Surfing is different for Ben Gravy, he does not believe in the normal way it goes which is the reason behind his thousands of followers. He is not interested in attaining high scores or scoring the best waves possible. Gravy has an uncanny mission in life, and in his latest mission, he has moved towards Belgium with the plan to surf in a hurricane in the North Sea. Initially, he made his way to the river chasing a few tanker waves. And then went on a quick detour to Wasserski Langenfeld which is the habitat of a landlocked artificial wave.
After all of these visits, Gravy started the main thing he planned for which is surfing Hurricane Don in the North Sea. Starting from the east coast Hurricane Don worked his way past Belgium and Netherlands towards the North Sea. He stated, “As it passes the Belgium and the Netherlands, we are gonna be surfing Hurricane Don in the North east.”
He is seen surfing at 20 to 37-mile-an-hour winds from the southwest. After surfing, he expressed, “All right we did it, just got out here in Belgium at surfers paradise.” Gravy was elated with this new experience. He scored a good one in Gravy’s terms. This unusual surfing at the hurricane was an amazing achievement for him.

The waves at the hurricane were not that high, it would be considered mediocre. Nothing else can be expected from a heavily-shadowed country that has a coastline of only 65 kilometers. But in the world of Ben Gravy, wave quality is not the point. Experience is the main win for him. He was extremely excited about this achievement.
After completing the session, Ben Gravy stated, “What a pleasant surprise”, he further added, “There were a couple waves out there. But the tide came up – and there’s like a 12-foot tide swing here- and it kinda went flat.” Gravy captioned his YouTube video of the entire adventure, “When I tried surfing storm waves in Belgium was no different! Pleasantly surprised by what we found this European Surf trip has been an absolute blast.” He is now headed toward the Netherlands, although there is not much Ben-like there, but he will surely find something exciting to do.
