Julian2 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Surfs always up at Dangerous Banks in Tasmania. Link DANGEROUS Banks is a large shifting sandbar about 35 kilometres off the tip of north-west Tasmania. Raging currents, winds and giant swells kept humans at bay for nearly 200 years, but on June 27 three surfers conquered Dangerous Banks. Australian veteran surfers Ross Clarke-Jones and Tom Carroll and young Hawaiian Ian Walsh were towed on to 10-metre waves as part of their odyssey to surf giant winter swells around Australia for a pay television special Storm Riders, which is expected to be released next summer. Clarke-Jones, regarded as Australia's most renowned big-wave rider, said: "It was more than wild, it was complete chaos. I've never seen an ocean so angry and confused in all my surfing days. We managed to catch a few each but must admit that the ocean beat us to a pulp that day. We were lucky to have all made it to shore, to tell you the truth."

USVirgin Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I'd like to see some more photos, or the movie when it comes out. Judging by his comments about the ocean being "angry and confused", the size of the waves wasn't the danger. Three oceans and a strait converging there.
