Ben Gravy is finally surfing again after a months-long hiatus due to a biceps injury. A few weeks ago he announced his triumphant return to the waves, and he’s been making up for lost time ever since. His most recent adventure took him back to his favorite New Jersey break El Slammo, where he came face to face with a huge thresher shark.
Before the action began, Gravy provided an update on his emerging surfboard brand. As he dropped off a shipment of boards at Heritage Surf and Sport, he explained the special meaning the classic New Jersey surf shop held for him. “Heritage was my first sponsor, so the fact that 25 years later it’s come full circle and they’re carrying my board line is amazing,” he explained.
The next stop was Ben’s favorite home break El Slammo. However, when the crew arrived, they were confronted by a surf fisherman who came to blows with what they estimated was a 10-foot thresher shark. Somehow still undeterred, Gravy paddled out for a head-to-head “competition” with a local grunt. After months of being landlocked, nothing could hold him back.
