If I could like this video twice, I would. Respect to Peter Mel and his way of looking at life.
Press F to pay respects
agree
I live a few minutes away from Jaws on Maui but am to afraid to try it. What this man does is truly amazing - and even more remarkable is him being the ultimate family man on top of it all. I don't think he exaggerated at all - Hawaii big wave surfers are in awe of Mavericks and all of us tip our hats to this awesome soul.
Dave Wave preach on
excellent documentary. hope to see more like this in the future
I used to sand boards in a unlabeled shop in the middle of a strawberry field near Manreesa, I wanna say Taylor was the shaper and the glasser was a cool dude named Greg but the name "rat boy" screams at me of a kid who would come around and say hi when he could find gas money. Think he was from west side but my memory is bad. John Mel carved my first custom board in the late 80's. Although I've had several boards in the previous and following years, I've continued to never let this one leave my stable. Moving around the the country and years later I have retired to the distant hills of TN, I still have my Freeline, so Peter know your dad's work has made it to Tennessee from Pleasure Point and I will continue to treasure it.
This is superb to watch and listen to! Big wave guys are a breed apart!
There's so much more to surfing than the ride. Thanks for sharing Peter, amazing job.
redbull please stop making it such long breaks between Peaking episodes. This stuff is too good.
Santa Cruz! my towns been popular but im glad it's in the spotlight more and more every year
Wow. Peter has the right take on things. An impressive surfer and family man.
BEST RED BULL VIDEO EVER THAT WAS AMAZING , THANK YOU RED BULL
Hard way to make a living. Very interesting piece on the life of a big wave surfer. Looks like it takes years of experience to be at his level of surfing. Wish him better luck next year.
I love the shot at 19:13. No music or slowed down editing. Real time with real sound.
More episodes of peaking please .Ive watched all of them
This is straight up amazing.
Jeff Clark surfed this place alone for years and these guys have inflatable life preservers, the Coast Guard, 100 jet skis, 50 boats and 500 telephoto lenses following their every move. Sure there is some risks involved but Peter Mel is laying on the drama pretty, pretty, pretty damn thick don't ya think?
Yeah, I know what you mean. It's all so much more meaningful if it's personal and private, or within the subculture. All the drama cheapens it, and it's kind of embarrassing.
Jeff Clark also never surfed Mavericks the size these guys are now. Not to take any credibility to Clark for doing so at such a young age, but the level and magnitude people surf big waves now is a constantly raised bar.
Well done. From a surfer's perspective, very well done. Peter conveyed the relationships of mental and physical to those that have never surfed.
Great job and you are a winner !
Mercy, let's hear it for Percy! Great viewing Mr Mel and crew.
Great video. Peter Mel, what an inspiration. Aloha brada
I met peter Mel at my cousins competition his son was out competing at trestles I was too young to know who he is but it’s so cool knowing I met him now
You're an awesome dude, Pete.
pshhhh haters. when you're out there and there's a wall of water rushing at you, you are alone. yeah he's in a contest, it's his way of life, it pays the bills, but I'm sure that's not the only time he's out there.
also, tumbling in the darkness for a whole minute is terrifying.
Peter Mel watching him from 10 13 years old till now man were getting old
Excellent video.
Great story, great video.
amazing video, loved it
Very cool dude live life and keep on doing what u do.
Quality vid Pete's a legend
God like performance....
Living legend!!!
Awesome video well done. Good stuff Pete
What kinda leash you use at Mavs? Length and thickness? Also, are the quads becoming more popular in big waves?
Wow this is amazing by the way
excellent video! respect to pete!
how can i contact the yoga's teacher??i would like to have some lessons...
''lessons''
Its not about Yoga to be good..Its about sinking with nature and blending together..Pete mens like mick F...Way too much self esteem..Be humble and blend with the whole life of what surfings about
Great video..
Lol, when he says "2 in a row" at the 25:50 mark the subtitles say "tuna roe". So funny imagining Pete say that to himself as he wipes out
Great vid
Totally respect Peter Mel. Anyone woman/man that can paddle out and catch a wave here, others might consider how difficult that actually is. It's easy behind the keyboard to say this or that, but ultimately someone's dropping into a very large wave and committing to it is really not debatable. Once you do that, it's all up in the air. No one sitting at home can really fathom what it is like, me included. I've surfed some waves over the years in the Pacific Northwest cold water, but they're small puddles compared to this.
One of the few sports that old dudes here rule. Let me clarify I am a huge fan but not a competitor in this arena. My respect for these athletes is of the utmost.
Does he remind anyone else of Ben Stiller?
No one makes me bleed my own blood
Stiller and Ron Perlman
Calling for a Meet the parents Hawaiian holiday sequel.
BIGTIME....even his mannerisms an all.
cool vid man.. dig it.
This makes me feel proud of my small town if half moon bay and it's waves
"Keep going HUGE Peter*~!" Thanks again for the capital Heaps of inspiration fully. Continued success add safe travels peace man perma-chakkas ALWAYS ,'-7
Your amazing and my hero! Im the same age as you and b bord and have been doing it for years.And you would never get me out there to do what you do.
You surf fucking amazing !
Wow you guys did this on my b day
the guy in the GREEN at 19:36 hahaha superman!!
Gr8 job Pete ........ Take it as a positive
Nice to see someone surfing at home
Peter Mel #legend
Honestly, who gave this a thumbs down?
+yury
Brandon WL
beautiful
your profile pictures is great. bassets are glorious!
Big boards, Big waves, n Big kahunas
something popped up at 25:25, was it a dolphin?
The pinnacle of dangerous motorsport is the Isle of Mann TT.
That's okay Pete get'em next time! You surfed you were safe you came home I'd say that's a good day. By the way your gnarly!
whats the song at the beginning
Max you look just like Jabba The Hutt. And a Blobfish
So cool
Anyone know the name of the opening song and artist???
how long are those leashes? I can´t imagine the pull you got after pinching throw the wave and the board is sucked over the falls.
The best I can do is about 2-4ft so I'd say Peter did, in the words of Larry David, pretty pretty pretty good.
I've maxed out at a ten footer. Caught it last fall off of the Pismo Pier. They were breaking over the pier. Got wrapped up in one that pulled me straight to the bottom and wouldn't let go, scared the jeebus out of me, and that is when I called it a day.
Sean Maddox 10 feet man, thats crazy! ... I was at pismo beach all weekend... and I missed all the good ones! none >5ft.
"pretty pretty pretty good" haha classic Larry David humor!
misheardanimefreak 10ft are not common here, especially ones with a ridable shape. I knew I was in for something gnarly when I scanned the beach and saw no one out in the water either direction.
if you haven't watched this yet...let me save you some time...he talks and talks some more and then he's doing yoga (yer I know) and then he talks some more...and then right at the end he nose dives and then to really nail home the point he 'totally like' kooks out trying to take off left on a something that vaguely resembles a wave.
***** Get real, he's a fucking kook
By the way, 'vaguely looks like a wave'? That's easy to say when you view it from the side you fuckin kook, how about viewing it from the front, or better still, from the top of the lip! Let's see how much shit you've got spill on us then eh?!
Adrian Troalic listen bro... sit your self down and do like me... have a real good smoke and then watch Pete Mel's "surfing" in this video while playing the Hawaii five O theme tune...guarantee you'll roll on the floor laughing
The WSL Big Wave Commissioner is a Kook? Are you actually being serious? Have you ever been out when it's over 12ft? Have you ever even surfed before? Clearly not but you're still an expert right and think you have the right to leave such mindless comments on such a legend of the sports video.
Matt Bradley you and me see eye to eye on this comment
that yoga girl is slammin
In moment is where life is...
worst thing where do u take a nervous dump?
I can't stop thinking that he is Ben Stiller. It's really creepy.
The security guard was cool
Peter was always cool to me when I showed to watch…. Thanks for being down to earth bro… bra… the party crashes…
pretty cool dood
Holy shit.. I have same crazy dreams before a surf day.
interesting.
yeah
my dad surfed mavericks, he said it was INSANLEY cool
what is this music at the very end of the clip?
What's that jacket at around 10:00 with the red on the inside of the hood
Is Peter related to Jon Mel??? the board shaper/Surfer
Closing credit song name?
1st and this is AWESOME
Nice Audi...
Does anyone know the ID of the song starting at 13:12?
*the moment
While not to discredit the skill it takes to surf waves even like this, Ive never seen such a dramatic display of a 15ft wave. That is nothing at mavericks, Or for the world of big wave surfing.
Weekend Warrior you are right, but it is very cold
The waves were topping 45'+ faces that day and at 50F water, on rocks, a thick slab lurching at 60mph. So yes, you have discredited the absolute intensity of this wave. There are only a small number of people on this planet who can surf this wave. I've been there, it is absolutely beyond comprehension unless you are in it. The greatest big wave surfer in the world, Mark Healey, got rattled, and he's a 5 minute breath holder. That's all you need to know. Excellent movie. RIP Mark Foo.
when you know it's big the drive has to be nerve racking
that's Ben Stiller
Takin the bull by the horns, it's a metaphor. But that actually happened
Dissapointed to not see jay out there
ho my good
25:25 Shark or Dolphin right next to him?
25:25, shark sighting ?
I mean song at 25:52
my biggest wipeout wass probably on a 7 footer and my biggest one was 5
22:00 o dayum
This guys are heroes !!! But i am a bit concern they give a wrong message and too many people not trained enough for this conditions will put their lives on the line.... Anyways massive respect !!
14:47 is that a microphone on him or his zip ahha and 15:57 pull what
Song at 21:52???
5:19 don't pass what does he mean
Nobody knows the intro song name? It is un shzamable!
Those waves don't seem exceptional for Mavericks, so I'm surprised ratboy is saying oh my god.
Did not know Ben Stiller could surf.
Peter ate the ZEN Banana
WHAT IS THE SONG AT THE BEGINNING
SHAZAM COULNT FIND IT WHAT THE FUCK IS IT
ur mom it's ur mom
What is the name and artist of the opening song?!?
just shazam it ;)
