      Interesting. I was listening to a program on RNZ about mental health, and a surfer was promoting surfing as a treatment for anxiety and depression. Sounded reasonable to me.

    Happy Birthday Ben! 35 years old! Perfect time in life to start your family. You have a Great Wife. You are full of love. Got yourself a rescue dog, etc. Have a kid or adopt a kid. You're ready for the next phase; becoming parents. God Bless!

    Ben.
    Happy b-day to you. Sobriety is the best.
    Im turning 60 in April going on a surf trip with my wife. Probably Bali. I just want to thank you for your incredible stoke for surfing and life. You are responsible for me being in top shape with a quiver of boards and ready to go out and shred the gnar any day.
    First a trip to Mexico to warm up then Bali in April. All thanks to you.
    Surfing is life. The feel of the water that surrounds the earth. When we’re in we touch every living thing.
    Water is life
    Looks like a fun day to be in Jersey.
    Keep up the stoke Ben!

    The Stoke is real....You're quite the inspiration and everyone should feed off that....I try and surf every day at a heavy beach break near me because I love it....The natural adrenaline boost is what I live for , whether it's surfing or snowboarding, and I'm 62.....Never , never lose the Stoke..... Happy Birthday also......🌊🏄🏂🔥💪👊

    Had surfer's ear surgery in 2019. Ear's were fully overgrown, 99 percent in my right ear and 94 in my left. Could not go under water once without them getting clogged. Dr. McAfee at Coastal ENT in Neptune is your guy. The best. Trained under the surgeon in Santa Cruz who pioneered the technique. He chisels the growth away, much like a diamond cutter. No drill involved. Did one ear in March and one in April. I had only slight pain from the surgery (some people I know have had more). 100 percent recommended, as I haven't worn earplugs since and my ears are completely clear.

    Ben, just don't forget about preparing for some semblance of retirement. It'll come up kinda fast. I got sober at 42 and found myself in respiratory school at 48 yrs of age. 2 yrs of school and I got a good job. Respiratory Therapist. Three 12 hour shifts per week. Plenty of time to still surf, fish, camp, travel. And I'll get a pension cuz I got a job at COUNTY hospital. Life is good sober AND prepared. Peace

    5 months back on the sober train after 2.5 years doing more research, almost killed me. I never stopped watching your vlogs, although it was tough watching the positivity when I was in a super dark place. Wednesday before Thanksgiving i was paddling out at 39th street ship bottom and almost died on one of those bombs 💣 we're all just human, stay humble, stay teachable, stay grateful 🤙

    Hey Ben, I always really enjoy your content mate, I just made six months sober today and your chat at the start of this vlog really resonated with me. Every day is a choice, I choose life and positive vibes.
    If you are ever coming to Western Australia look me up, I live in Dunsborough, Margaret River area and have a BnB. Be great to show you some of the great waves down here. 🙏

    Happy Birthday Ben! 35 is a really good age. I turn 59 next week. Boy, i have lived some life. I really appreciate what you do and filming your life in real time.
    I can't help notice the contrast between hard board and soft top surfing. With that Jersey Shore pound, you would think the hardboard would be faster but, correct me if im wrong, you were getting shacked with the soft top fish board easier? It looks like a good Boogie Board wave.
    One year what!? Dennis is such a blessing in your household. Dogs are definitely man's best friend! 💜
    Lastly, the kid who returned your camera should be hooked up like a tow-truck for his honesty. Thanks for the positive vibes. Since watching your vlogs, ive quit smoking, i gained 100 pounds during covid and i got injured hard in 2020. I've started working out with a trainer and eating super clean. Crazy enough, i quit drinking without even thinking about it. I found drinking more than one drink was boring and 25 years of playing drums in bars, i was tired of what i experienced with drunk patrons. I'm just over with booze. For the Dream ❣️ 🌊🏄🌴🌺

    I've had surfer ear surgery twice. You do not want them drilled you want the ecstocis micro chiseled. Much more modern and much less recovery time. Dr. HETZLER in Santa Cruz Ca. Specializes in it. That's all he does because of the cold water in Santa Cruz. He does both ears at the same time in half the time other surgeons take by Drilling.

    Happy BDay Ben. Surfer's ear can be rough, the scan will help determine the bone growth in your ears and it's not a pleasant thing to have it drilled out according to a few friends but you have to get it done or the bone will continue to grow until your ear is closed up.

    Hey Ben, first time commenter but I had to get surgery for my own surfer’s ear a few years back. It may be a mission to make it all the way out west but theres a doctor in Santa Cruz, Dr. Douglas Hezler, who pioneered a new way to do the surfer’s ear surgery that is WAY less intensive and gnarly as the usual practice. No drills, no incisions, nothing heavy like that. He goes in with a tiny chisel and its way less invasive and hard on the body. The recovery period is way smaller and my ears have never been better. You should check it out and see if its something that makes sense for you!

    • @scottysmusickauai
      @scottysmusickauai 10 месяцев назад

      That's who I used. He was great. I had it done back in the 90s the old-fashioned way and it was awful. Hetzler did it for me 4 years ago and it was a breeze. No pain at all. Did both ears in half the time other doctors would take for one ear.
