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.
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.
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!
Polar surfing yeeeeeaaaahhhh.... Embracingggg the suckkkk, yes, hype, refreshinggglyyy awesome, plus invigorating and vitalizing... *****#polarsurfing** JAN 31, 2022 6:52 a.m.***
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!
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 !
How on earth is that 10-15ft? At most it’s 1-2 with maybe.. maybe… maybe a 3footer. I notice this happens quit a bit. What’s called a 20footer, is in real life 6-8ft max “Mainland”. Why? Is it for Clickbait or just maybe Jersey measures things differently? Either way, love your channel and how positive you are. I love that you’re open about your journey through sobriety to. Keep it up!
Ya'll rule, meanwhile here in FLA went gang frisbee golf on Friday to use up all my surf time cause the surf, although really good, was cold as hell, 50 Sat morning water temps in the 60s, head high plus. I must be getting old....
Just finished watching day 2 pipeline. Give me elSlamo winter session any day. I salute you numbscull surfers.
Anybody who surfs in those conditions are absolute legends in my book🤙
Skol Vikings!! Great contest!
Epic 🤙🤙
Bro
You’re getting good at this shit
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.
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
Are you kidding me, this is mental! First time ever commenting on any video, but love the dedication to the dream! Thanks for sharing.
Masterpiece. Amazing story buildup with Rob and coldwater embrassing.
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.
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.
Nice to see the kayak guy got a wet suit 🤙 for the dream CRF Sully
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?
Watching from 80` sunny West Maui and loving the blizzard conditions. Epic gnarly conditions and the boys are stoked. Best video of 2022
I wonder why doesn't the WSL get this event in the tour
This is sooooo much more fun than watching the pipe comp going on today! FER THE WIN!!!! still gonna watch pipe. LOL

There's a wave like that in kill devil hills you should hit up gravy. I went out yesterday so much fun. Keep up that good life homie.
Legendary, the way you keep turning out these videos.... Epic editing....
That snow drift might have been 3ft in Jersey but everyone watching knows it was 0 ft Hawaiian.
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”?
These guys are what the love of surfing is about. Good friends great surf great fun this is what surfing is about
That was super fun to watch! Such an awesome group of fun loving guys.
The funniest video ever, even the crazy Kayak guy showed up
It must be freezing when the crazy kayak dude has a wetsuit on
Gnarly. Credit to all involved. In the not El Slammo classic

What a classic video. Well done Ben, this is exceptional!
Separate the men from the boys EL SLAMOO 2021 barrel festival 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
That was fun to watch. I watched from my backyard in Ohio, by the fire in the snow.
I agree, that was entertaining. Watching from the porch in boardshorts from sunny and warm SoFlorida.
A couple of savages!!!! For the dream!!!!

Totally cheated RAMBO PERRY out the win 🤟🏼 Dude had some nice barrels 🤟🏼
PSSHHH Back in 1973 it was 25 foot at el slammo/. These new Guys are TOTAl KOOKS BLowing up THE sPOT. I am a supper local at SLAMOOO

I love waking up in the morning and noticing Ben posted 🤙🏼
So much buildup and then its not even ElSlammo? Getting into clickbait territory, otherwise an excellent video.
Red Bull did well to sponsor this event. This is a heavy claim and extreme sporting event. There is no ffg way I would surf in those conditions
Awesome 😎 great event thanks for the coverage some great waves and pits 😊
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.
Some of the activities of my younger days still seem hard, but I know when it's too cold.
Guys I so want to ride the slammo. More than any wave in the world. Greetings from Chile 🌶.
That separates the men from the boys... you guys are nuts!! I thought I had a screw loose....
NO WAY, the churchill fin keychain, lol. I have the same one bro.
Are softboards mandatory for El Slammo Classic? Stoked!
Those guys are nuts!!,good to watch though. I couldn't do it...🇳🇿
Gotta bring a small hand torch to heat up the wax..
Wat a fun crew makes me wanna move out to NJ....except for the snow and cold water!
Most stoke edit on the tube 🙌🏻 JETBROOO!
I shoved 100 feet of driveway during el slammo.
Have you ever served Little Beach North of brigantine
Pause at 33:45... looks like one of the waves of the day... and then, well - you know.
Just curious, how do you guys support yourselves to be able to travel and surf?
That's it. I'm sailing to New Zealand. Which way do I go?
Any idea when the next Slammo is going down!? I’ve gotta be there for it
My only question is, how do you know where the curbs are when you're driving
More Crowd Killer...any Genner'z in the crowd?
Let there be carnage!!! 😁🤙🌊🏄🏻♂️🍍🔥
I mean how about wild card invitation to a loyal viewer in 2023
Just a question why do you always surf foamies? just curious
Why are cyclone waves so slabby and perfect!?
Great event and epic video. Thanks for all the stoke.
lbi was pumping tho cant blame rob that's where I went out
At 29:22 are there some monsters breaking far out on the right hand side??
...365 day waiting period...lmao...😆...
What is PipeMaster next to El Slammo Classic ?
Woot!
They said he was crazy but look at him now.
I love your disco dude, I got the same whip
I will be a proud El Slammo spectator come the Fall
