Peter Mel Interview
Peter Mel is synonymous with Mavericks. For years he has been a standout during every game-changing session over the ominous boil, and yet somehow a competitive victory has eluded him there—until today. Mel’s number was up, and despite the inconsistent swell that threatened to disappear completely as the heats rolled toward the Final, Pete found the right waves at the right time to keep advancing. Serendipitously, the Final saw some of the biggest and most consistent waves of the day, giving Mel ample opportunity to take his rightful place among Mavericks champions
