Storm Surfers

Australian big-wave surfing documentary. Surfing legends Ross Clarke-Jones and two-time World Champion Tom Carroll – now both in their 40s – live to ride waves as big as buildings. They enlist the help of surf-forecasting guru and meteorologist Ben Matson to track oceanic storms that create giant swells. 

The first part of their journey takes them to the bottom of Tasmania where Ross wrestles one of the most deadly waves in the world at Shipsterns Bluff. But when Ben sends the team on a disastrous mission to Western Australia, Tom nearly kills Ross and himself in a misjudged moment – and the cracks begin to show in Tom’s confidence.
