    So far the normal Alaskan ocean surf forecast has been pretty quiet, until today. After a pretty bumpy journey we found ourselves in a Fjord & starting hearing the seas climbing quick. 9 foot seas, 11 foot seas & eventually we heard the claim 15 foot seas over the weather radio. I was absolutely stoking, but really didn't know what to expect. After some searching we pulled up to some pretty awesome head high right hand peelers. We got into some trouble, but everyone ended up alright & we ended up scoring the best ocean waves of the trip so far! FOR THE DREAM! - Ben

    Laying in my warm comfortable bed in the comfort of my home here in south Orange County watching this vlog was amazing to say least. Stoke, beauty, stress, sickness, more stoke. The ultimate journey. This is called living. This video just inspired so many people Ben. I can’t thank you enough. Your the true meaning of the human spirit. Walking on a dream !

    Hey Ben, here's a little trick that might help you next time you get sea sick. While on the boat or whatever look at the horizon; it's the only thing that will not be moving while you and your nearby surroundings are , and will remain in it's real position. Everything else is not moving in relation to you but is in reality, so the brain gets confused. It's how I like to explain it and definitely works. Next option is to go for a swim, which you did :). Awesome trip man, think about watching these memories in the future!

    Funny… so true about the cold water to get out of sea sickness. Also works with severe I.B.S.. would jump into my pool at 40’s water to get out of the pain and cramps, works most often then not. Seeing Ben do that brought back memories. Just don’t over eat and love cold salt water. 🥳😂🎉

  • @MrRobertFarr
    @MrRobertFarr Год назад +1

    The cure for sea sickness is to keep your belly full. Food, in a full stomach, does not move around. Dry bread, is a good stomach filler and carrying a little extra weight from those extra calories might keep out the cold, in the short term ! But, of course put, pressure on the joints in anyone that moves around a lot .

    Say hello to my fellow Southern Californian, Blair Conklin 🏄 Raw Beefs TV is a fantastic channel. Probably the best coverage of the Wedge. You remember the Wedge don't you? You gotta come back in the fall.

Way to keep the dream and believe vibe alive - sweet testimony to manifesting and as laird says life as your own art form. I chipped in for that beauty and effort of going boldly and with courage and humor. Nicely played sir!
