Culver City, California – 3net, the joint venture 24/7 3D network from Sony, Discovery and IMAX, will bring viewers an adventure beyond the extreme next month with the world premiere of the new 3net original series Storm Surfers on August 19 in the US.

The series follows surfing legends, best friends and larger-than-life personalities: Ross Clarke-Jones, an Australian Surfing Hall of Fame inductee; and two-time surfing World Champion Tom Carroll, as they work with genius surf-forecaster Ben Matson to hunt down Mother Nature’s biggest waves and surf the planet’s most dangerous breaks.

The four-part mini-series features Jones and Carroll – along with some of the most well known names in big-wave surfing – as they trek around the world, capturing awe-inspiring, heart-pounding footage of their adventures in 3D for the first time ever.

The Storm Surfers crew utilises the latest in storm forecasting technology, innovative surfing gear, specialised hand-held 3D cameras and customised mounts and rigs to give viewers a never-before-seen, first-hand POV perspective of big wave riding in three dimensions.

Storm Surfers is produced for 3net by 6ixty Foot Productions Pty Ltd.
