Surfing the Most HISTORIC Big Wave in Panama

Panama is known for a lot of things. Including: having great waves, however, one thing it's not really known for is big wave surfing. You've probably heard of Silverbacks whenever someone brings up surfing down here & even though it's been tackled by numerous big names throughout surfing history, it's still a slightly underrated big wave surf spot. This place blew my mind as I surfed & saw the true potential for what's really possible out here. It's an honor for me to surf and experience a wave like this in my lifetime. Thank you Panama & thank you Nub Nation! FOR THE DREAM!!! - Ben

Nathan Florence is always like "it isn't as big as I hoped it would be" and I'm thinking I usually go check surf hoping it will be smaller than forecast on the big days. That's usually challenge enough for me. Not sure what percent of surfers falls into category one or two, but kudos to Ben for showing us an example of contextual personal courage. There's nothing wrong with it. Love Nathan Florence. Love Ben Gravy.

ps---if you rewind the tape, in slo-mo, that wave IS pretty freakin' big

You're anything but an "average guy", it's nice that you're humble that way though! Your stoke levels make the difference, you deserve all good things from all the energy you put in! Stay Stoked!!

@stevencole7331 Год назад

Still building confidence after the injury . Your definitely capable of tucking into that barrel . I think what you did was a great step forward just dropping in on a few . Got to get Mackie in the water and film .

@slashtrio Год назад

Stokin!!!! Well done BG. Your talk at the end solidifies why you’re my favorite RU-vid surfer.

@doublemiddlefinger1104 Год назад

🎼Panama!!🎶. Come on! This was the perfect chance to play Van Halen "Panama"

@rastaconnectcasey635 Год назад

We watch Ben more because of Who Ben is, surfing second. Ben happens to occasionally put himself into heavy waves and that’s entertaining as hell

@bobtakespics8011 Год назад

Great blog. Cheers Ben.

@celenastruthers5231 Год назад

Ben we watch all your vids but this was EPIC!! u looked like a pro out there ! Um hello best video yet , good job . 😂

@SecretSpots Год назад

Sick vid Ben! I love Panama, been there a few times, but in my honest opinion all Silverbacks is is a drop in and kick out. A balls-out drop, and HEAVY, but that's all it really is. Once that peak folds over there's almost zero shoulder to ride, it's kind of "fool's gold". I won't lie though, that peak at Silver's is quite scenic. However, there are many waves that are much better quality breaking waves in Panama.

I do really appreciate the session discussion and recap at the end.

@meghancass3187 Год назад

Awesome Ben!!!

@magiccheeseball Год назад

That was heavy amazing seeing you ride that a wave and it was great hearing your thoughts about it!

@mikem4333 Год назад

Congrats Ben! Amazing return to Ballsville. The mental processing explained is true surfing. Bethany Hamilton is my hero.

@BostonJoseLuis Год назад

Hey Ben. Big fan! So inspirational to my my own surfing. Thank you! I am also from Panama. The great think is that you can surf both the Atlantic and the Pacific within a few hours! If you want to surf the pacific side I recommend Santa Catalina. Another left that is also firing right now. Thanks again!

@brucejenrich6911 Год назад

You are right in having respect for that wave. I've seen more then one vid. on this break. The Smith brothers from Hawaii comes to mind. They felt blessed to get the few good tube rides they got. Not easy at all.

@stephen8393 Год назад

A heavy break for a heavy dude, good on ya Ben lot's of folks back off of that take-off and don't go, you went for it that's what matters, not the shot or the barrel. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take and you took a shot.

@Killemgrillem00 Год назад

Great stuff, thanks for showing some heavy Panamanmamna

@joc5152 Год назад

@4gcole Год назад

Nice one! Looks like you are fully recovered!

@diegomartinrossi5873 Год назад

You must go to santa catalina in the pacific coast, is the most perfect wave in Panamá

@JH12121 Год назад

You are the best ever brother 🫂 ending recap was awesome

@Ocean_magic_om Год назад

Nice bro! For the barrells Ive noticed its a matter of doing things the other way around. For a righty you must drop behind the lip , so the lip covers you as your are going down the face and get barrelled. Thats for short waves, on long waves its easier to do a bottom turn and then stall to get barrelled. Cheers my bro!! come to the galapagos islands, lots of novelty waves around here. and some mellow spots you would love.

@lukecameron8144 Год назад

That spot is gnarly!!!! Those drops were sooo sick big dawg yewww!!!

@danseng3747 Год назад

Way to push it, brother! once you get that first one....WOW!!

@eduranlugo Год назад

Wowww. Such amazing and epic wave..

@mulletoutdooradventures6286 Год назад

Dude there are tons of crazy shoal breaks off NJ. I will totally cart you to the breaks off Little Egg and Barnegat anytime. Dude it gets looney out there. There is deeper water closer up there that holds it better then down AC and oc

@ryanpote4459 Год назад

If Makki was just a lil bit taller … woulda had the sickest shot of the most average guy 🫵🏼 Respect brother

@chewy7192 Год назад

Yeah Gravy Ben!

@cliffbarber6058 Год назад

The Caribbean side of Panama. Impressive wave. Nice wave riding on a wave of consequence.

@jaccitera9604 Год назад

I'm no further than the opening teaser going "OH S...T!" Then a huge WOW when I found the spot!

@thedigitalnomad7270 Год назад

It's more about the wave than the shot forever and always 🤘 those who were out there are the only ones who truly know

@LooktheOceanSD Год назад

@andrewwillis4911 Год назад

Definitely some of the most incisive wave commentary from not only you Ben, but from anyone who surfs and vlogs their stories of the Art.

@benjamind2497 Год назад

Keepin it real 🤙

@jameskemp4508 Год назад

Thanks for the debrief, Ben. It's reassuring to hear your thoughts and feelings and analysis. You rock dude!!!

@riverakers Год назад

After you took the first wave,it was Gravy Ben!

@blockstrongorelse Год назад

Balls of steel. Those waves are no joke. If your pushing your limit, you're doing more than most. Any waves over head scare me to death.

@JohnnygSawyer Год назад

I can't wait for tomorrow's episode because I thought this episode was heavy. 🏄🌺💙☠️

@shannonyoung3465 Год назад

Charging that slab, like a Bad Ass!!! YEW!!!! 🙌🤘

@anthonyligato9117 Год назад

Heavyyyy….. if you get a chance you guys hit should try and hit Árbol Loco while your down there …. Best spot in all of Bocas imo …. That’s the dream down there

@tallyjoe_ Год назад

Really cool vid

@nathanaelkitchen813 Год назад

Shot or not, you totally killed it!

@pollywannacracker85 Год назад

Panama offers alot of beautiful area beaches and warm surfs... Which beach was this one? And of course, they are never this big! I boogie boarded as a kid thru high school. For some reason I never could get up on a board. But just being out there in the clean clear water was ecstatic! Dry season now offers some beautiful wave seas also. Seeing you there was awesome and concurring your fears and getting that experience! Bless you amigo! Be safe Ben!
