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.
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!
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!
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
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 :-)
Polar surfing yeeeeeaaaahhhh.... Embracingggg the suckkkk, yes, hype, refreshinggglyyy awesome, plus invigorating and vitalizing... *****#polarsurfing** JAN 31, 2022 6:52 a.m.***
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?
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!

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.
These guys are what the love of surfing is about. Good friends great surf great fun this is what surfing is about

This is sooooo much more fun than watching the pipe comp going on today! FER THE WIN!!!! still gonna watch pipe. LOL
Watching from 80` sunny West Maui and loving the blizzard conditions. Epic gnarly conditions and the boys are stoked. Best video of 2022
Just finished watching day 2 pipeline. Give me elSlamo winter session any day. I salute you numbscull surfers.
These guys are not normal. They are Gods 🏄♀️ 🏄♂️ 🏄
This video showed me that I’m clearly not doing enough with my life.

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?
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.
👋🏼 Ben & Bens Wife😊......this was epic and again... I got my belly 🤣 on........cuties on the 🌊🌊🏄🏼♂️🌊🌊🏄🏽♂️🌊🌊🏄🏽♂️🌊🌊🏄🏼♂️🌊🌊🏄🏻♂️🌊🌊🤙🏻
El Slammo Classic deliverin' a quality final! Respect in that cold.
That was super fun to watch! Such an awesome group of fun loving guys.

Keep it up !
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”?
Legendary, the way you keep turning out these videos.... Epic editing....
The funniest video ever, even the crazy Kayak guy showed up
The trash talk was the best!
What a classic video. Well done Ben, this is exceptional!
the way ben surfs the soft tops is so satisfying
Great event and epic video. Thanks for all the stoke.
Amazing Ben!!!! For the Dream!!!!
This is the chefs kiss of surf films
Truly one of the funniest channels on youtube.
Just the best thing on RUclips!!!
Gravy is 💯 🔥🔥🔥 Positive Vibes and All 👍👍 !!!
SwFla boy here and we had 🥶🥶 this morning 🌅 Frost Going strong 💪 and Frozen 🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎!!!! One Love !!!

That separates the men from the boys... you guys are nuts!! I thought I had a screw loose....
Slamtastic! True Viking madness
I wonder why doesn't the WSL get this event in the tour
I love waking up in the morning and noticing Ben posted 🤙🏼
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 :-)
Everyone should get a trophy just for paddling out in that weather, greetings from South Texas, BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
It’s an every day reality for us in the great lakes

Bro this was an awesome video! Keep making great videos bro keep shredding!
That was legendary
Damn raw doggin the frosty waves, I'm in Florida and full suit in the winter period. You sir are a beast.
Guys I so want to ride the slammo. More than any wave in the world. Greetings from Chile 🌶.
Rob the Numb Skull 💀 such a legend
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!!!!
iv never seen snow like this bloody insane
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.
That was so awesome 🤙🏻
Classic nub vibes big dog. Stoked
Great video!
Polar surfing yeeeeeaaaahhhh.... Embracingggg the suckkkk, yes, hype, refreshinggglyyy awesome, plus invigorating and vitalizing...
*****#polarsurfing** JAN 31, 2022 6:52 a.m.***
Any idea when the next Slammo is going down!? I’ve gotta be there for it
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?
Gotta bring a small hand torch to heat up the wax..
I will be a proud El Slammo spectator come the Fall
Are softboards mandatory for El Slammo Classic? Stoked!
NO WAY, the churchill fin keychain, lol. I have the same one bro.
Rob was ready! What happened?
I guess life comes first! Next year

THANK YOU
Pretty gnarly, but I think it was a little gnarlier in '77? Not sure tho..... Haha! That was awesome! Grew up by Lucy and
