferry waves. Love it.
Good stuff bro. Awesome words. Keep the dream alive bro. -From N.C.
Nothing better than an after school ben gravy vid yeeeeeeew
Tanner’s Point !! Dat wave is smooth..you boys bring the stoke, keep charging Ben Gravy! Potential is endless..
Tanner is awesome that footage was aweaome
Yewww Tanner and B.Gravy frothing on the S.Port ferry dumpers!!🌊
love the new music dude !!
That intro is how i feel every time an Ad comes on
Crazy how the world works Ben. Oak Island guy here (weekend beach bungalow).
Missed all of it. Was out in the water surfing at that pier only an hour after you were there judging by the video. On the 6' Gravy soft top no less. Had a great session two Sunday's ago that almost reminded me of El Slamo. There is a nice right that forms off that pier on the top part of incoming tide. And I actually was thinking... man it would be cool to share this with Ben Gravy right now. A week later exactly you show up.
That board looks like a vacuum bagging job gone extreme!
I live right by there and I've always wanted to surf those! I'm headed out there tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll see you! I was in your "This Wave is Savage" episode.
love the vids ben
Good stuff.....no BS.....you are very good for the surfing community............and for the groms..........keep being you......
Sorry for the loss of you friend, may he Rest In Peace🙏 ! Sure he will be looking down and sending the stoke to keep it firing for ya !
That kid Tanner is GRAVY doppelganger!
I live in Southport NC. They used to run us off when we went down there. I'm glad you got lucky. That was awesome.
Grew up in Long Beach/Southport from 86-92. Surfed Fort Fisher/Carolina/Wrightsville Beach as well as my local Beach's on the Island and rode that ferry so many times....never thought about surfing the wake. Awesomel. My profile pic is from 89 at Oceancrest Pier in Long Beach NC...lol
WICKED GOOD! For the LOVE! And that little girly grom RIPPED IT
Dude Ben is scoring I remember when he used to surf a 2 inch wave at El slamo and now he's scoring dreamers🤙🤙🤙🤙
RIP Rich, nicely said words man. Sorry to hear about the loss.
Firing video!! Yewwww!! I love your boards!! There fire 🔥
No way man I ride that ferry and scope those peelers all the time....hahaha rad dude!!!!
Was that sun damage? Looks like someone used polyurethane resin onto eps type foam, and the poly ate most of the foam up.
Boss Gravy...recognized all over the place...yewww🤙🏻
Love it , 🏄
heavy heavy crew so awesome big from your number one fan!
Thanks Ben, I needed a road trip today. I made it as far as 7 eleven, then turned back.
Still entertained by Ben riding 1 foot ferry dreamers. Legend.
Wavey Gravy, love what your doing mang. Your positivity is so inspiring and very contagious! I'm basically a 40 year old Grom from the Detroit burbs. Water is 2nd nature for us in MI. We have a ridiculous amount of coastline,and still finding sweet spots all over. Watching your videos and seeing you capitalize on any wave possible is my favorite part! The stoke is real...but I've been trying to buy one of your boards for ever. Nobody has any anywhere it seems. Been on eBay ,sold out everywhere I look. Bummin but not giving up. Any idea when stock will come back??? For the Dream🤙 Any info would be greatly appreciated Ben.
Living the dream thanks bg
Gravy's tanker wave knowledge on display, getting slotted on all the set waves.
I love how you are honoring your friend, Ben. You are a good man. Yewwwwww
Peelers!!!! Sick🤘🏻🤙🏻
Reeling and peeling !!! 🤙🤙🤙
Damn, wish i knew you in Wilmington. Hope ya had fun man!
So Cool....!
youtube is amazing. Ben, youre a genius. live the dream by filming it for others to see and be inspired. !!!
Did that board go on a flight ✈️ from the pressure it got sucked up like that’s ??
Fun stuff
My brother killed himself..he struggled with bipolar like myself but refused to take his meds..he basically thought the meds took away his stoke
Sweet Ben are you gonna be in NC for the Laura swell?
Maybe I missed it. Maybe I need to watch more videos. But what's with all the soft tops? That question is not a judgement, curiousity.
Yo awesome video bro🤘🏼Loved seeing you in my local area an very cool to see Chris P an Kane hanging out with the legend! Shoutout to my HB bro’s 💯🌊🌞
Dude are you still in NC?! We were at Kure beach yesterday close to Ferry doc to oak island and just saw this post. So rad ha! Come back to NC again!! Thanks for sharing your light and love with the world.
My dream is to one day surf in a barrel like the one in your intro. I surf 1-3 foot waves where I am so nope. I don't know when or where I will but I hope I will!
Me too brother!! Yew!!
@@brianhoffman7068 YEEWWWW
Keep surfing it will happen however you probably will get crushed over 200 times for the 1 barrel that comes out clean.
yes...that is Nuke plant! The back intrace was to left before ya got to the ferry! I work there every other year (fall then spring) when they shut done the reactor for maintenance! ALSO great fishing where the outwater from the plant dumps into the ocean! AND NO its clean water thats just used to keep things cool to stop a MELT DOWN!!!
I luv the nov clips
I love how nice he is to his fans
