    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.

    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.

    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?

    • @tuskedbeast
      @tuskedbeast 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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.

    • @DMark25
      @DMark25 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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.

  • @silversurfer100
    @silversurfer100 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well done. From a surfer's perspective, very well done. Peter conveyed the relationships of mental and physical to those that have never surfed.

    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.

  • @carterturk9947
    @carterturk9947 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @JacobSoboroff

    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.

    • @Rasulis
      @Rasulis 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

      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.

      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?!

      @mattbradley9758 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      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.

    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.

      @socalsurf 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.
