Peter Mel Barreled today at Mavericks. There's more footage from the day but this was a special moment ⚡️⚡️🏄♂️💦 #surfing #mavericks #powerlinesproductions
@Mack Hannon Is this some kind of renegade marketing for red bull? Stop talking about red bull and bunny hops, that was THE fucking biggest tube Pete nabbed.
@Mack Hannon a pretty good argument could be made that Kai wouldn’t be able to push the limits like he has without the backing of those companies. Just on natural talent alone, he could work a day job on Maui and be a world class charger at Jaws. But he’s trying to, and has, taken wave riding to different realms. Don’t buy the boardies or energy drinks if you’re not into it, but hating on the guy like that? A bit much if ya ask me, but I’m not at the spots he surfs and can’t really speak on the vibes, so who knows? Great ride by Pete, who I’m sure is good friends with Kai
To PETER MEL... I know u might never see this text...i am a disabled surfer that has not caught a wave in 20 yrs or so....BUT after watching that wave and hearing the cheers for u peter i was so full of stoke for u...peter it rekindled a flame for a short time and i remembered the buzz... So thank u...and keep charging...jim.
JJ, I've had emphysema 25yr but last 5 bn greeting so bad, old dirt bike crash 90km from station left hip buggered last 40+yr given hell last 3 near bed bound, 24/7 when I surfed Adelaide S,coasts, Moana Midds, Waitpinga occasionally the mouth, Hung 4 badly, rode like a Grom , but had great times, $5 std petrol, no unleaded, just less lead, Med Coke, 5c dripping ice water after sliding it thru old steel rails to coin rollers, just heaven to get the salt out, These channels give me great solace & joy, memories of better days, I get so much from these videos despite never riding anything over 6-7ft, only few times so I can imagine you get similar entertaining satisfaction soaking in the life of the surfing circus we are lucky enough have online, I'm wrapped to hear your happiness & hope you enjoy much more, Best Wishes 4 NY JJ, 😌 Hangin 10✌️ Always treasure memories 🤙 JD,
@@petermel3259 There must be thousands of we bed bound old groms who love Ur effort, & all those who somehow organise their busy lives & budgets to go tame some beautiful waves, 😊 Thank you , for all the JimJs out here, ❤️🎶🤙 Stay safe NRN
OMG, this is everything, however, best off all might just be the moment when he sits on his board and just takes in the moment of what just happened. Live in the moment. Amazing
I know. It's all mental. Either the wave's make-able or not. It didn't take much physical effort for him to take the right line. Was all his courage and experience.
@@ianwalton284 disagreed! Tow in is surfing as well, you get a totally different line, you can explore the wave much better . The thing is that with such small heavy board you can never paddle in, so you need the ski of course. It’s a different way of surfing, and Kai Lenny and Chumbo can tow in and surf a giant wave doing maneuvers like on a small wave, which you don’t get by paddling with such big boards, but it’s definitely surfing.
If anyone deserves it, Peter Mel, “The Condor” does. I can’t think of anybody better and more deserving for that beautiful wave then Peter. In credible wave of the year wave of the winter Northern California or Hawaii where ever the wave of the winter he won.
Possibly the coolest 3 mins of surfing ever caught on video. From the most epic, perfect and beautiful wave ever seen in Mavs to his 'moment' quietly absorbing the ride to the crowd going crazy and Jamie knocking him off the board out of genuine stoke for his friend. Just incredible.
Hands down Best Big Wave ridden in Cali History , Size to take off and perfect bottom turn to Barrel , 10 + and doesn't get better than that . Congrats Pete (InSane)
I would retire after a ride like that. When's a surf company gonna make a logo with Mel holding his hands up? An Air Jordan for surfing, but Condor. 0:27 or 0:36
Still watching this pretty much every day since it was uploaded. It doesn't ever seem to get old. So many factors had to come together perfectly to make this wave so damn special: swell, wind, tide, the uniqueness of Mavericks. Best of all is that Pete Mel, with his deep knowledge of this spot from decades spent surfing it, is probably one of the only people that could have actually pulled this beauty of a wave off. Think of how many like this one have rolled through unridden because no one was in quite the right position. Think of how many waves like it have been attempted only to end in an elevator drop to the bottom because the would-be-rider was just a little too late, or just a little too deep, or because the board didn't work well enough. People have DIED there, or come close, just to get a shot at a wave as perfect as this one. Pete got just about everything right, and now us mortals get to vicariously experience a tiny piece of the enjoyment he must have felt as a result of the countless hours he's put in at Mavericks. Just that part of it alone is a beautiful thing. This is the kind of shit life is all about. This is why I love surfing. TLDR: DUUUDE HE GOT SOOOO PITTED BRAH YEWWWW
Spit out at Mavs ? The way that section formed in front of him, he had no choice but to pull in.....best paddle in at Mavericks ever? Me thinks it is. PETE !!! Sir PETE ! Incredible !
How good is surfing , when one wave can get so many people on a high, that is a memory he will never forget, we have all had that “ one” wave and that’s all it takes, pure elation!!!
Having a legend like that, possibly taking one of the most incredible, documented waves at his local break? This is just unreal to see. 2021 actually did begin on a solid note.
Surfed a lot in the 80's and 90's, still love watching the standout waves online, I would say yes that is the best wave ever ridden in California. Its not an easy takeoff, late second peak and he is in the ONLY spot to backdoor it and get pitted like that. Experience and skill combining, perfect spot on the biggest wave and stands tall in the barrel with perfect positioning, knows he is making it, best ride in the history of California surfing? Yes? Incredible, sort of not sure I want to commit, but yes that is far enough above anything I can remember since around 1986 when I started paying attention.
I love it at the end of the video, as HE is sitting there, arms folded just reliving the moment in his memory, so quicky is the moment, so swift is time, he crossed over into the Realm of Immortality and in just the space of 20 seconds from start to finish. Those 20 seconds will be his in our collective memory forever. Literally in our collective memory. All of us, all 965K views and counting. I remember it like it was just two weeks ago (today is January 24, 2024)
He did _so_ many incredible things right. We need a breakdown from the Condor. Also, Pete is so damn tall, yet the wave still looks absolutely huge. Any average sized person on that wave would have made it look twice as big.
After listing to podcast from him about past swells all the time sweat and energy he has put into this place. To see him just sit there and take it all in after that was seriously mesmerizing and straight bliss. Brought me to tears being so happy for someone seeing them achieve one of their life long goals. True pioneer to surfing Pet Mel! You will forever go down in history.
I love the commeraderie these guys have, the joy they feel and express for one another's success on a wave is the most uplifting thing. There's even a guy waiting for him at the end of his line for a hi-five. If everything in life was acted upon like this, the world would be a better place.
That was the greatest wave I've ever seen anyone paddle into at Mavs. Congrats Peter Mel! Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person out there. This makes me so happy.
that was the best surfing I have ever seen at Mavericks.... position on the wave dropping in behind the bowl and makes the step the performance of the wave the performance of Peter it was all.....amazing!!!!
That is the best wave I have ever seen. The way the section infront stands up and throws out into a giant barrel is something you rarely see at Mavs. Has to be rude of the year and it’s only the first week of January!!!
That was absolutely the epitome of big wave surfing ,in short the best ride I have ever seen , and the most incredible paddle in wave of the 'Mel'linium hands down , definitely can crown you king of Maverick's , Peter Mel !
That right there, is how it's done!! I love what he does after that wave, pure class, humble, appreciative, stoked. That was the wave of ten lifetimes.
That turn mid face was mind blowing, the major rib he had to navigate in the middle of it was beyond critical. And then the second he got past it, in the belly of the beast, instead of hitting the gas he purposefully stalled. That totally was mind blowing. I'm not much of a Pete Mel WSL surf commentator fan, but hats off for that phenomenal ride.
I've watched this 10s of times. Never gets old. I surf a lot but this... It's a different world. Respect and joy all wrapped up into one. Unbelievable we get to relive this amazing wave over and over.
That guy just attained superstar status, punctuated by his demeanour through the whole experience, he should be called "Mr Casual" from this point forward.
I'be been watching Mav's for over 20 years and even went to Pillar Point fullfilling a life long dream and to going to Half Moon Bay to see in in the flesh. That was EPIC!!! Nice to see one of the original crew like Petel Mel getting what he deserves at Mavs! Proper Stoked!!
One of the most insane things I've seen in surfing. The risk:reward ratio for a cave like that at Mavericks is so low and he's absolutely nailed that thing!! Mental
Absolutely Incredible!!
Naste Nate
😳
I love ur vids Nathan
agreed
High praise coming from a barrel-master such as yourself, NF! I love it.
Best wave ever ridden at Mavericks for sure
Without question. Curt called it. Could the WoW be from a 51 year old from Santa Cruz??!
You can’t be serious hahaha This is trolling, right? I’m new to the youtubes
@Mack Hannon Is this some kind of renegade marketing for red bull? Stop talking about red bull and bunny hops, that was THE fucking biggest tube Pete nabbed.

Undisputed best wave ever ridden at Maverick's. And of course it had to be ridden by none other than the veteran charger
I was just about to say this, best EVER.
It's beautiful
Was thinking same thing. No doubt.
fax
I love how he just sat there and quietly appreciated it and took it all in for a few moments.
That Mavs wave was a lifetime in coming.
So Amazing!! Well deserved !!
Absolutely. And everyone just let him have a moment too. Awesome.
Hard to imagine how that wave would feel but I know I needed to take a moment after watching it, so amazing
its all they live for even his grandchildren would be proud.. its a zen moment when that thing dont swallow you up
OMG, this is everything, however, best off all might just be the moment when he sits on his board and just takes in the moment of what just happened. Live in the moment. Amazing
He's riding out the adrenaline rush.
^^^the band?
that's the soul catching up to where the body has been already. I almost cried just watching on YT so I can imagine what PMel felt at the time
Ride the moment...
@@jonc8445 ...that you've worked over 30 years to catch!
Love how he just sits on his board trying to comprehend what he just done, wave of a lifetime
too stunned for emotion of any sort .. must have been in utter shock
Speechless.!!!! Watched this over and over … frame by frame. WOW…… This wave is historically documented now. MIC DROP.
He made that beast look so calm, peaceful, and effortless. Peter F-in Mel.
I know. It's all mental. Either the wave's make-able or not. It didn't take much physical effort for him to take the right line. Was all his courage and experience.
Wave of the Winter winner....100%. The location, the surfer who surfed it, the crowd reaction, and the moment of reflection immediately after it.
...One of surfing's most profound "drop the mike" moments!
Every once in a while, along comes a video you know will be engrained in surfing history
so right, and he did start middle to right, just perfect big wave footage
I've never seen a cleaner barrel at Mavericks, and the way he was able to just stand in there and see how high it was over him. Amazing.
me neither that thing hates middle brake challengers
So much hype in surfing.... but this is the real deal. Well done!
Jet ski towing is not surfing. It is like surfing, but it is not surfing. Snowmobiling is like skiing, but it is not skiing.
@@ianwalton284 Towing is still pretty cool.
@@ianwalton284 disagreed! Tow in is surfing as well, you get a totally different line, you can explore the wave much better .

@@ianwalton284 he paddled that wave what are you talking about? That was not a tow in?
What are you talking about? Do you even surf? Tow in no tow in surfing is surfing. There’s no tow in here anyways
Pete's reaction was priceless! "What do I do now?" It doesn't get any better than that! Paddle back out, for what?
Yeah, just like in "Seinfeld" - should've just gone in and said "I'm Out!" and never paddled out again...
So awesome!
Can’t improve on perfection!!
U know why, 🤔🤙 may be better 1 coming in 5 or 10 mins, Hope Springs eternal 🖖
Twiggy's reaction with his hands on his head like OMG did that just happen is priceless too.
Cleanest barrel we will ever see at Mavs.
West Coast WOTW Winner🏆
Incredible, one of the best big waves ridden in history.
If anyone deserves it, Peter Mel, “The Condor” does. I can’t think of anybody better and more deserving for that beautiful wave then Peter. In credible wave of the year wave of the winter Northern California or Hawaii where ever the wave of the winter he won.
Well said, brother. Well said.
Well said? Best Mavs wave ever, by the best Mavs surfer. OG.
"Wherever the wave of the winter, he won."
Agreed!!
That’s the best wave ever surfed at Mavericks! Peter Mel has had 2 of the best waves ever surfed this season!
8 days into 2021 we already can announce the wave of the year award. I’d like to thank everyone else that tries
Excellent zen after the wave, super humble, the ultimate no claim claim
Pure class.
@@charliedillon1400 indeed
Unbeatable. Sketchy few moments taking off, tons of flap, and than that moment when he draws an edge and sets up the tube - come what may! Bravo Pete!
Peter Mel has interviewed many legendary surfers... now they all need to interview him.
Possibly the coolest 3 mins of surfing ever caught on video. From the most epic, perfect and beautiful wave ever seen in Mavs to his 'moment' quietly absorbing the ride to the crowd going crazy and Jamie knocking him off the board out of genuine stoke for his friend. Just incredible.
Hands down Best Big Wave ridden in Cali History , Size to take off and perfect bottom turn to Barrel , 10 + and doesn't get better than that . Congrats Pete (InSane)
He was 50 yards deeper than anyone. I’ve watched this 20 times already
Just watched for the 100th time. Never gets old. 10’s across the globe
Even the angry cows watching in a boat just off screen went absolutely berserk for this.
I literally Can’t. Stop. Watching. This.
I'm here 4 months later and I still have to rewatch this wave every fucking week I still can't believe it
Beautifully executed, a lifetime of surfing paid off in a single wave.
This comment should be the title of the video
@@tubethis777indeed
That take off was as deep as humanly possible. A foot left and he’s over Niagara falls. So amazing. Been doing it for years. OG big wave rider.
I would retire after a ride like that. When's a surf company gonna make a logo with Mel holding his hands up? An Air Jordan for surfing, but Condor. 0:27 or 0:36

Oangawd
Yep, 2.5 years later and this is just as awesome as it was the first time I saw it.
Mavs rewarded Pete for sure, local knowledge and respect earned him this wave.
Pete just set the benchmark at the spot he pioneered - epic demonstration of calm under pressure!
Love when The World provides these gifts and🌊🏄💗 are received/ appreciated!
Spit out at Mavs ?
The way that section formed in front of him, he had no choice but to pull in.....best paddle in at Mavericks ever?
Me thinks it is.
PETE !!! Sir PETE ! Incredible !
I would have thought that was Jaws, except for the wetsuits.
Well earned Peter Mel. The perfection of creation, skill, and guts in this ride is beyond incredible.
How good is surfing , when one wave can get so many people on a high, that is a memory he will never forget, we have all had that “ one” wave and that’s all it takes, pure elation!!!
Paddling into that beast ,making the bottomless drop then into the heart of the monster. Fucking Legend status. Done fucking deal
Having a legend like that, possibly taking one of the most incredible, documented waves at his local break? This is just unreal to see. 2021 actually did begin on a solid note.
One of the best waves ever ridden. Inspiring to someone in their forties - it’s never over.
That has to be the best wave ever surfed in California

Grew up watching him kill it when I was a little grom. That guy's a legend in his own time.
Master Peter Mel deserved that wave as a prize given by Mavericks to its pioneer.
I love the commeraderie these guys have, the joy they feel and express for one another's success on a wave is the most uplifting thing. There's even a guy waiting for him at the end of his line for a hi-five.
If everything in life was acted upon like this, the world would be a better place.
Absolutely correct 👍
It must be the most satisfying feeling ever to know decades of work and experience all come together for one perfect wave.
That claim mid barrel 😁
Love how everyone there is absolutely buzzing as much as him too 😛😛😛😛😛😛
That was the greatest wave I've ever seen anyone paddle into at Mavs.
Congrats Peter Mel! Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person out there.
This makes me so happy.
Surf perfection in the most glorious way expressed by Mavs & Mel. What a golden marriage.
Talking the talk, walking the walk, and surfing the surf!!! Total control on a MONSTER!!!
Best wave I have ever seen at Mavericks. Most do that drop and get the wall of death. That thing farted like chopes. Wave of the decade!
Thank you Powerlines for recording this historic surfing moment so perfectly !!!
that was the best surfing I have ever seen at Mavericks....
position on the wave
dropping in behind the bowl and makes the step
the performance of the wave
the performance of Peter
it was all.....amazing!!!!
40 years surfing amateur & pro. This IS the best tube EVER at Mavericks. So happy it was Peter, he deserved it. 🤙🔱
Might honestly be the greatest ride ever. Period. Any place or time. Find me another 😊
I get massive goosebumps every time I watch this.
I've been trolling Maverick's for years....This was the greatest!!!
That is the best wave I have ever seen. The way the section infront stands up and throws out into a giant barrel is something you rarely see at Mavs. Has to be rude of the year and it’s only the first week of January!!!
A million calculations and thousands of waves went into that positioning . 👍🏻👍🏻
That was absolutely the epitome of big wave surfing ,in short the best ride I have ever seen , and the most incredible paddle in wave of the 'Mel'linium hands down , definitely can crown you king of Maverick's , Peter Mel !
That was special! Cannot Image the story that got him to that moment. Incredible to have it filmed perfectly. Legendary!!
Amazing. His many years at Mavericks really shows in this ride.
That right there, is how it's done!! I love what he does after that wave, pure class, humble, appreciative, stoked. That was the wave of ten lifetimes.
A historic moment. When the Capitol riot is long forgotten, the Maverick's barrel legend will live on.
As noted the quality of the wave was awesome, but so was the cinematography. Awesome job!
That's gotta be the best Mavericks wave of all time. Unreal!
Beautiful. I must have watched this 20 times this morning.
Just like Laird at Teahupo'o, we now have Peter at Mavericks taking surfing to the next level.
Well said
Yes. This wave brought to my memory the Hamilton wave at Teahupoo in 2000.
I nearly welled up watching this. Stoked for getting the wave of a lifetime
Same here.
Nearly? He's all wet so you can't tell. When he sat down emotion was pouring from his eyes!
That was inspired. All those beating finally paid off.
The wave that went around the world. Poetry in motion from the amazing Peter Mel.
One of the greatest things I've ever seen from there. Moment of perfection.
Absolutely epic. So casual and so awesome. Love the high five at the end and the raise the roof hands above the head while getting barreled.
Perhaps the best wave ever paddled into.
Big wave award 2021 right there. I wonder how it feels to have your dad charging harder than you at 51 years old, must be pretty cool.
Wave of a lifetime loved the way he sat there thinking wtf just happened
Beautiful
The Surfing world vibe for 2021 is officially set !
UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE -- the light, size, execution of going for it. HOLY SHIT!
Imagine if this video had live commentary from Pete mel he would be loosing his shit
Yeah he should do this
he was dumbfounded after that ride .. couldn't speak or show any emotion ..utterly stunned
been waiting his whole life for that wave
you can tell he was ready everything about this was perfect in time .respect brother
Wow! What a great emotional moment in the history of Mavericks surfing! Yeah that was amazing!
This one goes straight to the books. Insane.
That turn mid face was mind blowing, the major rib he had to navigate in the middle of it was beyond critical. And then the second he got past it, in the belly of the beast, instead of hitting the gas he purposefully stalled. That totally was mind blowing. I'm not much of a Pete Mel WSL surf commentator fan, but hats off for that phenomenal ride.
Now that needs to be entered into the O’Neill wave of the year contest.
That was one of the most amazing things i have ever seen. Also the sound on the slo mo ha ha sounded like a herd of buffaloes
I've watched this 10s of times. Never gets old. I surf a lot but this... It's a different world. Respect and joy all wrapped up into one. Unbelievable we get to relive this amazing wave over and over.
This is the best big wave ever ridden in surfing history. Absolutely unbelievable
Thanks for capturing this, what an amazing moment!
The curtain dropped and he pulls in perfectly right under it! That was sick.
I can't stop watching this video. That was perfection. I get goose bumps just watching it. Ride of a lifetime..
That guy just attained superstar status, punctuated by his demeanour through the whole experience, he should be called "Mr Casual" from this point forward.
I'be been watching Mav's for over 20 years and even went to Pillar Point fullfilling a life long dream and to going to Half Moon Bay to see in in the flesh. That was EPIC!!!
Nice to see one of the original crew like Petel Mel getting what he deserves at Mavs!
Proper Stoked!!
51 years old - such a charger. So many sections this could have gone so badly and he just steered through it like a champ...
well put!
Thank you for giving us the raw audio!!! The ocean & wave sounds are beautiful.
One of the most insane things I've seen in surfing. The risk:reward ratio for a cave like that at Mavericks is so low and he's absolutely nailed that thing!! Mental
I can never get sick of this. Epic
