“Never Ever Imagined”: American Surfing Prodigy Hops on German Waters to Post a Strange Achievement

From good food to Cathedrals and historic monuments, Germany is known for many things. But with its border only covering a small portion of the North Sea coastline and the Baltic Sea, the country only provides one destination Munich River for surfing and is not any surfer’s first choice to chase swells.  However, the same rules don’t apply to every surfer.

An American surfer who has a reputation for achieving strange surfing accomplishments has added another quaint achievement to his list. The 34-year-old Ben Gravy, popular for being on a mission to surf in every country, has chased a wave in German waters. The surfer posted this strange achievement on his YouTube channel recently.

Ben Gravy adds another achievement to his list

Ben Gravy, just added another country to his surfing list by riding the largest wave in German waters. The Novelty surfer, known to be on a mission to conquer the swells of every country, posted a blog on YouTube of his new achievement with the caption “The Longest Wave in the Country of Germany (Not the Munich River Wave). Further, while talking about the German waters, the surfer said that the German waters, except for the Munich River, are not known for surfing. But, by surfing in an unknown river in the countryside of Germany, Gravy, truly justified the words “if you can see it, you can surf it.”

With only one thing on his mind, “This is an absolute dream come true.” Gravy in his vlog held on to his 10-foot-tall nose rider, desperately waiting for a slow, budding swell in the river. And after halfway through recording his vlog, a ferry created a knee-high swell and possibly the longest wave in Germany behind it.  Gravy, who saw his dream of conquering the waves of every country comes one more step closer to reality, stated, “I don’t think anyone’s ever been more stoked over a knee-high wave in their life,” and rode the wave with a burning zeal in his eyes. Later, the stoked surfer added, “I’ve never ever imagined living out these dreams like this.”

The surfer, who usually chases the waves with soft surfing to avoid injuries, was seen handling the waves with a hard board. As last month, Gravy, in a half-hour-long YouTube video, revealed the news of quitting riding foamies with soft top surfboards and exploring other surfboards.  Furthermore, Gravy also talked about his mission to surf in every country.

In the vlog, the YouTuber also disclosed the reality behind this hectic mission, stating, “If I’m being honest, it’s been tough for me to commit to surfing every country in the world.” To make this mission easier to achieve, Gravy has decided to surf in his bucket-list countries first. After his trip to Germany, the 34-year-old Us surfing prodigy is looking forward to first traveling to other countries in Europe to achieve his dream. The surfer chose to take on the task of conquering waves in every country after surfing all 50 states of the United States in 2019
