Ben wanted to stay but I told them to travel on! I wasn't sure how long i'd be there for so it only made sense for them to continue the trip! thank you for the prayers and good vibes! The nub nation is legendary for all the positivity!
Yo JP Bro!! I’m so sorry. I’ve lived and surfed (bodyboard) in Oregon all my life. I also have Crohns and have walk through those same ER doors up at OHSU multiple times. I believe I had a healing event and am now basically asymptomatic. I’ll be praying God radically and totally heals your guts too JP! ❤️
As someone who also struggles w/ IBD (UC), I know how debilitating this disease can be both mentally and physically. Also going through a flare myself. Hang in there bruddah. Hoping for better days ahead!
My sister has crohn’s and has been “bagging it” after fighting it for a long time until it got to be too much. She had the intestine removed and an external pouch installed. She’s a 40 year survivor. All the best and prayers for JP.
I’ve always loved your ability to share life, Ben. Glad your enjoying the beauty of the PNW. Admittedly, I was a bit sad you left JP. It’s easy to feel like a burden in life. I’d imagine having a chronic disease like JP enhances that feeling. What a beautiful gift to stop what we deem important and stoop to lift each other. And especially in moments of weakness. After all, this is what makes being human so special. Love you, Ben. For the dream
@@buzzbabyjesus I've been lucky enough to dodge surgeries, many people have it way worse than I do, my thoughts go out to everyone how suffers from these kinds of autoimmune issues. ]
Big dog you need to do another dedicated trip to Northern Oregon and spend a few days! It was good talking to you! I hope you can come shred over here again! For the DREAM! Love for JP bro
That sucks buddy (JP). I was diagnosed at 9. 5 surgeries later I'm good to go! Surfing always helps appreciate feeling good. Hopefully you heal up soon.
Hey JP, keep up your sense of humor in your condition.. What do you mean you didn't expect to get tubed like that, good on your brother get well see you back in the water soon. Ryan Mack, great drone work and BG thanks again for another surf / road great trip experience , for the dream y'all!
Hang on JP. You have to deal with what many have no clue about. Take care of you first and enjoy the times you can get out and marvel at the wonders life has for you! GBU!!! TxTiger68
Keeping prayers and best wishes for JP, he's such a good brother and friend to you Ben, therefore our best for him , and all of you for that matter, stay safe
Wishing JP the very, very best!! Some of this vlog gives me flashbacks of my adventures in Oregon. Great vlog. Hopefully you will be back in this region and further north (Tolfino is a classic north of the border) many more times! Lots of novelties up this way!
I finally found out what NUB Nation means after seeing For The Dream. It seems like everything starts with that sentiment, it is so inspiring. Great road trip through really beautiful coast line. Best wishes to JP.
Ben, Long time sub here and I live in Tillamook. You always pass right by the best waves here. Hopefully we will link up so I can show you what north oregon surf can do.
Hey boiler bay just below depo bay southern Oregon it's a little special wave that so hollow and always off shore it's a perfect WAVE for Ben mad respect 🙏
All the best JP from down under . You have a legendary positive vibe going on the trip won’t be the same without you but sending stoke there will be more . Stay strong 💪
I don't know who's doing the editing right now but I'm really liking the increased scenery and wildlife shots during the surf seshes in the recent vlogs.
