Watch: You’ve seen Pete “The Condor” Mel’s wave of the decade, you’ve read the interview, now experience the most handsome man in surfing in all his salt and pepper glory!

Madonna would blush.

Who could have ever guessed that our stillborn season of professional surfing would have gifted us one resurgent Peter Mel as booby prize?

You?

Me?

Wiggolly’s Paddling Style?

No.

None of us but here we are and here we are.

Peter “The Condor” Mel, sometime World Surf League commentator, full-time surf shop owner, quinquagenarian, is our best face and what a best face it is.

Gold chain, salt n pepper top to chin bottom, OMG.

His Mavericks wave, from a few weeks ago, is still reverberating across our shared psyche.

Ooooee.

But, quickly, do you recall onetime professional surfer Wiggolly Dantas and his paddling style?

Worth a revisit.

Also worth hearing Peter Mel discuss his Wave of the Decade with the one, and only, Kaipo Guerrero looking better than prime.

Madonna would blush.

Tried to find a photo of John Scott’s car with the protest sign on the roof but doesn’t exist online.

Peter hasn’t sold out.

He’s just making a living as a surfer.

And he’s earning it but putting his okole on the line.

Explain?

To those who don’t speak hipsterlennial or understand 21st Century philosophies?

Peter sold out?

Who sold out?

He went left at the Hook?

The lefts are good sometimes at the Hook.

And Shark’s Cove.

The fuuuuuu? Nothing about Justine Dupont’s barrel at Jaws?

A chick. A French chick doing this?

Remember Garret McNamara from 2003?

Gmac isn’t sure whether to kiss her or slap her.

And there’s this deal from Jaws.

The sailboarder gets doughnuts but check out the guy going over the falls in the lip.

And now check out this other angle.

Holy shit.

How do people survive that Niagara Falls crap?

What a winter.

That was a cheap shot.

You are a cheap human being.

But then here you are Beach grit.com which is home and hearth for cheap shot artistes.

If you ever do anything as Grand as getting barreled on a huge windy day at Jaws you let the world know will you?

All of these new Euro “big wave” riders have come from such a wrong angle ever since they started. , all just about fame and money, the one shot and milk it for what’s it’s worth, was never any love or history involved, Justine sour grapes included , the fact “head like a toe” fits her is just a bonus..
As for cheap shots on BG , ha ha, you’ve been here for a while yourself mate , keep your virtue signalling where it belongs, maybe surfline are looking for another feelgood commentator ?

Anyone who uses the expression “virtue signaling” is a millennial and should be herded onto crowded, fetid cattle trains.

I doubt the Euros are just in it for fame and money.

Maybe Justine Dupont just likes to get barreled but likes to be treated with
honnêteté, intégrité et fraternité

If you had to choose between Peter Mel’s Mavericks barrel and Justine’s Jaws barrel for Ride of the Year, which would it be?

(And right now I am emailing everyone from Wavestorm to Google to try and keep the SURFER Magazine Surf Video Awards going, but online. There’s so much cool stuff floating around these days, the Surf Video Awards would be the place to collect, clean, collate, categorize, organize, editorialize, nominate and award it.)

FUN FAKT: Peter ‘The Condor’ Mel acquired his nickname when he was 15 because he once swindled an old lady out her only physical barrier which closed the aperture in the front of her house. Hence: ‘Con Door’!

He wanted the wooden slab to use as firewood for fueling his collection of miniature steam engines and replica 1:100 scale scout camping dioramas.
He spent so long whittling down the door into tiny logs that he forgot to cut his toenails for an entire year!
The long toenails enabled him to gain superior grip onto his surfingboards which allowed him to become world Mavericks champion a year sooner!!

Hence the famous surfing expression: “don’t cut your toenails if you want to get superior grip on your surfing board!”

I thought the “Condor” was the male equivalent of the coveted sexual act, the “Terradactyl” because there is one less available hole in the male version (unless you include the dick hole) so the position could not be given full Terradactyl status.

I have extracted the Urban Dictionary definition for your convenience:

Terradactyl: gangbang sexual position in which the female can take in up to five schlongs with her two hands, mouth, anus, and vagina by bouncing from a squatting position and waving her arms back and forth.

Kimmie: wow, I sure took in a lot of cocks last night!

Joshua: oh I heard you did the Terradactyl! Shame I wasn’t there to partake!

Now save me some time here…. are the references to yours truly to do with a mention in this sorry excuse for a podcast or completely irrelevant?
