I mean come on Ben, I’m only 11 minutes in and you’ve outdone yourself again. This build up to the event is sooooo good. Ok, back to the video now. So stoked
Part-time legend. A full legend wouldn't have skipped the event - after shooting his own theatrical pre-game intro as a featured rider - to try and get better waves elsewhere. Just wouldn't do it. The rest of the time though, Rob Kelly is a legend.
What an epiccc video to document such a gnarly event!!! Thanks so much for inviting me, John, and houser!!! It was so epic and a total dream come true! Had an amazing time!
Ben Gravy, thank you for all your hard work, you and your Team! All that beach replenishment has almost covered that Longport Jetty with sand. There is going to continue to be more storm surge during storms with the continued scam of beach replenishment. Sand is structure. It’s no difference if you put sand in a full glass of water, the water in the glass is going to over flow!
This video showed me that I’m clearly not doing enough with my life. Participation trophies would have been warranted for this epic event. It took me three hours to warm up after watching this video.
So fun to watch. I know you guys in the North put up with this weather but for a guy born and raise in Florida, this is what dreams are made of. You may not see this as a novelty anymore but some of us would love to experience it. Surfing in blizzard with a great group of friends looks like the most fun ever. Keep it up !
Best winter surf short, love the intro before the event with meeting some of the competitors, the pearls of dealing with the snow storm and the overall comp, that’s real dedication right there both to surfing and good videography.
I´m still speechless. This is amazing. All of it. You are Vikings! If there is a Hawai-scale for wave size, there should be a Jersey-scale for water-temperature. Legendary (and even teh legend showed up!!) Thanks for the dream :-)
Pretty gnarly, but I think it was a little gnarlier in '77? Not sure tho..... Haha! That was awesome! Grew up by Lucy and dreamed about doing that kind of stuff. You guys have a great crew!
should come to so flo sometime for some of our awesome winter swells. i'm sure you'd have a blast. nice change of pace having 70 degree water too right?
Anybody who surfs in those conditions are absolute legends in my book🤙

When it's an event to get to the event, you know it's an event, WSL move over. Rob is a freak, Perry is an animal, you all rock, love it.
Rob is a legend trunking it out there. That must really make you feel alive as well as helping to get accustomed to the cold

@@liberateyourslack I'd of gone for better waves too.
Masterpiece. Amazing story buildup with Rob and coldwater embrassing.
Are you kidding me, this is mental! First time ever commenting on any video, but love the dedication to the dream! Thanks for sharing.
Just finished watching day 2 pipeline. Give me elSlamo winter session any day. I salute you numbscull surfers.
These guys are what the love of surfing is about. Good friends great surf great fun this is what surfing is about

Watching from 80` sunny West Maui and loving the blizzard conditions. Epic gnarly conditions and the boys are stoked. Best video of 2022

East Coast surfers are a different breed... Here I'm complaining about 65º air temp and high 50'sº water temp with light off shore winds in San Diego.
This video showed me that I’m clearly not doing enough with my life.

It took me three hours to warm up after watching this video.
This is sooooo much more fun than watching the pipe comp going on today! FER THE WIN!!!! still gonna watch pipe. LOL
This storm reminds me of that swell in 1971 when we were riding my dads 7ft balsa wood board, ocean started freezing over midway into our session.
But was it bigger in '71?
These guys are not normal. They are Gods 🏄♀️ 🏄♂️ 🏄
Nice to see the kayak guy got a wet suit 🤙 for the dream CRF Sully

El Slammo Classic deliverin' a quality final! Respect in that cold.
Crazy. Heavy cold slamming surf.
But Cyclone Bombs we’re always bigger in 1973. Snow was deeper, water was colder. Waves were slammier.😜
How is 1-2ft occasional 3ft, “HEAVY”?
That was super fun to watch! Such an awesome group of fun loving guys.
Legendary, the way you keep turning out these videos.... Epic editing....
the way ben surfs the soft tops is so satisfying

Are softboards mandatory for El Slammo Classic? Stoked!
Legend for the win
Guys I so want to ride the slammo. More than any wave in the world. Greetings from Chile 🌶.
OMG! Rob Kelly. You ARE a LEGEND!! Mr. Polar Bear Ruler! Brrrrrr.
Bro this was an awesome video! Keep making great videos bro keep shredding!
Awesome - Great vid!
iv never seen snow like this bloody insane
Rob was ready! What happened?
I guess life comes first! Next year
Pretty gnarly, but I think it was a little gnarlier in '77? Not sure tho..... Haha! That was awesome! Grew up by Lucy and
dreamed about doing that kind of stuff. You guys have a great crew!
That was legendary
Wow that was great!
should come to so flo sometime for some of our awesome winter swells. i'm sure you'd have a blast. nice change of pace having 70 degree water too right?
El slammo is like a spot near my house, usually never pumps but with a south swell it gets to ten feet break right on the rocks. McKenzies.
36:56 that was actually insane
Rob the Numb Skull 💀 such a legend
I will be a proud El Slammo spectator come the Fall
Just curious, how do you guys support yourselves to be able to travel and surf?
Any idea when the next Slammo is going down!? I’ve gotta be there for it
been watching the news waiting to see you guys out there lol
Just awesome.
That's it. I'm sailing to New Zealand. Which way do I go?
High quality carnage right there
Great video once again, who makes those giant camo hoodies they're wearing in it? Looks so frigging warm!
THANK YOU
That snow drift might have been 3ft in Jersey but everyone watching knows it was 0 ft Hawaiian.
Gotta bring a small hand torch to heat up the wax..
Great video!
I love your disco dude, I got the same whip
that was HEAVY
Some of the activities of my younger days still seem hard, but I know when it's too cold.
You opened that door, and my reaction was OH SHIT!!!!!!
NO WAY, the churchill fin keychain, lol. I have the same one bro.
I grew up in cold water, so I'm not counting it until your head goes under the water, come on boys full commitment is required
