    I’ve never been to the wedge. It seems to be a peculiar wave where you can hit a drop that way and then cling to a long face ride. I’ve not seen it quite that way anywhere else.

    Wade was known for going after the set waves. He was fast. He had huge legs to propel him forward, like Greg Deets.

    I miss The Point, The Wedge, Aliso, Blacks Beach, Boomers, and Mexico. I stopped riding Mexico because of the raw sewage. There are two secret spots in Orange County: Three Arch Bay, and North side of Dana point jetty but only on a big swell.

    So Mel, is your eyesight so bad now that you have to wear glasses out? I remember Chris Robinson had such terrible vision that he could not see the sets coming outside. He sill managed to ride lots of good barrels., Frontslider.

      Here's one for you. I was sitting in the pit when a girlfriend on one of the Crew joined me. She complained that a boulder was too high and blocking her view. I walked over to the boulder and yelled and shook it violently. It broke in half and I sat down as though nothing had happened. You should have seen the look on her face.@@WEDGEMELZ

    Back then California was a laid back atmosphere. Good times up and down the southern coast for me. Always bodysurfed the Wedge on big swells. Unfortunately, in the 80s money became the obsession and by the 90s it was all anyone talked about in the coastal cities. In 2001 I moved to Ventura County and bodysurfed Zuma. I was the only guy out on big swells for years but those times have passed and it is as crowded as Newport Beach. Your's truly, Frontslider.

    Who is the outstanding rider at 2:22. The speed he gets reading the wave just right is impressive. I suspect he’s completely humble his ability. We all know the type. He would never honk his own horn to bring attention to himself. I wonder if he’s still around.

    I hung out at the Wedge when it got big. Mostly I rode The Point, 15th ST, Aliso, Blacks Beach, Boomers, Zuma, and some big places in Mexico. When you ride steep vertical faces your takeoff has to be flawless, strong and brief. Frontslider.

    Hey Tom, how about Frontslider. I was ripping the place up on the biggest swells. I have photo of me from August 1 2000 at 30 feet. I was in my forties. And I went on from there ripping up the biggest waves in Ventura.

      I know Mel, just felt like I had to mention myself. Like Rodney Dangerfield "I get no respect." Just kidding. The lifeguards in Zuma used to all sit in front of me on the beach and watch me, the only guy out. I had a good surf life. Party on Mel the ultimate party guy.@@WEDGEMELZ

    I body surfed a lot in my teens. Angled down a few waves where it was possible. Most of the time it was just straight ahead, but the quality of the waves were nothing like the wedge. Fun times.
