Many people think of Iceland as a dream vacation spot. Incredible landscapes, volcanoes, lagoons, and so much more make it seem ideal. But you don’t usually think of Iceland as a surfing destination. In fact you can probably safely assume that the waters off Iceland are much too cold for a dreamy surf vacation, but Ben Gravy might disagree with you.
Ben found some gnarly waves off the coast of Iceland, and while surfing in that water is pretty impressive, it’s not unheard of for this guy. He found some sweet waves off the coast of Alaska a few years back, so Iceland doesn’t seem like that big of a step in either direction.
“It’s been a ride driving through, what feels like, the entire country of Iceland this week. We’ve pretty much seen it all. Harsh cold conditions, 60 mph wind, small waves, perfect waves, a frickin volcano! What more could you ask for on any trip, but to experience life & score some super fun waves while doing it.”
