Ben Gravy (left) ready to shred the danger zone!

Beloved novelty wave maestro Ben Gravy signals intent to surf every country in the world!

Danger, ahoy!

Where would we as a culture be without Ben Gravy? The beloved New Jersey vlogger who got hisself sober then became a YouTube sensation has delighted for years. Quite possibly the biggest name in surf, Gravy recently brought his talents to Georgia where he graced the local news with his presence while dropping an absolute bombshell.

Brian Michigan, as fine a name for a local newsman as any, first detailed Gravy’s inspirational story before discussing how the movie star handsome 36-year-old made it his mission to surf each of the 50 United States. “The weirdest thing I can find is the thing that gets me excited to surf,” he gamely declared.

Michigan, asking what’s next, received an answer so ambitious, so shocking, as to upset surfing’s applecart for years to come.

Gravy now plans on surfing every country in the world.

All 195 of them.

It is unclear if he counts Palestine as its own nation so maybe 194 but still.

I would imagine pundits pointing to North Korea as one of the more difficult on the list, but I think that will be a fish in a barrel for Gravy’s brand of ultra-positivity. It might even be thought that the rugged blonde will thaw tense relations between the “hermit kingdom” and the west.

South Sudan will pose some trouble as well as Somalia proper. Afghanistan, certainly. Syria, probably. Iran, while safe, might be a tough visa. I’d encourage him to leave Yemen alone.

Which would you most look forward to conquering? Which would give you cold sweats?

Back when I was a younger man, I used to absolutely love Robert Young Pelton’s guidebook The World’s Most Dangerous Places. Snappy, informative and fun. I think it might be useful for our intrepid Benjamin Gravy as he heads out into the world.

Bon voyage.

Ben is from New Jersey and surfs summers there. He’s well prepared for whatever insanity, blockades to access, and state sponsored body slams may be in waiting out there.

You gotta figure the landlocked cuntry’s are going to pose a problem unless you use the lame ass definition of surfing that includes standing on a board behind a boat.
On another note (freshly on the mind), anyone think Otto has eaten any ducks, puppies, or TSwift’s kitty yet?

It’s a rather moronic project, isn’t it? Ben would be far better served staying home reading books… starting with a good atlas. He obviously inhabits the lower end of the intelligence spectrum.

The White liberal is the worst enemy to America and the worst enemy to the Black man. Let me first explain what I mean by this White liberal. In America there’s no such thing as Democrats and Republicans anymore. That’s antiquated. In America you have liberals and conservatives. This is what the American political structure boils down to among Whites. The only people who are still living in the past and thinks in terms of “I’m a Democrat” or “I’m a Republican” is the American Negro. He’s the one who runs around bragging about party affiliation and he’s the one who sticks to the Democrat or sticks to the Republican, but White people in America are divided into two groups, liberals and Republicans…or rather, liberals and conservatives. And when you find White people vote in the political picture, they’re not divided in terms of Democrats and Republicans, they’re divided consistently as conservatives and as liberal. The Democrats who are conservative vote with Republicans who are conservative. Democrats who are liberals vote with Republicans who are liberals. You find this in Washington, DC. Now the White liberals aren’t White people who are for independence, who are liberal, who are moral, who are ethical in their thinking, they are just a faction of White people who are jockeying for power the same as the White conservatives are a faction of White people who are jockeying for power. Now they are fighting each other for booty, for power, for prestige and the one who is the football in the game is the Negro. Twenty million Black people in this country are a political football, a political pawn an economic football, an economic pawn, a social football, a social pawn…

That’s a lot to unpack ol buddy.

No matter who is in charge, nothing changes with regards to the Military, Energy or Banking. That’s who calls the shots.

The liberal/conservative debate is egged on to create division. The sheep blame each other while the Song Remains the Same above the pay grade of the spokesperson for the banks (president)

Exactly. He said that shit and then the FBI paid the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to silence him. I believe it was some sort of deal allowing NOI to to continue holding up traffic in large black cities while selling The Final Call and bean pies tax free. You missed your calling as an Afro American studies teacher at Cuesta or Saddleback colleges.

Any girl who looks as good in camo(in a duck blind) as they do dressed up can’t be half bad? Or maybe it is the the cowgirl boots, her ability to buck bales, till the soil or mend a barbed wire fence with a come along…but can she surf?

The hair has improved so they must have some big city stylist helping her with her looks

mrs Hippy was invited to help clear a yoga retreats property for their teacher training.

She felt obligated because the owners donated the property for a couple of modules. All her friends went to an expensive breakfast at Jen’s fave place and were dressed fashionably.

They mucked stalls. Hard labor none of them expected. Cleaned the barn front to back.

Came home ragged, showered immediately and went to bed at 5pm. !!

Did some work at a ranch in west marin in the nineties that had cows etc. I remember putting in a stone set of stairs on a hill in the rain with yellow cow piss pouring down the hill right into the mud where I had to stand and work all day. Stunk like hell after work when I walked into the local high priced store full of Marin MILFs

Mill Valley hotties!

We were in Raglan at an Airbnb…. first time I learned about the service so 2010ish? Lovely place, but tucked back around the river just inland away from our normal place.

Came home from surfing and our house was filled with flies. Closed all windows and killed hundreds, mass genocide. Next morning, not a fly to be seen. Turns out, a farm next to the property had loads of cattle. If we had flies, the wind was onshore. No flies, go surfing.

We did not need a flag to gauge wind direction.

Kelly’s cove has a wind gauge also. When it starts to turn onshore you can smell the birdshit that’s all over the rock past the break.

My maternal grandfather was a cattleman, buying and selling cattle in CA and Mexico. He left LA to move to Wyoming in the late 50s when he quit enjoying the place. So I spent some time in that world and it is wild. Never fight a cowboy or a wrestler were my lessons…and bucking square bales is a bitch.
