Ben, So cool that you were so stoked to be in France and Switzerland! You definitely do not take things for granted! It’s nice to see that! Livin the dream!
Your infectious positivity keeps the stoke flowing through anyone watching. Well done brother!!! Wishing you more stoke for you to share coming from Brevard County, Fla . 🤙🤙🤙
I was actually at the wave pool in switzerland two weeks ago and went past the lake thinking the exact same thing! I was on a train however, so no stop and rip :D Glad you did it for the crew man! Love it!
Pretty sick wave. You were definitely ripping harder on the fibo. I'm thinking a fiberglass twin fish would have been the ticket here. Either way, you were ripping on both boards!
Every time I’ve visited Thun the river has been packed and it’s an ace place - with a mass of spectators and a stylish wooden walkway bridge creating the wave.
Been meaning to tell you I surfed the other day at one of your local breaks. It was small, but supper fun. High tide, backwash, but with a nice little right coming in. It was at Bath Avenue, up there in Manasquan.
Awesome, I was just there one session before you started. Didn’t recognize you, sorry. Never thought this could bother me in any way, but I’m pretty stoked now. Hope you enjoyed it!
Haha nice to see you try surf Lake Geneva in the Swiss Riviera Montreux/Villeneuve 😅 There are a couple of "good" spots in Clarens too 🤗 Never once did I think of surfing that lake until I lived in Australia for a year. After that, I was out on every storm trying to paddle into shoredump onto 20cm of depth 🤣
I lived in Villar-Gryon for a while and saw 2 guys in Montreux with boards, running towards the lake! Could have been you 😅 As an Aussie myself, I was a little confused!
I was an Aussie snowboard bum in the Alps near lake Geneva for a few years. Wish this was there back then! I do remember sitting in traffic in Montreux and seeing 2 dudes with their shortboards run across the road towards lake Geneva!! Fair to say I was a little confused 😅
I used to live about 1 hour from SION before the wave pool was built such a cool idea. Funny story I Went back to visit the area where u jumped in the lake Ben about 4 years ago and a noticed there was actual wind swell breaking off a few jetties about waist to chest high. Turns out if you get a huge storm at the top of Lake Geneva you end up getting a fetch and small waves are made. There are a few locals that live near Lac leman ( Lake Geneva ) that know how it works. Magic seaweed did an article on them before they merged with Surfline. Might be in their Archives ?. Also how much was it per session at Aleia Bay ??
Can’t wait til we finally get those wavepools in Palm Desert California. Thinking of moving there to live the dream I’ve had since middle school now 48 and it’s almost go time.
@ 7:45 - "and it's going off...... shin - high bombs" nobody - but nobody - but the Semi-Pro himself could put that sentence together 😆 😆 🏄🏼♀ Lake Geneva = FTW
If you guys still in the swiss alps , i highly recommend you to enjoy some walking trails in the area or hit the drive from aliia bay through the Graubünden Alps to Chur - Zürich. Absolutely breathtaking scenery .... Viva la grischa y pura vida
I was in Interlochen a couple years ago, and there were a couple breaks at the spillways on the lake level control dams. One drop had a just two way rad honers, the other drop was crowded. There was a long line on a rope on the left bank. Everyone waited for their turn and used the rope to swing into the wave. When you fell, you had to swim fast to the left side to catch the rope. Some of the dudes got some long rides.
You might want to check lake neuchatel. But i guess its already too late 😅 also if you stick around in that area, check out the Matterhorn anyways. More impressive than it looks on pictures. Otherwise there is some well known Rapid Surfing in Thun
Lucky fella's getting to experience that. Would be awesome to see if you can get barrell riding board switch take-off then 180 pop shove board to normal inside or just exiting pit. Avagud1 mate, keep living up and rippin.
I'm half Swiss , have a dual citizenship, and I have several first cousins that live in Basel , Luzern , Bern and Zurich....I go to visit every 9 years and have been since 1961....My favorite town is Zermatt where I ski the Glacier even in Summer.... Switzerland is a truly amazing Country.....🇨🇭🏔️🏂🌊🔥💪👊
Our sport is amazing, but until you came along, most of us could barely be stoked until conditions were rippable and above chest high. You've saved surfing and us all at once Ben. THANK YOU.
Best bg surfing ive ever seen.
dude, I love how you are always so excited for small waves in the most unexpected places. Gives me hope while being landlocked!
Thank you! It’s a thrill for me haha
Ben,
So cool that you were so stoked to be in France and Switzerland! You definitely do not take things for granted! It’s nice to see that! Livin the dream!
Dude- your proper under worked and overpaid. Thankfully you surf, are sober
and a positive role model.
For the dream! ✌️
Thanks for showing us around Switzerland 🇨🇭
Your infectious positivity keeps the stoke flowing through anyone watching. Well done brother!!! Wishing you more stoke for you to share coming from Brevard County, Fla . 🤙🤙🤙
10:00 Red Bull cola has coca extract in it, for awhile it could be found in Albuquerque , NM.
King Ben....the music in this volg was epic....you have introduced me to so much new tunes bro!! Blessings from Cape town!
I was actually at the wave pool in switzerland two weeks ago and went past the lake thinking the exact same thing! I was on a train however, so no stop and rip :D Glad you did it for the crew man! Love it!

Nice vid like always 💥🙌
I’d totally claim and check Switzerland on the list! Way to go, Ben! 👊🏽
To be continued…..
You must Go in Oberland, in Thun, a Very nice small town , with pretty sick shallow Reef flow rider surf 🏄♀️
Every time I’ve visited Thun the river has been packed and it’s an ace place - with a mass of spectators and a stylish wooden walkway bridge creating the wave.

I thought I espied ah McCrory 5 & Dime store. We don't even have them here in tha States anymore. Guess they all moved over there in Alp's country.
@BenGravy You could come Bungeesurfing on the River with our crew in Zurich! How long are you still around?
Music was awesome
Wish I could traveled there with you! It looks really amazing!!! Unfortunalty I had to work 😓😓😓
Such a nice spot to learn
for surfable waves in lake geneva, lake neuchatel oder bodensee (there is a real surfing scene) you got better chances between autumn and spring....
BG has the BEST B Roll on YT !
Whoop whoop 🙌🏼 🎉
Loved it bros ❤
Ben if you ever go back we want to see you snowboard, skate and surf in the same day!
Sick vlog!
It looked awesome there, I didn't realize there were two Lake Geneva's
@ 7:45 - "and it's going off...... shin - high bombs" nobody - but nobody - but the Semi-Pro himself could put that sentence together 😆 😆 🏄🏼♀ Lake Geneva = FTW
You have gotten So much better that 360 going left
If you guys still in the swiss alps , i highly recommend you to enjoy some walking trails in the area or hit the drive from aliia bay through the Graubünden Alps to Chur - Zürich.
Absolutely breathtaking scenery .... Viva la grischa y pura vida

Loved the comedy bit about your uncle!
Next time you should check the river surfing. We can get chest high river waves!
nice music!!!

The World Tour. I thought you were joking. Epic!
Theres alot of amazing river waves , hope you find some ice cold dreamers
cobblestone point hahahaha yessss
Ben do you remember me? You took a picture with me my dad and my sister at the Cincinnati Red Bull fultag event!
Lucky fella's getting to experience that. Would be awesome to see if you can get barrell riding board switch take-off then 180 pop shove board to normal inside or just exiting pit. Avagud1 mate, keep living up and rippin.

46.40267122805568, 6.925779145106111 In case anyone is wondering where that bomb left is in Lac Léman 😂
it's weird now when i'm base jumping in there i can surf too. i swear i even recognised one of those cliffs
Ben.. a few weeks back, you said you would no longer be riding soft tops.. may I ask why are you are still riding soft tops??
Can you feel the difference riding fresh water waves as opposed to salt water waves? There less buoyancy in fresh water.
Ah men...should have come try bungeesurfing with us in Zürich :)
Surprised to see Ben actually surfs quite good. I’ve only ever seen him grovelling on the those garbage harbour waves. Those threeos were cool.
Nifty!
You are for sure the very first person ever to surf that wave
I love shin high bombs! 😄
How does it cost a full day ticket there?
Gravy the man
Our sport is amazing, but until you came along, most of us could barely be stoked until conditions were rippable and above chest high. You've saved surfing and us all at once Ben. THANK YOU.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
"Sport" ??
So sick. Hoping South Jersey gets something like this.
Come to Tenerife in winter, best place in Europe for surfing !!!
How much was that pool ?
Groovy music
Cobblestone point was heavy.
Surfing Da Dream
