  • So far this surfing adventure in Alaska has taken us to big surf, novelty waves, a moraine & some bumpy seas, but we've yet to see the dreams of clean surf, until today! We woke up this morning to picture perfect surf for Aloha Friday here in Alaska! Thanks to everyone who has supported this adventure of mine for so long FOR THE DREAM!!! - Ben

    This trip encompasses everything that sets Ben apart. No matter where he goes he is so stoked and grateful for every wave, every cup of coffee, every adventure, big or small. He surrounds himself with good people and positive vibes. He’s not a showman, a show off or an egomaniac. Just a humble dude living the dream.

    Dude. Next level. Jaw dropping gorgeous scenery. I’m in the navy so I got all romantic/nostalgic about hot coffee in the morning on a boat in cold water. How good do you sleep on a rocking boat in a warm rack? It’s like the womb, right!?! Best sleep ever for me when under way. Hope it’s the same for you, even with the bittersweetness of being away from your lady. I’ve been there. And then you braving skull cracking cold conditions to score rad waves in God’s country… Thanks for what you do, Ben. Living vicariously through the videos. Much appreciated.

      rocked to sleep in the cradle of the deep... I remember wedging pillows in my rack and a net so I wouldnt roll out in heavy seas... and nothing like a cigarette and a coffee on deck getting ready for the 0000 watch...

    This is what it takes to get uncrowded surf. That's a lot of work but what a great crew! Looks like everyone finally getting comfortable on the boat.

    • @xisotopex
      @xisotopex Před rokem

      its crazy how it wraps in there, I made a comment about how narrow the mouth of that fjord is.... it must have been pretty big outside... looking at a chart you would generally try to find the most exposed locations, depending on swell direction and primary wind direction... but I have been very surprised before... of course I live someplace that is completely exposed to almost all possible swell directions, but because its the east coast, it sucks most of the time regardless lol
