60 Minutes Australia: The Storm Riders (2008)

There's a wild, mysterious place down south in the Roaring 40s. They call it Pedra Branca and it's known only to a few fishermen, sailors and the sharks. A lone rock jutting out of the ocean, with huge, thundering waves. Waves that no-one has ever surfed before, a real surfers' paradise. It's the kind of challenge no red-blooded surfer could resist. Certainly not legends like Tom Carroll and Ross Clarke-Jones, surfing's odd couple. Tom's the former world champ, cool and calculating. Ross is the hell-raiser, anything for a bit of fun. And Ben Fordham joined their expedition, chasing the monster waves of Pedra Branca. Reporter: Ben Fordham Producer: Nick Greenaway
