- In my opinion there's 3 greats in surfing: Kelly Slater, Jamie Obrien & Gerry Lopez. The fact that I've been able to surf with all of them is completely unbelievable! Thank you to Lake Side Surf, Chelan for having us & letting us enjoy the endless surf that Washington state has to offer. This is a historic moment for me & something I will never forget, FOR THE DREAM!! - Ben

Lopez is still the man , what a legend. That’s so great to see him surf still my hero.
Niu valley represent!
I got goosebumps when Gerry stepped on the scene at the wave pool. That’s so gnarly that he moved to Oregon to surf river waves! That had to be such a shock temperature wise. I’m from Washington and always get overwhelmed by the sun in Hawaii when I visit. FOR THE DREAM!
So true and he also moved to snowboard big time at Mount Bachelor riding on perfect almost horizontal turns !
Jerry is right about the 80s. A real local problem happened and even beefs between locals. Right down to streets hitting PCH locations and tower spots.
Surfing alone wasn’t safe. Before parking you’d look for cars of people you knew, this was in your own town/s.
Anyone living in Seal Beach through HB many considered to be a local to both. Seemed within weeks or months wars started out and challenging everyone to a right to be in the water.
Surfers went from being the coolest mellowest kinds to A-holes. Sharing a pipe before heading out with strangers soon became a thing of the past.
Growing up in Malibu on weekends and spending summers there til moving there in 82 after high school. I saw the same thing happen there. But that was between locals and valley peoples. Locs vs. Vals was the term. I always just surfed the cove where I lived.
Malibu then was still small and tight.
It’s a trip to watch old surf films and every wave just about is a party wave and they all had smiles on their mugs.
Then it was more about going left or right so more fit. Today it’s a lot of cutbacks than smooth carving so not as much room.
Because of shoulder, neck, knee and other problems I haven’t surfed in years.
Still watch the videos though.
Gerry is so fluid. Seeing Mason Ho out with his dad is amazing too.
I still sidewalk surf getting my leans in.
Super cool comment I believe I looked up to your generation and gave you guys a bunch of respect back in the days and still do and I really appreciate the respect that was always given back even just a smile what up or just chin up what’s up and a this one’s all you go motivation to the grins met a lot back then and even now. Not many people having fun but trying to paddle around and snake people these days and the teenagers sound like all of them have been cloned to repeat the same wired nonsense coming out their mouths to try and sound so cool, it’s frustrating listening to it and actually very annoying although I try and help the youth when I can without trying to put them down but instead try to help them with their surfing but I only help single individuals and not a pack of rats because that’s just too much to handle. Anyway sorry for the blah blah blah. Keep it real as you have been, peace.
Epic! Congratulations J Vern on 9 years of sobriety!
Ben gravey has now become. A legend with gerry and jamie
Love the Jackson Lebsack shoutout, dude’s literally crushing it
There's legends and then there's LEGENDS!!!!
Gerry Lopez is a surfing Legend, period! Before Jamie was the Alpha Dog of Pipeline there was Gerry, the GOAT of Pipeline. The knowledge, the style, the surfing of Pipe is legendary.... And Ben believe his words, you are a treasure to surfing.
Ben's reaction to meeting Gerry Lopez is like my reaction to meeting Ben Gravy
Words of wisdom from the master! You were ripping on the ⚡️ Ben! I hope you get a board from Gerry! 🏄♂️
This guy literally saved surfing’s life 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
Gerry looks so happy! He has so much knowledge to share with the world! The aerial footage of him surfing is silky smooth! 🤙🏼
DUUUUDE the words that MR LOPEZ spoke are priceless YOU will NEVER FORGET that talk yeeeewwwww🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 for the dream
Amazing timing! My last session at Doheny (Wednesday last week) I started thinking how much surfing has changed. I'm 74 and remember the welcoming feeling in the early 60's when I started and how much it's changed. You can forgive the beginner who doesn't know better or is struggling especially at Doheny but the bad attitudes of experienced people who think you owe them something not so much. Such a shame something as special as surfing is seeing this happen! Thankfully there's still plenty of people like you, Gerry, Jaime, Tina, Jordan and the rest of us that are still mellow and surf for the connection and joy of it. For the others I hope you figure it out!
Well said, Jim.
Right on Legend Jim !
gidget fuked everything up in CA. i was there...it went from casual to aggressive in a heartbeat

Historic is right. Gerry Lopez was the original soul surfer, and you are the new breed.
Legendary Vlog Ben and thanks for letting the boys know I Lebsack'd the s#%t outta that mountain angle hahaha, hope to shred the Columbia soon brother!
If anyone ruined surfing it's surfline. Ben gravy though? Not a chance! Keep the stoke alive Mr. Gravy, absolute LEGEND.
Yeah Surfline RUINED the days when the surf would be good so we could beat the uninformed crowd of kooks . Before Surfline waterman would gather the buoy reports,wind and tide charts to analyze the situation. Now Everyone shows up. F Surfline !
Jerry my favorite surfer period. King of the Pipeline with pure liquid excellence.
I know it feels amazing to hear those words from Gerry Lopez.
What about a live band at sunset on that wave? Heavy drums and bass. Ben - take those truths from Gerry. You the man. You’re a master manifester. Pineapple-head surfing was legend. Happy anniversary.
That would be sick ! Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙌🏻
WHAT A GREAT LIFE FOR YOU AND JORDAN TO HAVE. BEAUTIFUL, THANK YOU
Wow! What a treat to meet and surf with such a legend!
Wonderfulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, for the Dream
Congrats on 9, nine years J.V. ! That's Huge!
The Pineapple wet suit = EPIC! ❤️🏄♂️🤙
Gerry Lopez, are you freaking kidding me, a pure gentleman! Peace
That Lopez FLOW , like watching an old friend !!!
Ben you just got blessed with compliments from a surf guru of the highest level. Congrats ! You've worked so hard and risked it all. So proud of a fellow east coaster to have reached this level. As Mr pipeline said you carved your own path. Nobody did it for you. Your now a legend too. So stoked for you. Good work !

Bunch of freakin legends ripping!
Gerry's words to you represent what we all think of your accomplishments. Stay stoked!!! p.s. Your view on Gerry is what we think of you. Legend!!!🤜🍍🤛
That was one amazing vlog.
Epic - Jerry is such a soul guy - amazing
9 years sobski, congrats JVerN🥳 love the content Ben, keep up the hard work. Way more than a surf vlog, lifestyle!💪
thank you!
Such a legendary vlog!!! Congrats jordan on 9 years sober! Lopez is right, you ARE a treasure to surfing! For the dream!
Gerry is so much more than a Legend.
Jerry Lopez what an amazing being. And as far as you ruining surfing screw that you highlight the most important part of surfing FUN
Truly, Truly for the dream ✌🏽❤️🌊🍍
So good. So humble. Love it!
Gerry Freakin Lopez, wow, for the dream and Laird thought your polar plunge was cute, love the photo with the gang, what a day.
I was so into the Lightning Bolt and Lopez in the 70s I still rock the Pure Source T-Shirt
How cool surfing with the man himself!
Ben your a legend u deserve all the good that comes your way💯
Love when you all come together to surf. Soon much fun!
It makes me sad to realize how few viewers will genuinely appreciate what a giant Gerry Lopez is to the history of surfing. To those of us who took up the lifestyle in the early/mid-sixties he still embodies "a pure source." There were many casualties from that generation of surfers and those of us who have survived into our 70s look back fondly on that era. This might be a good time to remind all to pray for Sunny Garcia. Aloha!
Sunday morning stoke for the dream 🍍 🤙
What a sesh! Great vlog AGAIN!
I met Lopez the legend once when I lived on Maui. Super nice guy.
Big Dawg Gerry, Legendary!
Truly amazing. Thank you, Ben!
Jordan; one day at a time, for the dream! 6-22-15 for me. Go girl!
Keep doing it! Dreaming!! 🤙🏻
Epic, Ben! Gerry Lopez!! There’s nothing else to say.
Awesomely awesome my biggest hero growing up as a grom and still till today .I had his photos from the mag in my B.R along with Cheryl tiegs and other girls Lolo
Gerry?....It is lke having the Pope bless you by his comments about you!! Aloha
Jerry what a legend, great words from the leg
So much stoke epic in so many ways big up big up 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I am 53 and my favorite board is a 6 0 Gerry Lopez Something Fishy Quad! Gerry pulled a 1970's Steve List Fish out of his rafter and put in the computer and added his own tweaks! It is Epoxy core with Polyurethane rails! It has the speed of a Ferrari and the PU rails add power 2 the turns! It is Gerry Lopez Red with white lightning bolts on all 4 rails from Tip to Tail! Wall hanger and Shred Stick!
Lopez the Legend!!! 🙏🤙
162k subs, You are soon going to be 200k. Epic!
We have the same energy! why can’t I seem to find others who are always ready for a adventure
I'm 11 months late, but so awesome Ben! Right on
Nice, You met GL!!! Great vlog
Could be a fun addition to the blog to teach J Verne to surf and document her progress. Could cost you a lot of bling to convince her to try it.
This was a sick vid bro. First saw Lopez when I was younger on endless summer 2. Thought he was cool then, cooler now. If Sponge Bob's house was a human. 🤣🤣🤣🍍🍍🍍 yr awesome Ben Gravy.
I don't know if I could have handled meeting Jerry Lopez. I've surfed with Derek Ho and Tom Carrol (ha ha! I was in the water with them at the same time at least). They both impressed me the most in my 9 years on the North Shore but others were also very impressive (star surfers and others). Never met Jerry but he still is in my mind the king of surfing. Most of us surfers know the names of the major pro surfers but the whole world (surfers and non-surfers) know Jerry.
Dope man, love your positivity. I was in Puerto Rico the same week you were. Got my first wave there. A friend showed me your vlog. I've been bingeing your channel since. Have you surfed in Rhode Island yet? I've got friends that surf here often.
Would love to see Gerry at Slammo!!
What a moment of a lifetime you are truly blessed Ben.
i'll bet it won't be the last time Gerrry will be in Ben's vlog
Jerry..... "Whatevers..... We Go!"
"THE LEGEND Mr. Lopez"
Love his perspective on the nasty attitude amongst surfers. As an aspiring surfer this is the worst part is the unwelcoming feel. Good on him for calling it out.
Great word at end
Conan : Who are you?
Subotai : [jumps to his feet] I am Subotai! Thief and archer! I am Hyrkanian... the great order of Kerlait! I call him Mr. Pipeline.
That's awesome, my first surfboard was a Lopez lightning bolt, I found it at a garage sale in the early 80's. Gerry is a legendary ripper
You got a blessing from the Pope. Congrats!
😈😈😈 its pineapple man , slicing up the wave into chunks 😈😈😈

Way to go Jordan ... Happy 9 years of sobriety ... Keeping the dream alive!👍🌟❤️

GRAVY NAVY..BRO... PEOPLE PAY BIG MONEY FOR ICE BATHS IN L.A.👍👍👍👍😜😜😜👍👍👍
Wow! ... When one of surfings greatest says that you are a treasure... Official claim has been made... The dream is more real than ever! ...
