That dude ruined my fantasy. 😂
fun !!! get bumped and dumped all day Get jumped up and hump all night
So now my days are spent riding around on a scooter with my 5 year old daughter. No more surf for me.
3:27 Outrigger, suspended in animation all four tracking, Sweet !
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.
Mel, your Avatar is Robert Dawson taking off??? I remember this photo. Frontslider.
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.
If you can't take off with two strokes, you are going over the falls.
Deets is trying to get ahold of you
Love the knee action!
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.
Deets is trying to get ahold of you FS
How can I get your number Brian?
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 don’t get it Chris?
Who was the rider at 2:22 that guys a,axing clearly has a mat Ute garunted Wh my commentWh my comment
So you start out with Alan, then Ron, then Smoker, then Tom. Where in the fuck is Front Slider? I ripped that place up in my forties. Signed: Frontslider aka Brian Mitchell.
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.
My mans rode the wave upsidedown and backwards...legend
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.
FS we all knew that & respected you no worries😂👍🏽😎
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
Man vs Océan!!!!
The lady did not make it. I was there RIP
Damn. I remember this. I didn't know the outcome though.
are they ok!?!?!
If that was Australia, you’ll be getting firetrucks in every corner at the front of your house yes, I’m Australian
Was not expecting that lol
Well that is something to talk about at the dinner table
I don't think I see enough water I live in Mohave county Arizona I live across from where Timothy McVeigh
Water is gay I was told
Who is they?
One of these guys might have been me.
Great job
you seem like a kind person
Pure fun

Yup
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.
Well Jimmy has some serious balls !
Summer Class of 1980 🤨

Some of the best bodysurfing I've ever seen. Amazing 😍
Thanks
@@WEDGEMELZ no problem
Like a dog kicking off it’s fleas.
Bruh like I would say hi to the fish😊
Hey, Mel
I remember The Wedge would always be blackballed for surfer's back in the 80's. The bodysurfing was off the scale! Thanks for the great classic video my friend, good stuff. 👍 👍
1:54 That sweet oval window!!
dude wtf is this 72p
What a footage!!! Came in 2021, I wish I met bodysurfing in 2008... Sick video!!
Try 1976 when the Wedge had such good shape. Now it's a clamshell closeout. So sad to see.
I'd rip it up.
I'd rip it up.
Free ride!!! Amazing
