I'm from Poland and haven't heard of Polish surfing championships before. I think it Is important to emphasize how cold it Is here when the waves are good enough
Super content !! Pure Stoke !! Poland rocks !! I just came back to Portugal from a snowtrip in Zakopane ! I felt so stoked to watch your movie !! Thank you so much Dylan !! Muito obrigado Polska !! Forever in our hearts !!

This is the best surf content on RUclips. Dylan you are such a treasure to surfing. As a German that surfs the Baltic regularly, I can relate to the polish surf scene a lot. Despite them having much better surf spots. From what I’ve seen, I reckon that the Baltic surf scene is very similar to the Great Lakes surfing scene. The stoke if often much higher than in most high wave quality regions. You really managed to capture that stoke and vibe.
Thank you so much I really appreciate the feedback 🙏 And agreed ! Very similar to the Great Lakes surf scene … where everyone seems to appreciate everything. I think we all have a lot to learn from scenes like this ❤️
Dylan captures the essence of what a surf film should be-raw, spontaneous, and full of the unknown. He brings to life the thrill of discovery and the unforgettable connections made along the journey.
Epic Vid! Krzysztof is such a legend! True ambassador of Polish surfing and the kindest person with an unbelievable work ethic. I visited Hel 5 times the last 6 years and had waves on 4 of those trips so not that inconsistent (or just got lucky). Keep it up!
Wonderful surf trip. I always watch different content but this video pops up and I very enjoyed to watched it. I am Polish live in USA and it’s warm on my heart to see people from all over the world come to Poland and enjoy their passion in my country. 😊
@@DylanGravesYTCome in summer! It's even more beautiful then, you'll see the kind of green you've never seen before. Maybe no waves, but a lot of other good stuff. Cheers bro!
I absolutely love every single one of your videos. Whenever there is a video, I watch it immediately. You’re getting me through the cold winter in Germany far away from waves :)
Dylan and team behind, this is such great (surf-)cinematography, really digging it... just moved from the wave-blessed UK back home to Germany so your films really help me appreciating the overlooked coastlines and surf cultures we and our neighbours have - stoked to spend me more time exploring them through your example. Pls keep em up and massive thanks
Love the feedback and thank you for sharing ❤️ doing most everything myself besides filming (of course) hoping to get my channel to a place where I can afford some help editing and so on. 🍻’s for the support
Thankyou! What an interesting watch. I was in leba 29 years ago enjoying the culture and warmth the locals exude. I did notice some windswells as an Aussie surfer, however the conditions weren't happening. Hel, looks like a local surfers heaven. Thankyou once again, thoroughly enjoyable. Seamus
@DylanGravesYT I was there in 1997. It was a truly memorable little jaunt through northern Europe and the Baltic states. I was fortunate to score some great waves in Fuerteventura, Morroco and Portugal, however I really loved seeing the spirit and warmth of people in these regions. Surfers share a certain soul, wherever they live. Thanks mate
Such a nice glowy episode ❤️ Im a Pole living in Sweden so I usually surf the spots you featured in your Swedish episode from a year back, but a really nice and cheerful presentation of Poland, stoked that you scored and got to enjoy some Pierogis! Baltic surfing is so unique (like chasing the end of a rainbow - and sometimes succeeding), I truly hope you make more episodes from our regions in the future 🤙
Awesome! Thank you! I do as well it is a really special place and I’m getting more and more enjoyment out of trying to get good waves in different places than ever ❤️ thank u for the support and encouragement
Yew! Remind me of days of my younger years on the east coast of USA waiting and hoping for offshore days and good waves. You can feel the stoke from all these guys,👍👍
Thanks, Dylan, for your work and positive energy! You’re crazy for coming all the way from AUS to freezing Poland just for surfing... Tomorrow we’ll have a great day in Władysławowo, but today it’s snowing like crazy! ;)
Great surfer, amazing Storyteller...what can we ask for more! Thanks Dylan, thanks for taking us with you on your journies! Greetings from Munich, Eisbach!
Another awesome trip! Super stoked to see some proper waves in Hel! You go the extra miles to show and share what surfing really is all about. The cold waves is a great way to bond. I haven´t felt it in the tropics! Board looks loose goose man, super shred! Keep enjoing 🤙
Thank you glad to hear the feedback and the support is greatly appreciated 🍻’s Yeah I was riding a Holy Hypto by HaydenShapes thing felt 🔥 didn’t change boards the whole trip
@DylanGravesYT Love the good old odd waves 😆 Hayden is a magician! One of my all time favourite board is the Psyhedelic Germ. That board has been tested all over. New Hypto looks like a really versatile board. You are really pushing it with ease. All the best mate!

Hey Aussie Don’t ever come to Europe especially Poland
The soundtrack selection is just another level :D
🙌 so impressed with the depth of music from Poland 😍
Haha amazing that you have used polish tracks ❤@DylanGravesYT
What a treasure trove of good music 😍 I’m in love ❤️
Respect for choosing the polish music!
❤️
I love Nathan´s channel, but yours is on another level. You are the Anthony Bourdain of surfing. Best surfing channel, hands down
fr, by far my favorite youtuber
Agreed
Dylan Graves and Brad Leone both scratch that Anthony Bourdain itch for me.
Agreed! Buena Dylan!
Check out Ian Battrick, he’s the ultimate core lord
I'm from Poland and haven't heard of Polish surfing championships before. I think it Is important to emphasize how cold it Is here when the waves are good enough
Szkoda , że najlepsze warunki jak zimno jest.
Surfing content is the last thing I expected from Poland :)
🫡❤️
Super content !! Pure Stoke !! Poland rocks !! I just came back to Portugal from a snowtrip in Zakopane ! I felt so stoked to watch your movie !! Thank you so much Dylan !! Muito obrigado Polska !! Forever in our hearts !!
Thank you 🙏 Na Zdrowie ❤️
Zakopane is horrible tbh:D
W Portugalii to są dopiero fale. Nie interesuję się surfingiem ale kiedyś mi kumpel w pracy, który tam jechał na urlop pokazał na youtubie.
Yessir!! Was super cool to meet you and soo stoked you embraced the culture like that!! 🤩
Na Zdrowie

Agreed! I surf Lake Michigan and run a page called Five Lakes Surf Club. The stoke is unlimited!
You've educated me about something I never really knew existed in my mother country. Amazing video!
Na Zdrowie 🍻 thank you! Glad you liked the video 🙏
As a surfer with Lithuanian and Polish descent, I approve of this!!
Go to Hel. I heard it's fire-ing
Pierogui! My wife has a polish grand Mother and we always ate pierogui. 🇧🇷🇧🇷
🤤
Bom apetite 😁

❤️ thank you ! 🙏
Getting in that water during summer is chilly enough, you guys are wild!!
It was dreamy for polish standards too get even colder 🥶
@@DylanGravesYT I've swam in those Hel waters in Hel many times, but even during the summer I need to grit my teeth to get in. I hope you had fun!
My ex told me to go to Hel, and this vlog's sold me. Looks great 👍
😂
Favorite surf channel! That smoked fish shack was epic! 🤙🏼

That’s all time ! Kryszytof is boss lord 1000 and Hel seems like such a gem of a place, I’d love to go back
loved watching that, good job.

dobre wariaty,ja jadę autem i okna nie otworzę jak jest poniżej 10 na plusie,te opieńki z lasu i kormorany w tle
To w polsce da się serfować? WoW! Nie miałem pojęcia! Super!
Lots of good waves ! ❤️🇵🇱
In one spot near Wladyslawowo 🤡
That's so awesome I didn't know about that. Is it all year long or just winter time?
@@tomekkrakowski4950 autumn and winter is better - bigger waves. Summer - sporadic
No jak to nie wiedziales…..przeciez od zawsze na Hel jezdza wszyscy surfers
This video reminded me how great Polish food is
Mind blowing 🤯
100%!!!
Świetny film. Nie zdawałem sobie sprawy, że na Bałtyku można mieć takie warunki do surfowania! ❤😊
Na Zrodwie 🍻happy you liked it ❤️
I love your videos, bro. It makes me wanna explore the world.
🙌love to hear it ! That’s definitely the goal cause the world rules
My elderly mom is Polish...never realized you can surf in Poland from this older so. Cal surfer...good stuff here!
Very special place, they've got a cool scene w some really fun setups. Hard to forecast but worthy if you catch it !
Thank you for this video! I am from Poland and I was always convinced you can't surf in Poland Now I know it's possible I need to try this!
My pleasure ❤️ there are some epic spots there, definitely worth looking into
Pierogi at the end :) great video !
Omg Hel is a magical place, great job capturing it!
It really is! Thanks for stopping by ❤️
The motherland!!! Hel looks amazing 👏
Hel Yeah! 🔥
Happy to see more and more people coming to enjoy Poland and its beautiful nature and culture.
Blown away by the waves/culture/music/locals, can’t wait to come back

So good to see people enjoying my countrym. Living in Tricity area, so Hel is quite often visited. Glad you enjoyed!
Hel peninsula is one of the most special places in Poland ❤
I haven’t experienced much else in Poland but I plan to! I will say from all my travels to different surf destinations it’s up there ❤️
@@DylanGravesYT If you're into castles check out Malbork, the largest in the world by land area and not too far from where you were.
I lived in Poland for a little over a year and 3 years in Germany while serving in the ARMY. The really miss it.
What a surprise I never expect surfing in poland with off shore Wind wasn't bad at all besides the cold great video.
Beautiful,did not know Poland was like this ❤❤❤
Poland’s kinda holding
without a doubt the best surf/travel vlog out there

Worthy add ! Epic place
What beautiful photographs at the end to capture the scene.
Krzysztof is very talented 😍
Another awesome trip! Super stoked to see some proper waves in Hel!
