Nature: Condition Black (DVD, 2004) New/Sealed, Largest Waves Ever Recorded

Description: New DVD In January 1998, a storm off the coast of Japan began moving eastward across the Pacific Ocean toward Hawaii's North Shore, producing monster waves that thrilled surfers but prompted the Coast Guard to declare a CONDITION BLACK, wherein all access to the water is denied. Defying the ban, a group of rebel surfers decided to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ride the 40-foot waves but soon encountered some of the most extreme--and dangerous--weather conditions imaginable. This episode of PBS' award-winning NATURE series documents the surfers' death-defying experiences through personal interviews and action footage (some of which was captured with IMAX cameras), resulting in an incredible exposé of the extent of Mother Nature's power.

Giant-wave surfers from around the world flocked to Hawaii to test the awesome powers of the ocean, and to explore the boundaries of their fear and craving for adventure. This extreme episode of NATURE explores the science of surfing and the technology of storm-watching, and captures this once-in-a-lifetime chance to encounter one of nature's most powerful forces.
