  • The El Slammo classic is now 4 years running! Absolutely stoked to bring this epic event back to it's legendary home at the world famous surf break El Slammo. It was fun to sit out of competing this year to simply focus on judging & crowning the proper champ. Looking forward to surfing on Christmas morning, wish me luck! Hopefully my xrays come back good & I am ready to rip! Thank you for all the stoke & support over this process & please enjoy today's VLOG! FOR THE DREAM!! - Ben

    This contest is WAAAAY more fun to watch than any contest run by the WSL or ISA.......and it has more views than most heats on the pro tour. Thank you for sharing with all of us your stoke. 🤩

    Seeing this much Joy from a group of surfers brings me back to growing up in the 60’s when surfing was a sharing brotherhood of happiness and being one with mother ocean. What a pure joy it is to watch you guys keeping the dream alive. Hope you feel good on your return to shredding Ben. The world is a better place with you in it. Peace

    I think we should all just take a moment & reflect on how well Ben took that slam to the collarbone! Handled it like a champ! Stoked to see you're recovering well bro _\m/

    Ben and Casey Willax are easily the most underrated positive vibe warriors and health enthusiasts on CZcams. Wouldn’t spend 30 mins on CZcams anywhere else

    Love you Ben Gravy! Got injured the same day as you, tore a calf muscle. Been rehabbing and strengthening and Christmas is my "release date" too. I've surfed your 7' and 9' boards the last couple of years and love them, a lot of fun had on the BG Wave Bandit boards. Yeeeewwww!!!!!! PS- Make more videos, they're golden.

    Wish I had your luck mate. I got epilepsy January 2017 for first time at almost 40yrs. Had seizure and drove car straight off road into powerpole, ripping apart front of car. Finally got licence back 2019, but lost alot of classes. Lost house, job, and half of family. Got job then about 3yrs ago came off motocross bike and broke leg and destroyed knee and every ligament torn off bone. 3 operations later and can't feel leg below knee. Got back into it then lost my dog of 11.5yrs. Boss just fired me before Christmas after building all bikes required before Christmas. Got nothing and no one. Over it.
