Yeah, and the crowd's reaction to them rolling down to the cove was like Munson's entry to that movie. The only thing missing was someone giving Ben their slice of pizza.
Me and my friends from Kansas are signed up for your surf school at Big Rock next year. We are all super stoked. You and Zeke are proof that La Jolla waves are for everyone.
@@zachnewsom4071ignorance! I learned to surf at Big Rock. Big west swell, low tide. That's where my surf school took us! It was a blast. Locals were sweethearts! The waves were playful
It's always nice to see the cove breaking. I remember back in 1985 I saw it breaking six times overhead! I headed down there planning to paddle out until I looked at it and then turned around and went back to get my camera. Sadly, I don't know what I ever did with those shots...
I was just telling my wife about that swell. When people say this was a once in a lifetime swell I say not in my lifetime - I have seen a few. But then again I remember when the HB pier was made of wood, Main St was one way & The Golden Bear still had bands playing. I bet The Frog House in Newport Beach probably still has the picture of a wave breaking OVER the HB pier and taking out The End Cafe. circa 1985
wow! This might the earliest I've ever been to the comments. I dont know what to say. Thanks for regularly producing some of the best surf content out there.
Wave I'll never forget .... going right inside Makaha, throwing a frontside cutback , banking off the back wash wave and coming back out riding the backwash wave back out over inside reef! MK ! In and out! 1970s!
First, stoked that you were there Ben. My apologies for not keeping in touch recently Second, Zeke. All of your elders are happy for your success. But money is not going to buy you a spot in the lineup and you know that you've been told. Now continue down that road of success with a better attitude. Aloha nui
It looks like a mini Nazare out there... So funny how Ben blew by that dude on the drop in on that way too tiny shortboard for those super big waves but at least he was trying!! NICCCCCCCCCCCEEEEE YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!! ✌️ 😎 ✌️
Best quality backwash sidebar novelty wave I've seen in S.D. is in my local zone in C-bad. Only scored it once though. Backwash that has the potential to offer mini right barrels and diagonals that turn even cross-shore, so you can even ride parallel to the beach not just out-to-sea! 💪💯
Gnarly swell lines and skip charged it the hardest than the rest. It was cleaner in the 90’s as it was shown in a video called Gravity Suck. Super sick flick overall.
So a guy borrows a board he's never ridden & paddles out in historic breaks and still the trolls swarm like fleas? LOL! Ben charges a gun hitting the lip - epic! "Cast off the scoffers"!
Don't know about those dropins, Ben...but I've surfed LJ as a visitor and you definitely need to take your waves assertively or you'll just be watching the kelp patches.
18:00 found a couple photos i took of it breaking back in Jan 2017. Maybe 10-15 guys out. That swell was massive, came out of nowhere and caught a lot of people off guard
Ben, it's a repost of a poem I created (in part with ChatGPT) a while back. I posted it already over on Jamie's blog. "Pele - The Fiery Bitch" In the heart of Hawaii, where the mountains kiss the sky. Lives a goddess named Pele, with a fiery eye. She wanted love and respect, from her people, so true, But when they didn't listen, her anger grew. Pele, the goddess of fire, fierce and bright, With her heart ablaze, and her temper's might, Oh, Pele, oh, Pele, calm your fiery soul, Let's find a way to make your spirit whole. She danced upon the molten earth, a fury in her heart, The people tried to please her, but it tore them apart, The flames of her desires, burned hot and wild, They longed for the day when she'd again be mild. They sought a wise kahuna, to heal her wounded soul, With words and sacred rituals, they tried to make her whole, But Pele's temper raged, like the fiery lava's flow, They wondered if a psychologist might know. Oh, Pele, the goddess, with your fiery might, In the depths of your anger, we see your inner fight, Perhaps some gentle exercise could ease your soul's unrest, To cool the flames of your fury, to bring you peace and rest. The people prayed for Pele, in their own special way, But she didn't appreciate that middle finger, so she decided to linger. Yes, that's right, she decided to linger... --------------------------------------------------------------- NSII Ben - you got 7 days left starting tomorrow. Get 'er done.
Gravy and Zeke in a mission 2 dudes Oh Yea, Bitchin Go to the deli in the wetsuit Order the Gravy Burger Rock n Roll riff These dudes Yea they Rip Watch out Surfers Here they come Gravy Express
Skip is a legend!!! Zeke, Skip and the boys are right about the last time LJ Cove. Takes a big West swell and every time to whole town including the News shows up. SD will always be a surf city
I don't know why all the hype, the waves were mushy close outs, there are a lot of better waves in N. County at all the reefs that were going off, this swell will go down in history as some of the biggest waves we've had in my life time I think the waves that hit New Jersey looked a little scarier then here, Thanks Ben for all your stoke.

Bens hair looks like Bill murray's from the movie King Pin lol The older generation will know what I'm talking about. 10:00
Yeah, and the crowd's reaction to them rolling down to the cove was like Munson's entry to that movie. The only thing missing was someone giving Ben their slice of pizza.
We don’t have a cow!
Ah man, that’s harsh. He’s got more hair than that! Luckily he’s a pretty good looking dude so he can always buzz it if it creeps back too far.
Ben murray
And his hair just subtly keeps getting crazier every scene through out the movie.
You guys are killin' it! Ignore the noise, Ben and Zeke collabs got me stoked🤙
Big wave Dave is a legend that died on his board in the Humboldt bay harbor entrance. There’s a memorial for him at the eureka jetty spot.
Me and my friends from Kansas are signed up for your surf school at Big Rock next year. We are all super stoked. You and Zeke are proof that La Jolla waves are for everyone.
Hahaha
the rock sure Ain't for everyone

Good Job Ben.. love it when you connect! Y'all got schooled by Skip.. cool story. Killer footage. The force is with you.
Nice novelty barrel @8:36! "Dude, that wave was so heavy it was like concrete!"
The guy on the yellow board can really surf. Still remember my first 15 ft wave dropping in at Sunset. 1968 on my Skip Frye gun.
Love the colabs with Zeke. Always fun
First, stoked that you were there Ben. My apologies for not keeping in touch recently
Second, Zeke. All of your elders are happy for your success. But money is not going to buy you a spot in the lineup and you know that you've been told. Now continue down that road of success with a better attitude.

NICCCCCCCCCCCEEEEE YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!

I've seen the cove twice this size somewhere between 2007-2010.
Congrats on the Surfline shout out last week🤙🏾🤙🏾
Awesome vlog boys! Let the good times roll!
Best quality backwash sidebar novelty wave I've seen in S.D. is in my local zone in C-bad. Only scored it once though. Backwash that has the potential to offer mini right barrels and diagonals that turn even cross-shore, so you can even ride parallel to the beach not just out-to-sea! 💪💯
Gladiators and spectators at the cove!🤙🍍😎
Gnarly swell lines and skip charged it the hardest than the rest. It was cleaner in the 90’s as it was shown in a video called Gravity Suck. Super sick flick overall.
Absouloutly Insane how you sickos have ramped up your content and surfing content Great job mate
05:52 +1 for the original #fastandfurious reference 🤘🤘🤘
Nice!...but your waves at Black's were way gnarlier!🤙🏻For the dream!
So a guy borrows a board he's never ridden & paddles out in historic breaks and still the trolls swarm like fleas? LOL! Ben charges a gun hitting the lip - epic! "Cast off the scoffers"!
Insane waves!!! This doesn't happen often but when it does.... look out 👀
This one was nuts!!! 🥳🤙
Cool shot of Black's north parking area and gliderport goat trail at the bottom @16:39

❤ Gravy with my Zeke
Wow dumpin. Zeek surfing uploads are always my fav

Surfed it giant swell of1983 only three of us out.

8:37 is the wall barrel of the century
what up gravy snakin' all the waves???
Ben “click bait” Gravy
SMOKINNN
Call that place the snow plow. Because of the wall shape and the effect it has on the back washer
That novelty wave should be called “Gutterballs”
Haha that’s awesome
So sollay, I envision walrus piss as the vibe......
Surprised zeke let you post this, since he is the only one allowed to film and post waves over there

Big ol mush burgers at the Cove.
Ya, la Jolla funkyzeit
More episodes of Ben and Zeke!!!
I don't know why all the hype, the waves were mushy close outs, there are a lot of better waves in N. County at all the reefs that were going off, this swell will go down in history as some of the biggest waves we've had in my life time I think the waves that hit New Jersey looked a little scarier then here, Thanks Ben for all your stoke.
Big Wednesday as referred to, was in 2007.
I think the cove broke last year january. But yeah since then, probably 2014
Freaking legends !
Super power 😮 yeww
Big, cold, and messy.
What's so good about it?
Nice bro
