Pete Mel // The Executioner - video
"Nathan Fletcher stands up on his jet ski from the safety of the channel and watches closely as a man on a dark green board strokes into a massive wave outside the bowl at Mavericks. After a perfectly executed ride - as seen at 2:30 - Nate screams, "That's not the commissioner, thats the executioner!""
Pete Mel, the Commisioner, the Executioner.
And for those crew curious about the recent Swellnet article on big wave twin fins, check Pete's board at 0:45 seconds.

I assume it's all Cali, but some of those waves look very Victorian.
Fair ding at 1.52 as well.
All Nor Cal...lets just say between San Fran and Santa Cruz...very cold and one particular spot super sharky with a long walk in and out
hahahahah most of the spots are well known and sharky as hell....outsiders not welcome at a few of those spots.
waves in the santa cruz region are very similar to victoria

Wikipedia puts P Mel at 47; 2 years older than KS. They look about 15years apart in their surfing. That said P Mel is shredding.
