Ben Gravy I Shattered My Collarbone into 4 Pieces

Today I broke my collarbone. It's been almost 8 years since I destroyed my knee. Since that day my life has changed drastically. I went from spending a lot of my time at bars, parties & asleep at my spiritual wheel to being completely awake & in tune with the world around me. I never saw this coming. I went for a casual surf this morning & never, ever thought that I would end up with a shattered collarbone. I'm surprised, I'm baffled, I'm disappointed & I'm confused. The one aspect of joy I allowed myself so far in this process is the broken collarbone counter, I did get a kick out of that. I'm not sure what to do or say from here, but please just wish me luck. Thank you - Ben Gravy

Cliff Skudin is as core as it comes. He doesn't have any sponsors, he doesn't have a filmer & he doesn't even tell people that he surfs. However, this guy has surfed some of the biggest & gnarliest waves in the entire world. Stoked to speak to Cliff in such a candid way, huge thank you to Jay Belsky at Floored Media for the studio time & Skudin Surf in general for the stoke that they bring to the world! FOR THE DREAM!!!

First Day of Solid Surf on the Outer Banks!

Video from Ben Gravy

We've been on the Outer Banks for about 4 days now & this is our first day of tubes since the trip started! I am stoked! This place picks up so much swell & the sand bars are pretty sick so even if the wind isn't perfect we can still find some barreling waves. However, the win goes offshore after dark & I find the dream! Thanks for the stoke!! - Ben
