You ever seen a sexier boat wake?

Movie-star handsome former alcoholic discovers world’s best man-made wave

"I still have to figure out the best way to ride it, get the barrel and make it happen on a higher level, but what an honor!"

The New Jersey vlogger, reformed booze artist and high-end intermediate surfer Ben Gravy has again created history by riding what, I think, is easily the biggest and just as easily the roundest, wave accidentally created by a ferry.

Historic Massive Ferry Wave Discovery somewhere in North America

“I’m still completely in awe of what we witnessed on this novelty trip,” Gravy writes. “This is by far the biggest and most perfect ferry wave I have ever seen in my life! I still have to figure out the best way to ride it, get the barrel and make it happen on a higher level, but what an honor it is to make a dream trip like this happen!”

Ben Gravy’s YouTube channel has almost quarter-of-a-million subscribers and so many little films you could watch them back to back on a rocket ship and not even be halfway through ’em as you touch down on Mars.

Gravy is a man who ain’t afraid to move to the beat of his own drum as he chases six-inch novelty waves that break for five hundred yards or waiting days, months, for the right conditions, tide and ferry schedules, to snatch these sorta fleeting moments.
