- A massive cold front hit Mel Beach Florida & a slew of loc dog heavys were claiming it's the best it's been since 91' easyyyyyyy. Nothing like some tasty dreamers & some cold air temps to get the mid length peculating down the line. Thanks for all the stoke, next stop Canada! - Ben

91 was the hell swell on Halloween the perfect storm! It was so big only reef rd and south beach were rideable, mabey rc's.
growing up surfing new smyrna, Sebastian inlet, Pelican and Melbourne i know that stoke of a perfect east coast day ..... such a good feeling
riding unicorns....for the dream
I grew up surfing all over Florida from the early 1980's through the 2010's and in your dad's defense ......when it's 40 degrees in Florida......it's freezing ! I live in Missouri now and when it's in the 40's .....I'm the guy in flip flops and shorts and a t-shirt ! In Florida at 40 degrees the locals dressed like they're going on an Arctic expedition ! Surf looked really fun ! I surfed Ft.Pierce North Jetty on the morning of the Halloween swell in 91' and the Boardwalk in Melbourne that afternoon .......it was the biggest I've ever seen that part of Florida get at both places ! I have seen Reef rd. at a solid 20' +++ back in 1989 and the only place Ive seen bigger was Hermosa Beach in Costa Rica on macker of a South swell in the mid 1990's ! It was cartoon big with no channels anywhere ! Guys out on 9'-10' guns and they looked like ants on a wall dropping in ! But I digress........have a dreamer of a 2023 !
That dub reggae soundtrack was the bomb,it really fitted the action.Uncle Tony's input was excellent too!
Man I love your parents😂
They are like a “cherry on top” of your content
100%
I surfed that swell in '91 at Spanish House, right up the road. Great memories! You are the man, Ben. FOR THE DREAM!
@@datapusher- it was tough making it outside in my Halloween costume.
@@datapusher- he aways goofs around w the titles . Theres been plenty of days comparable to this vid since 91. Oct 91 wasnt for someone recovering no doubt .
@@datapusher- totally agree. This title is a joke. Click bait.
Totally get your dad not wanting to go out in the cold LOL. You and the gravy navy did a great job on the property clean up! Woot! 🍍💛💚🧡
Thanks !
@Ben Gravy try get Sasquatch into some nice peeling lefts one day. Take him to Pavones or Sayulita for a couple weeks. Dude deserves it 100%. Alohas from the 808.
*That grom in the fist clip is the dream hype man! haha 🔥*
Oh praise the Lord. That's nice. Thanks for posting. Love to Central FL. Slater, one word.
Love the Dubby Roots vibes IRIE MON!!!
Dog love and surfing some nice waves. Life can be so wonderful. You and I experiencing new dog bonding at the same time. I got a young lab pup about the same time you did. Unconditional love.
impromptu Saturday contest, like the Eddy, call it the Benny lol forgoetaboutit
I love you when you call Dennis your son and Boy!!! Keep loving him! Thank you for the content. I hope your collarbone injury is healing well!
Opening scene wave looked like a Peru pointbreak! Left broke for days! Yewwww!!!
Dreamer Lefts!!! 🫵🤙
Wide open wall with plenty of vert!! I love the treasure coast waves. Miss surfing Sebastian Inlet. JS3 music and I write ROCK from the heart of North Carolina coast line.
...cause i´m lazy and it´s cold haaaahahaha - your dad is a legend
Surprising how quickly your conditioning slips when you have to take off for recovery, but it will return quickly. Some beautiful waves and water! That yard looks fantastic - great job to all!
Thank you !
Another great video. Livin the dream. Ben for the Win!
Awesome , glad you could enjoy it.
That's just a 👍 great day.. thanks for the smile you brought to my face this morning dude..miss those days..
Grom claimed "it's lining up like Trestles out there."
EASY GROM
😂😂😂
🤙🏻🌊🍍
I remember 91 Spanny house going off and off shore camera's every where and a rumble in the jungle.
mini ben is ripping
Rylee for the DREAM!! Thanks Ben!! It was a total blast🤙
Nowhere near the Halloween swell in North/Central Florida in 91' It was peeling like that, but about 4x bigger and longer rides. Some of the Hope team in Flagler had there big guns on that day! Took a little effort to paddle out as there was an inside and outside break.
Theres old vids of that swell on here too.
Wilbur by the Sea and Ponce was on fire that swell.
The swell in this video wasn't even the best of the year for us... or the 2nd... or 3rd... or even 4th or 5th if you count the Earl and Nicole day after madness. We have to learn who these "loc dog heavy's" are so we can take their surfing license away immediately.
@@gromm225for real. Definitely a couple fun ones in this video but not even near the best we’ve had in the past 365 days. Let alone since ‘91. I like Ben Gravy but this video was a joke!
@@gromm225Nicole or Ian the day after as it was passing over us and breeze was switching offshore but still gusting to 40kts was absolutely insane. Some of the best and most intense barrels I’ve ever seen. Can’t remember if it was Nicole or Ian lol I was on some shrooms. Surfing that shit was insane. Had to watch the radar and not get caught out there while the bands were passing over.
Yeww! That was a great swell! Snagging pallets, chopping trees, close outs in 1ft sandbars and being blessed with a few tubes! Good times bro.
Next level, Sk8 park in the backyard.
Yard Core 🍍🤙🏽
That kid, "it looks like lines at Trestles" 🤣🤣🤣
The Halloween swell of October 91' was on the cover of Surfer/Surfing mag, with Bill Johnson doing a sick bottom turn on a bomb at RC's! The cover caption read, THIS IS FLORIDA!!! 💪
Beautiful waves on Close-Out Beach...
Caught chills on the zig and zag .
Might of been the best chillish swag I’ve ever seen .
What a wonderful life, never let yourself, take it away from you. Your channel is awesome.
Omg so perfect. 😬
Uncle Tony's Van is vibin 🤙 Those were some dreamers! 91 Halloween weekend was legend 🌊 loved the gravy vibes in Florida hope you'll be back soon!
I feel for your dad, I was a shredder in the '80s and '90s too but once you're well over 50 popping up and surfing ain't fun no more when you can't rip like you used to better to just watch the young rippers.
Lots of people in their 50s still shred! I get it if he doesn’t want to surf in the cold tho. Being wet and cold isn’t for everyone. I have a great surf spot a couple hour away from me and never surf there at all cause the water is way too cold. Just can’t do it.
Haven’t watched in a while. Thanks for the Stoke! JV Rocks!
Ben your mom and dad 'goin at it' was hilarious omg...Note to self don't let that happen to me
Ben brother wear that seatbelt my guy! You never know what will happen in Florida. You're missing some epic Hawaiian dream swells. Much love from Washington State... keep dreaming on that gravy grind.
The big dawg is back!!!!! Ripping!
That was epic. I feel renewed every time I watch the surf action. Keep up the stoke in 2023.
Ben your surfing is back ! J Verne really is getting some great camera footage.Gotta give her a raise.Uncle Tony and his van.Jamaican jam . Legendary.🤟
Sasquatch and your mom are straight up comedy gold!
GREAT TO SEE YOU BACK AND SMILING ! FOR THE DREAM 🤙
MORE DEN GRAVY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌊🌊
I finally got my truck fixed ready to go surfing this weekend love the positivity Ben Gravy spreads the stoke. The seaweed problem is real here in South Florida I tried a barrel roll yesterday with my tail mount on my fiberglass surfboard
Shark pit in the mid 70’s.A year to remember.
The old man needs a Caribbean vacation!
You're collarbone's still messin with you I see.
Take it easy Brudduh 🤙🙏🤙🐼😎🤙🙏
Dude the pallet fence is awesome!! Definitely made that work. Cool project! Great waves. Can’t wait to get back out there myself! Keep charging.
halloween day 1991!! i was 19 and have never seen surf that big in daytona beach! it was amazing
What a amazing trip! fixing up the Gravy digs, Uncle Tony and that sweet van! Those waves were dreamers for sure, cant say I ever saw anything like them here on LI. Your a lucky man to have all that you have, thanks for all the good vibes. Sorry pops was so bummed out, but love how you keep it real, and unfiltered.
So glad to see ya back in action and stoked on exploring the big blue world again.
Triggered some memories for me. Was my stomping grounds back in the 70's till '99. Sold real estate back then and I sure wish I had bought that old 20's two story bungalow just off A1A a block north of 5th av. for 40 grand. Sure that scene has changed dramatically since those golden days. Bye tha by, love the music scoring in this one. And not sure why you're in Jersey and not residing permanently in Sunny Florida?.I'm presently north of Tampa in Hudson. Would much prefer beaches in Brevard county. Patiently waiting for that big lotto score to get out of here. If big enough it's back to Waikiki. Medium win, take down my walkin' cane, tie on my travelin' shoes & it's back to good 'ole Indiatlantic.
I love a fat twin fish in shoulder high waves, they're so fun how squirrely you can get on them!!!
The perfect storm swell was nuts in Brevard.
keep the stoke alive Ben and keep spreading positivity, love the content.
Thank you !
Looks like a great day 🤙🐼😎🤙🙏🤙🤙
Of course ben gravy surfing down the street from me and that weekend I decided to head to Juno lol 🤙 fun swell glad you got some yeww
The halloween swell in 91. I still remember getting many great rides!
O my lord soooooogood!! Yewwwwww
That's some sweet florida waves
Wow that adventure was epic ! Great sense of humor from the photographer!
Stoked on the dad and daughter surfing.
Who remembers the probiotics bar far bar & gnar bar…so classic
That is just not fair! I grew up in Melbourne fl and visit a couple weeks every year since the 90s and I have only seen the waves that good a handful of times
Getting old myself and not surfing nearly as well as I used to, I totally understand your dad's frustration about it. I would imagine that's compounded by the fact that he's put on camera. I don't know your whole family dynamic but I imagine that he'd probably feel better about surfing if he didn't feel the scrutiny. I know I would. My 2 cents : )
I get it how you surf across the street instead of going up Sat Bch. Filming and stuff and locals that act like locals. Your stoke and positivity is the best. Alohas from the 808.
First !! Time for VeroMikes ! Stoked.
Sasquash calling his wife "Dude". Classic Squash...
Doesn’t everyone? I call mine dude too and she calls me it also. Can get a bit confusing when drunk though 😂
😆😆😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude You’ve got 3 sweatshirts on
I’m addicted to your vids
Awesome video!! Really looking forward to your next video! Those waves look awesome!!
Loved it Ben🤙

Riley shredding you boys out the water!! looks fun
Super cool Vid. Good things happen to good people. Proof.

@8:02 Ben is like "GET ME OUT!", on the inside but on the outside, "It's 50."
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy! Thats Funny! Great Video
Swell of the epoch!
I was thinking about your mid-length for those peelers as well. Sick vlog!
Man those waves and water look beautiful! Pretty big swell.
Not sure about that. I drove from the Panhandle to St. Augustine on 2009 for Hurricane Bill and it was mackin!
I live in Florida, love the yard.
sasquatch kills me
YOUR BLESSED.......A TURTLE,,,,,WOW......to bad it went on shore and tide change.....
Awesome vid man, welcome to Florida!! I was fortunate enough to see you at Publix when you were in town. Keep shredding it man 🤙
That area is one of Florida’s best kept secrets.
Especially be careful in New Smyrna is very shuriki there
Nice.....🌊🏄🔥💪👊
Yo Uncle Tony 🤙
Uncle Tony for the win
