ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (CBS) -- A surfer from New Jersey is celebrating the last full day of summer Wednesday with the adventure of a lifetime. He's trying to surf the Atlantic Coast, Pacific Coast and in Hawaii all in one day. 

While most of us were still sleeping, Ben Gravy was already on the beach in Atlantic City. He hopped on his board at 2 a.m. to ride the waves near his hometown of Ventnor. 

Gravy says he rode near the ferris wheel on Steer Pier so he'd have a little extra light. 

He didn't even stick around to see the sunrise. 

He immediately drove to Philadelphia International Airport where he hopped on a flight to California at 6 a.m. 

Within the last hour, he knocked the second item off his checklist, surfing the Pacific Coast in Los Angeles. 

Now, he's on his way to Hawaii to end the epic day.
