40ft Tide Surge Causes LARGEST Tidal Bore in North America

- Returning to Alaska has been an absolute blast. Scoring a tidal bore is no easy feat, especially when the charts are predicting a 40ft tide surge & it's the first big bore ride of the season. Video sponsored by Ridge - ridge.com/gravy
Without proper guidance we did our best to put ourselves in position to score & I ended up riding the wave for about 15 minutes. What a rush! Thank you to everyone in the Nub Nation for all of the continued love & support FOR THE DREAM!!! - Ben

I grew up in Anchorage 60's and 70's. We were constantly warned to stay away from the Turnagain Arm Bore and stay off the mud flats. It was a shocker when windsurfers started sailing the upper end at Portage. Now it's amazing how many people surf and kayak the Bore. Stay off the mud flats. They are quick sand. Your stuck and then the tide comes rolling in. Your dead. Be safe in your adventures.
I'm from Alaska but living in Seattle for years. Took my wife up to surf the turnagain bore, and even with 30 yrs surf experience between us by far the scariest thing was the mud flats. Ended up getting a 2 mile wave tho!!
There's such unique content on this channel. I don't know how it doesn't have more subs. I kept trying to "like" video again and again as you were on that long wave. Thanks for doing crazy stuff!
Agree , I think he needs to travel the world more ....if he can afford it that is, would be cool to see him in mentawaiis , Australia etc
Organic growth vs corporate sponsor/purchased clicks. Also if Ben were an attractive female it would be off the charts
It’s also because this is a 30 minute video with one minute of surfing… it’s a pretty unappealing video style. I just had to fast forward 27 minutes to see anything close to surfing
@@nicklockwood5728 agree, he has 20 min of nothing at the start of every vid... people come for the surfing
agreed, but he surfs everything but the ocean. he needs to just stick with some good typical content too. he's not drawing many surfers because surfers don't care about a2 foot tidal bore.
We saw you guys out there the other day! Didn't know it was the Ben Gravy crew. I haven't stood up on that wave yet, just belly-boarded for awhile. I hope I can stand up on her this year.
Get er grom!
Been surfing this place for years. Crazy good break if you time it right. Cool video.
Right on Hyperflex! I just looked those up! They look killer and good prices for top-of-the-line equipment like that (they're gonna cost more than entry-level stuff). Hyperflex, keep hooking up Ben Gravy!!! He's repping you excellent! Killer vibe from your brand.
you have to come to Brazil bra , to surf the pororoca wave
Of all the tidal bores in the world, this has to be the one which is set it the most fantastic scenery!
When I first saw Blair I got the biggest smile knowing he was going to he part of this epic journey! Looks like an awesome crew, love you guys!!!🤙...

Those were Dalll's Sheep! Close cousins to Big horn Sheep.
They're in the ranges that are mountain Arctic or sub -actic in Western Canada and Alaska
I LOVE that drive from Anchorage to Seward. So beautiful.
That’s sick
You can skip to about 22:00 if you want the surfing

Epic reunion at you're 50th state.
Hoping to see you do a world trip of rarities and get to the silver dragon in Qiantang one day
Love it! It keeps on inspiring me! I likely will be on that tidal bore one day!
Kudos to you guys for all the dues you paid to get this classic footage. I know I probably would've bailed and scored a perfect powder day at Alyeska instead...
All those years of riding novelty waves and being able to eek something out of not much of a wave for sure paid off on that wave👍😎...

"Any condition into Jay Bay." I'm gonna quote you on this... full cred!! Love your spirit. thanks for sharing you life with us.
Ben that was such an amazing vlog once again a massive thankyou for being you and keeping the stoke real , all aboard the gravy train big dog

Great crew! Exceptional edit!! And an absolutely EPIC location!!! Loved every minute and already looking forward to the next video!
broskyyyyy!! that was so amazing! I am truly happy for you and your journey. Keep at it!!
Yo Ben! You inspired me to surf the Turnagain Bore tide in AK last year...it was EPIC! I live right over the Margate bridge in Northfield and I'm actually in Anchorage right now too! Crazy man. Thanks for the dream!
Literally the Ultimate Novelty Wave...
Dude no way Blair didn’t give you a fist bump at the end 😂😂 love you Ben 👍👍
bore time bro ..great photography 😎
such a great crew of guys! You can always tell how solid a dude is by how many times he kisses his dog goodbye
I’ve been laid up in the hospital watching you buddy , I can’t wait to get back out there . Thanks for being you .
Clearly a plethora of plethoras.
Dude you need a rack or cargo box😀
BTW the highest tides in the World is 30 miles from me in the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick.
Keep ‘‘em coming Ben!
Ben your stoke was off the scale throughout this video, what an adventure.
congrats looks like you had fun but for the long journey to Alaska where you said there was so much mud I do not think I could drive up there and get through as much mud as that if it is deep and thick stuff. Even with gears and lockers in rhe front & rear on long travel suspension with posision sensative bipass resivior shock oil reservoirs my King Shocks have the b3st I know of run by the top Trophy Truck magical off road high speed off road racing machines. There is also the BS price of gasiline with a internal balenced 408 stoker AFR heads & complete fresh exaust headers y pipe & a nice muff 2 new cats it sounds healthy but the MPG is not as it was with a stock 5.0 302.

Props to your cardio!
This video was awesome! Expedition success, real life show of working with nature! Great job Ben! For Real!!!
I loved the inlet. Spent three weeks just vaninig Alaska even hit Kodiak island man that place is just indescribable. Dahl sheep eagles moose grizzlies wolves and it's all just hanging out wherever you go. There's a cool place called the sea shell cabin that sits on the cliff at the end of the inlet I stayed there just to watch the tide. Dude that's a ride! Glad you got to live in the dream!!❤️. Enjoy your Travels. Ask about the A frame house with the waterfall. You'll love the view and up at the top of the mountain is a lake with iceburgs floating around. Wish I could be there to hit some spots. But youll find them. You're good people 👍
The most Epic Ride for The one and only Ben Gravy!! Still stoking us all out!!!
Keeep up the good work gravy love your vids
Ben gravy is the 🐐 of novelty
watched this wave last year break as a perfect 3ft left for over a mile. Kayaker got most of it. I believe the tide change was closer to 30' that day.
If you never go.... you'll never know ! Just what is the longest wave (time and distance) ever ridden? Ben, this could qualify www.guinnessworldrecords.com/. Give it a go!!! Awesome stuff buddy!!!
👍👍🤙🤙greetings from Seaside Park New Jersey, Looking sweet out their brother, good stuff 👍
Those mud flats are EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
great footage Ben, but you need another board!!
I'm excited about the 5'5" lost mayhem catch surf
if you like barrels you might like my channel 🙃
Wow, what great scenery for the fun and wacky experience of riding a tidal bore.
When the Severn Bore was my nearest local wave I used to thoroughly enjoy it - most of the time it was a similar, small mushy wave (to the the one in the vid) but surprisingly fast (in terms of the whole, entire width of the wave, it felt like it traveled over the ground faster than any soft ocean wave). Once in a while, on the right bit of the river it could be better - bigger, faster and steeper.
It is the easiest of waves to score because the days with the big tides are known and the times when the bore will arrive equate exactly to high tide and that too, is accurately predicted on tide timetables available on the internet or in a mariner's almanac. I remember chatting to a true Severn Bore local who said that because he could see, months ahead, exactly when the chances of a good wave would likely occur, he could put it in his diary and organise his work, time spent with his wife and everything else in his life around it - how many ocean surfers (and their partners) would give their right arm for that ? That said, the Severn Bore can be a little late, perhaps up to 40 minutes, if down river wind and/or high levels of freshwater are running down the river delay it, it could spell disaster for a hot date !
Is the honeymoon finally over, when you find yourself giving the dog more goodbye kisses than the loyal, loving wife, who tolerates those "Surfer Dude" habits & behaviors, that most of us don't ever quite grow out of? Just don't forget how special the few ladies like her are, and remember to show her your gratitude, every chance you get. No matter how small the token of appreciation, it's always more meaningful to them, than we realize. Have a blast out there. For The Dream!
That's one of the sickest things I've ever seen.
The G.O.A.T
Gravy on Alaskan tidal-bore
If y’all would of got stuck in the mud when you stood up waiting for the wave you could of been drowned. 🤦🏼♂️ super dangerous man.
Nice footage Mr. G Alaska looks epic. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
MY braddah.. I'm in Anchorage right now!! I'm down to surf this bore tide if it hits!! maybe see you there if I can get some transportation.
Heavy crew
Belly boarding is always the call, this is mental. You're sick bro!
Did you really just catch the longest wave in FL & the longest wave in AK back to back? LMAO Nice job Ben
I don't understand why you would go spend a bunch of money just to go ride some white water in the middle of knowhere. Risking your life in trecherous wilderness. I understand you want to explore and say that you guys did it and all. But your telling me you'd rather risk freezing to death or risk life and limb by bleeding to death from a viscious bear encounter than go to say... Hawaii? If so you got some big cohones and are loco bro!
Ben not living the dream he is creating it as he goes along on this merry adventure. Amazing footage. Stay stoked.
I wore the vryl cryo 5/4 the past 2 winters and yes! Super warm. The suit did tear shortly after the initial warranty. Contacted Hyperflex. They deemed it a flaw in the suit and sent an identical new suit out within a week.. Stoked...
Do those suits come in non seal looking colors... ... don't really matter how comfortablejy warm you are while being test biten or worse .....eaten I would think... Seal and Zea Lion don't come in florescent orange and neon yellow
Duuude the sickest thing to me is seeing the snow mountains in the background of u surfing
So glad I surfed into your channel . Your love of nature's magic comes though so clearly. And thanks for sharing your take on how to make one's dreams come true. Shaka Brah from Grubstake
😈😈😈😈 back in the day , dudes riding wooden boards hittin slabs 😈😈😈😈
@25:50 had to fight for your right to party
Epic views and score 😎
