BEST Tanker Waves EVER in Pennsylvania!?

This Philadelphia mega tanker surfing mission has been a journey. From the humble beginnings of simply hoping that there’d be some type of wave or some type of ship in some type of capacity to @Surfin Moose riding a wave for almost a minute!? Who would’ve ever thought that my dreams of tanker surfing in my own backyard could become such a reality! Thank you Nub Nation for all of the stoke & support FOR THE DREAM!!! – Ben

Legends! Moose is a trip, the world needs more Moose!

Alexandre Ouya says:

Congrats Ben !
You scored and most of it you shared the best tanker waves with your friend.
Enjoying the sharing it's all a big part of surfing spirit that most common surfers have forgotten.
Thanks for the stoke ! Can't wait to see what is coming next.
Yew !

Neal Gorenflo says:

I've heard that cruise liners either coming into or out of port in Fort Lauderdale create pretty big waves because the channel is narrow. Might be worth checking out BG.

Well don Ben and young Moose! Moose for the win! For The Dream!!!

zatoichi101 says:

Very cool!!! But "FIRST person to catch a tanker wave in Philly" is a pretty bold claim, considering you don't actually know that. You should say "First VIDEO of person surfing a tanker wave." Just sayin.

The Boomerang Effect says:

Awesome vlog and so adventurous, great to see. Moose as the new addition to the gravy train family

Dan Willemse says:

Fantastic work. Maybe a foil if it was deep enough

MrShermer says:

C&D canal Delaware dreamers. I am cheesing when you claim these are Philly waves.

Drunk Tank Films says:

why wasn't there more footage from the tanker view? that would have the the cherry on top

Stews Aquarium says:

Pretty cool, I really think your gonna start a trend all over the world

Kevin Thompson says:

The C&D Canel is in Delaware! Not Philadelphia!! You rode the wave between the St. George’s bridges

Diggity DanO says:

Good on ya brother!! Premier night!! Let’s go!!! And remember to try to keep your mouth shut when surfing in Philly, ya don’t want to swallow a needle!!!

Albert Conone PUNT says:

Ben, to see the stoke on your face was all time. I’m sitting here on the other side of the screen just as stoked to see you guys have that much fun. If I’m this stoked, I can’t imagine what you felt like in those moments moose was styling on those insane tanker waves ! The Dream is happening. You are a walking success story my friend. You are the dream, you are living the dream ! As always sending the best of vibes from Cali !
Your Friend, Alby 🛳🙌🏻🙏🏼🤙🏼

rumtum99 says:

We’re witnessing history folks. Pioneers in Philly and the passing of the torch to Moose. Those Summer Bulls are legit and I can’t believe they haven’t sponsored you yet?!

Frothers says:

Moose knuckle for the win!!

Lisa Hnat says:

Very cool & so entertaining to watch, but coming from a long time philly local….the Schuylkill & Delaware River are super scary watersheds. Be careful!!

Mike DiMaio says:

There is a seaplane port in Philly, you might be able to hook up with one of the pilots and do a whole river recon.

robert peck says:

Stop it! Its Delaware not Philly. We need all the props we can get. Love what you’re doing, but seriously, I’ve seen bigger and longer in the C&D and solid 4 foot walls pealing off of Pea Patch, they wrap island a complete 180 towards Delaware city. Been watching them break for years, but never had the nerve. Keep up the great work. You’ll stumble on to them at some point. 👍

ieism1 says:

So happy for you, finally it all came together!

Martin Fisher says:

HAHA Moose the Stokingest Grom Ever. Yew!!

mr gus segarra says:

I’ve been noticing that you’re tweaking the intros every now and then. Keep doing that! These intros are awesome Ben

Michael McBride says:

Love the adventure spirit. Find it and ride it!

bill wyatt says:

Goodmorning Ben Gravy

tomk1tl says:

Lady bug 16:05 ….that means 'good luck'🤙 👍

Cathy Ohlhausen says:

Brian Michigan says:

MOOSE WAS STOKED!!!

Andrew Ogley says:

Stoked for you both 🙌 🤙🤙

Oliver Smith says:

Awesome🤙

Castelo Do Mar says:

First surfers to ever surf the Schuylkill River and ended up contaminated with radioactive waste. THE DREAM 💪🔥

Rudy VQdriver says:

Brah. My hospital I work in is probably minutes from there. In the break room I make coffee during nightshift and write on a paper towel “Nuke Juice” or “Psych Juice” and time and date it. For the dream 🤙🏽
