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!
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
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.
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.
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.
A few days ago, I remembered Nub Tv, and thought, "I wonder if these legends are still around?" I went to the mother channel, and found nothing new, but had some great laughs reminiscing about the good ol days. Came to this channel, and was plesently surprized with you introduction mentioning Nub Nation, and having an actual high quality video. New sub immediately. SKIIIIIIIIYOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Magical. Love the dedication to making it happen. It was absolutely worth it. I love how you show the different ways to work the elements in surfing. Thank you for sharing!
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...
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!
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
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 !
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...
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 👍
I also have an addiction used to be surfing and drugs mostly alcohol I moved inland but you inspire me you actually started inspire me several years I go I wish I had your life

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!!!🤙...
Of all the tidal bores in the world, this has to be the one which is set it the most fantastic scenery!
"Any condition into Jay Bay." I'm gonna quote you on this... full cred!! Love your spirit. thanks for sharing you life with us.
You are one of my favorite youtube personalities. You and your crew have the best vibes.
Been surfing this place for years. Crazy good break if you time it right. Cool video.

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.

Ben you are a well traveled man for the dream be safe Dennis is gonna miss ya nub nation for the win
what an amazing life you have ben. so stoked for you.
I LOVE that drive from Anchorage to Seward. So beautiful.
Got chills at 26:00 Epic video!
Ben and Blair. That's it. That's as good as it gets. Love the vibes!
This is like seeing a really trippy skateboard spot and Ben is showing the world the oddities in surfing that few see/notice
such a great crew of guys! You can always tell how solid a dude is by how many times he kisses his dog goodbye
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.

Great crew! Exceptional edit!! And an absolutely EPIC location!!! Loved every minute and already looking forward to the next video!
I’ve been laid up in the hospital watching you buddy , I can’t wait to get back out there . Thanks for being you .
Ben not living the dream he is creating it as he goes along on this merry adventure. Amazing footage. Stay stoked.
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👍😎...
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...
This is the most epic footage
This video was awesome! Expedition success, real life show of working with nature! Great job Ben! For Real!!!
Novelty king for life. Well done. Never really ever seen anyone else do what you do. Surfing with those mountains in the background??? what.
Ben your stoke was off the scale throughout this video, what an adventure.
The most Epic Ride for The one and only Ben Gravy!! Still stoking us all out!!!
Love it! It keeps on inspiring me! I likely will be on that tidal bore one day!
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
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!

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
So sick! The flamboyant Brazzo was classic warning you all to have an escape plan.

Long way to go for a freezing cold closeout Ben ...thanks for the inspiration as usual mate.
