"I’ve been visualising a line like that for thirty years but I’ve never really truly had the balls to do it."
By now, you would’ve seen Mel’s chip-shot into a thirty-footer monster tube at Mavericks, just north of Half Moon Bay there in Northern California.
Wave of the decade it’s being called.
“Everyone on earth should see this ride,” Kelly Slater said.
![Peter mel barreled at mavericks -january 8 2021 [raw clip]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4SzNlJCHBU0/0.jpg "Interview: Wsl Commentator And Santa Cruz Legend Peter Mel On Catching Wave Of The Decade At Mavericks, “It'S The Greatest Feeling In The World To Have Your Mind Erased!&Quot; 1")
Mel, who is fifty-one, is the sort of man who loves his children with a passion, his parents with respect, his wife with generosity and his friends with loyalty.
He wears slightly too big flannel shirts and pants with stone washing applied at the factory.
A conservative, in the true sense of the word.
Yesterday’s ride was anything but safe.
When I call Mel at home in Santa Cruz, the sun has set on the day after his beautiful and brave ride.
He talks about the terrific comedown from such a powerful injection of adrenaline.
“I wish I could sleep for a month,” he says.
Is it really that draining?
“Emotionally, yeah. That was thirty years in the making. I’ve been visualising a line like that but I’ve never really truly had the balls to do it. Somehow, yesterday, it all came together.”
Mel, who was riding a 70-litre nine-foot-ten CI with tiny tow fins in a quad setup, says the thrill of seeing his kid Jon out there on the channel, alongside old pals filmer Curt Myers from Powerline productions and fellow big-waver Jamie Mitchell, gave the ten-second ride an added gloss.
“They were all fearing for my life one second and then, the next, it was the elation of me hugging my kid.”
So let’s ride this damn thing.
It’s around midday. Mel and his kid Jon, who is twenty-one, have been out since around eight-thirts.
Jon gets the biggest left he’s ever had out there.
Then a quick work meet and the pair are back out there. The buoy system is so good in this part of the world they know the swell is about to pulse.
“A twelve-footer, then there’s a fifteen-footer, there’s a fucking eighteen-footer…”
And,
Mel says there’s a shallow part of the reef out and over towards the left. If you want to get inside the biggest waves it’s the only avenue in. You can’t take off in the bowl, it’s too vertical and too thick, and shoulder-hopping ain’t an option.
“It was always something you dream of but never get to execute,” says Mel. “We’ve towed a few and had that idea of coming in from behind but you usually outrun the tube or you’re not brave enough to kick-stall. With a nine-ten, you’re committed.”
The takeoff, says Mel, ain’t the hard part.
“You get a really nice entry over there. You can chase it, get into it and it backs off a little bit. It let me in. I did know that it’s risky, it’s forty yards deeper than the main bowl and if you see an elbow towards the bowl you know it’s going to be tough to make. This wave had that look to it but, well… fuck… you’re not going to get that many chances out there. I overcommitted to it and went for it. Magically, all those elements came together. A little bit of a spiritual thing happened for me. I feel like it was a gift from the Mavericks gods to stay open. It’s really hard to fathom what’s happening in that moment,. You’re racing and adjusting. It’s the greatest feeling in the world to have your mind erased. It’s why we’re so tied to surfing. I got to a point where I was thinking, this is really heavy, then all of a sudden I realised I was making it no matter what and raised my hands. That’s a great, great feeling.”
And then the other side of the adrenaline shot.
“I was thinking, ah, okay, what now? What do I do now? I felt a little let down. I felt, truly, I can’t do that again.”
That afternoon, Mel went to see his wife Tara in the fam’s surfshop, Freeline, at Pleasure Point. Mel could see how worried his wife was by how clean the joint was, his and her desks cleaned, boxes neatly stowed, the shop spotless.
“A distraction,” he says. “She tapped into my mood and was solemn and quiet with me. Today was a lot more chatty and fun but it wasn’t like we were throwing a party and a kegger yesterday, dude. Just a silent cuddle, unsaid words, connection. I wanted to crawl into a hole and shut everything out. I’ve come around now.”
Mel laughs, sighs, then laughs again.
The buoys are up to forty feet. The biggest it’s been all season.
Tomoz, out there.
“What an escape surfing is,” he says. “We’re so blessed.”
Even Melibu loves Condor for what he done did at Melvericks. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Gavin Newsom has proposed changing the name of the spot to Melvericks.
An interesting bird is a pelican.
This one must have read about Kelly Slater’s duck-dive in the barrel take off and decided to have a go itself.
As Mae West said to W.C. Fields: “Oooo, down in a shower of feathers.”

Got myself a right 2.5 footer in Kitty Hawk in OBX (North Carolina) this past summer. It was so smooth; a little crumbler and even though it was a tiny wave sans barrel, I’ll take what I can get! Just happy to be on the water! 🏄
This was so epically awesome! I’m stoked to see Mel rock it on the Maverix! So stoked!
Its a inspiring. I rate it up there with Lairds wave at chopes a decade two decades ago.
Makes the wsl small wave tour worthless

the cows liked it! that is some 4 stomach churning shit! 1:50 on
You could say same about bitcoin
That’s the one to get, oh boy.
If Coronavirus didn’t burst Tesla, what will? The company just sailed through a worldwide economic calamity without a scratch: Kept producing despite an Alameda County shutdown, cranked out almost half a million cars from one plant – in four models – and their stock went from $370 on March 18 to what is it now? $867 x 5 = $4,335.
IF that’s not a show of strength, what is?
The stock market as a whole might bubble and pop, but Tesla is a whole ‘nother deal.
People just dont’ seem to understand how important and evolutionary Tesla is.
Within 30 years or less, stinkpots will be history, and that evolution is being driven and fast forwarded by Tesla.
No one else had the balls and brains to attempt what they have done.
fuck!
slow-mo audio sounds like an abattoir killing floor on a busy day…
Orange County sucks.
But I agree with Governor Pat Brown who said: “Better to stick all those people down there than screw up somewhere nice.”
This is all you need to see.
Looks like a Richter scale – up and down but always on it’s way UP.
https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
I bought at $424 right after the split and then some more at $400 and recently used margin to buy some at $629 which I thought was a mistake but here it is at $867 with a bullet.
I wish I had followed my own advice and bought a shitload last March at $370 pre-split, but oh well.
Also bought some LAZR and NIO but none of them are as Kelly Slater as TSLA.
It’s still producing and will continue to produce.
Beats working and it’s all pretty interesting.
I learned two things:
1. Money will earn you more money than any work you can do, unless you’re a pro athlete or a drug dealer something.
2. Time will make you rich. People are not generous. Time is.
Barbara Streisand is a big stock market junkie and now I know why.

A message from the young ‘Featherless & Fearless Condor’:
“Cheers guys!”
Today looks way bigger and glassy. Drove to the headlands and it’s the biggest I’ve seen the outer bars all season. Should peak this afternoon.
Are the XXL Awards still up and running? Is that a $50,000 wave?
Hope so.
$50,000 will pay a month’s property taxes in Santa Cruz.
Put it in terms we can all understand Ben. How much would 50 large get you in Tesla stock?
Well right now TSLA is $867 so you could get around 57 shares for that.
But pre-split those shares are $4335.
Is TSLA really worth that much?
Said this before probably, but if Apple hadn’t split seven times, it would be $28,000 a share.
Is Tesla as important and potentially valuable a company as Apple?
I say more so: Apple merely changed the world.
Tesla is saving the world and within 20 years those shares could be worth more than $28,000 – once they have Germany and China and Austin up and running and are cranking out millions of cars a year and selling every one of them.
So those 57 shares could be worth $1,596,000 before you know it.
If you had a mess of kids – and being a Republican from Orange County, you probably did – start a trust fund and let time do the work: Time will make you rich.
Tesla is a tech company as much or more than a car company, which is part of the reason the valuation is so high.
And I gotta say, it’s nice to wake up in the morning and flip on Robinhood and see you’ve made a couple grand before you even woke up.
Now I know how rich people get so rich. Quickly.
The Tesla stock price and market cap is ridiculous if you go by P/E and all the other old metrics, but this is a new world.
People aren’t investing in the dollar value of the company, but in the value it has for the future.
Tesla is literally saving the world’s ass, and that’s worth money.
Also, if you had invested $50,000 in shares on March 18 at $370, those shares would now be worth $585,810.810811.
10X in 10 months.
What do you say to that, Spicoli: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
I can’t in good conscience buy stock in such an environmentally unsound business like Tesla.
Man oh man you are just a classic know-nothing, Orange County, oblivious Trumper f%%tard, aren’t you?
Unfortunately, you are not alone.
Fortunately, God created Orange County as a safe zone for people of your ilk.
Invest in the media company that Fat Bastard is going to start after he leaves office and is released from prison.
At least a media company doesn’t have to rely on rare earth metal mining.
Rare Earth?
Inna Gadda Da Vida?
My mom hated that song. She forbade us from playing it on the jukebox at Me n’ Eds.
Oh wait, that was Iron Butterfly.
Rare Earth was Get Ready and I Just Want to Celebrate.
Good stuff. 70s jams.
Well a lot of the minerals needed for EV cars are in Australia, so that’s good for them and no one will be going to war over them anyway.
Tesla is saving the world from itself.
Within 30 years stinkpots are going to be history, which means no more wasteful burning of fossil fuels and emitting C02 to drown polar bear and Maldiveans.
Musk and Co are doing what must be done and creating jobs and creating wealth and getting rich doing it so good on them.
What will they use in substitute for plastic?
Soylent Green.
And all that rocket fuel?
All that rocket fuel is more than compensated Musk already taking a million fossil-fuel burning stinkpots off the road and replacing them with clean electric cars. And that compensation is going to increase until the whole planet is driving electric cars, not burning fossil fuels and not emitting C02. Capiche?
So tell me Mr Mystery Science Theater if you will, how might you generate that much electricity and where do you hope to store it all?
Well if California wasn’t overpopulated by a factor of 8 we could probably already have a 98% renewable grid, like Norway – mostly hydro.
But Musk is on the case/. This is a huge 182.5MW/730MWh battery storage facility he is building near Moss Landing.
https://reneweconomy.com.au….
I Twitteredf Musk and suggested lining the Salinas Valley with windmills to generate electricity.
Anyone who knows that area knows the onshore winds are regular and steady, and so are the offshore winds. I don’t know how much electricity could be generated but a lot, I suspect.
And those windmills are all over ag land, so they wouldn’t be bugging anyone.
There are alternatives, it’s just population demands that screw it all up.
California has 40 million people and that just don’t work.
That battery storage capacity is not enough to meet demand.
Those windmill blades are not biodegradable. Need routine replacement. There’s not enough landfill to handle that. Not to mention windmills are grossly inefficient. The stability of fluctuating electrical dunps doesn’t work on the grid as presently engineered. There are so many problems that lie beyond Musk’s capability to solve. You have to rebuild the whole grid. Man, tell me you’ve thought about all this.
Windmill blades are better than the mining, drilling, storing, distilling, transporting, distribution and burning of fossil fuels.
Anything is better than the mining, drilling, storing, distilling, transporting, distribution and burning of fossil fuels.
I know people on Maui and in Central California who run their compounds on one windmill with some solar.
Wind power works and if you lined the Salinas Valley with them they would generate enough energy to fill those batteries – without getting in anyone’s way.
Add wind power to solar and hydro and you could have a renewable grid.
Musk is on the case and the best thing about him is he is the first greenie to get filthy stinking rich and that is going to encourage other greenies to innovate.
Brilliant minds are working on this.
Tesla is a major step.
Solar is grossly inefficient too. It ain’t clear n’ sunny everyday, and you have limited hours. Hydro is at capacity presently. Do you see new dams being built? New Edison power plants like HB’s?
You greenies are unwilling to go nuclear and that is the only viable solution.
Solar is grossly inefficient too. It ain’t clear n’ sunny everyday, and you have limited hours.
Solar is good for some places. Hawaii.
Malibu is probably one of the best places in the world for solar because there are like 300 sunny days a year here, and it faces east to west.
I know people who have had solar panels to batteries to Tesla for many many years.
Dennis Haysbert, the deep-voiced black guy who sells All State Insurance. He has had that rig for more than a decade. It works.
And solar will get more efficient. It needs a breakthrough and there is a lot of money being thrown at it.
Musk made electric cars sexy but he still has failed with solar.
Maybe because grid energy is still cheap.
It’s kind of like Surftech. No one wanted those expensive molded boards until the price of hand-shaped boards reached a certain point – then everyone wanted them because they didn’t break.
Same with solar. The economics aren’t there yet, but they’re coming.
Hydro is at capacity presently. Do you see new dams being built? New Edison power plants like HB’s?
Well if there were less people in California and on the planet, hydro would be great. The problem is on the demand end.
You greenies are unwilling to go nuclear and that is the only viable solution.
Yeah nuclear is great until it isn’t.
There was a plan for a nuclear plant called WAMSR – Waste Annihilating Molten Salt Reactor – that claimed it could use existing spent nuclear fuel to provide the world’s energy needs for the next hundred years or whatever.
Because that nuclear fuel goes into the ground with like 80% of its energy unused.
The girl who proposed it was way cute, but it turned out to be bogus.
A shame.
Then 2035 is completely unrealistic and leaders should stop forcing a change away from fossil fuels so quickly. Don’t you agree?
Edit: Being such a Peter Mel fan, and let’s be honest who isn’t, how can you argue in favor of a windmill filled landscape in Salinas valley and not think about the harmful effects on the Condor population?
Aim for the stars, land in a mud puddle.
When Musk and Team stook over a hobby EC company called Tesla in 2003 it had .00001 chance of succeeding – but look at what has happened.
Musk over-promises but he also over-delivers.
The 2035 renewable deal would be doable if people would leave California as fast as they’ve been coming in: 1100 people a day, every day, for 60 years.
And fossil fuels are forcing a change away from fossil fuels – not leaders.
Humans consume 1.5 trillion gallons of fossil fuels every year, and that rate and quantity is increasing.
When that runs out, the world is going to be in deep kimchi if there isn’t an alternative firmly in place.
Musk and other Big Picturists are firmly placing that alternative right now – despite a cacophony of nay saying by short-sighted nattering nabobs of negativism.
California is looking way off into the future – actually only 14 years – and preparing for it.
That battery installation at The Landing is an experiment, and I still say they could fill those batteries with wind from the daily onshore northwest winds, and also the offshores that blow out of the Salinas Valley.
That is a very consistent, reliable wind, and if you lined the Salinas Valley with windmills, you wouldn’t really be bugging anyone but the cabbages.
That’s called not being short-sighted and being aware of the BIG PICTURE:
P.S. You happy with your boy Trump now? He incited a riot that tried to destroy the Capitol and got five people killed.
Oh it was Antifa. Right.
Why is Trump not in prison?
It’s not as impressive as Dem Rep. Pressley calling for continued unrest in the streets, Dem Sen. Maxine Waters calling for BLM to attack Trump supporters, Kamala Harris and 13 Biden staffers contributing money to to rioters’ bail fund which has resulted in murders committed by bailed rioters, all resulting in 30 deaths and billions in damage to private property, private businesses and federal property.
And PS, Trump didn’t incite violence
It’s not as impressive as Dem Rep. Pressley calling for continued unrest in the streets, Dem Sen. Maxine Waters calling for BLM to attack Trump supporters,
Waters called for people to “push back,” which meant confrontation, not physical violence, and she didn’t encourage them to loot the capitol: https://www.vox.com/2018/6/…
Kamala Harris and 13 Biden staffers contributing money to to rioters’ bail fund which has resulted in murders committed by bailed rioters,
Wrong: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/09/03/kamala-harris-tweeted-support-bail-fund-money-didnt-just-assist-protestors/
all resulting in 30 deaths and billions in damage to private property, private businesses and federal property.
And PS, Trump didn’t incite violence
Yes, he did. He encouraged his supporters to march on the Capitol, with no illusions it would be peaceful.
Did you see Guilfoyle dancing as she watched the riot on TV?
He’s gonna get impeached and he’s going to prison.
Hopefully this will be the downfall of the Republican party, as Hitler brought down the Nazi party.
No it won’t. When he doesn’t get impeached and doesn’t go to prison, do you promise to cry, and cry real good?
Vox lies. No journalism going on there
Same with Bezos’ Washington Post.
He’s probably getting impeached like next week, if they don’t run of out time.
And The Mooch told me Trump will be the first president to go to prison – either for what he did in office, or from tax evasion or money laundering.
And he’s gonna get his dick sued off by by everyone from Hunter Biden to the family of the Capitol Police office killed during the raid.
He’s f@$%ed, and that’s good.
If they introduce articles of impeachment they’ll incite violence on Jan. 20th. After that will Pelosi impeach herself?
There’s gonna be violence on January 20 regardless but hopefully it will be met with force – although I suspect a lot of the Capitol cops and National Guard are from Virginia and Maryland and are simpatico with the rioting deplorable proles.
Trump put the “riot” in “patriot.”
IF there is a Civil War the result will be the same – the hillbilly dumbasess who are wrong as they can be will lose – again.
No reason for Pelosi to impeach herself.
Apparently she is on 60 Minutes tonight and she is mad as a hornet.
Atta girl. Give ’em hell.
Can’t wait to hear her incoherent vodka pickled liver babbling. Such a twat. She got strongarmed by of all people AOC to regain her Speakership. Had to bend to the will of a petulant child.
Devochka, Pelosi is 10,000 times smarter, 100,000 times ballsier, 1,000,000 richer and 10,000,000 more relevant than you could ever hope to be.
She is standing up for what is right, whether you get that or not.
Nor Cal Uber Alles, baby.
She’s good at spending tax payer money on useless Democrat pet projects. The power is an illusion. The intelligence is not there. She isn’t 1,000,000 richer than me. Her quest for relevancy is just insecurity, ever chasing affirmation from others.
How is it that some “simple” Trump supporter actually found her office? That’s no easy feat.
She’s good at spending tax payer money on useless Democrat pet projects.

Bravo!
That’s some inspiring shit right there!
