Incredible detail of the inside of a tropical barrel from BBC South Pacific.
Watch more footage from the series.
It's a shame they didn't invest a little bit more £ in the commentary - "a monster 12ft barrel wave".
I've no idea what a 'barrel wave' is?
At the end of the day you have a wave and you have a barrel and if you're really lucky you end up surfing both i.e. catching a wave and pulling into a barrel.
In natural history terms it would be akin to calling something a 'lamb sheep' or a 'hog pig' but it looks stunning all the same!
For those of us who surf - this definitely isn't the first time this kind of footage has been seen or captured but perhaps it is a first for it to be filmed in HD.
I guess this could be the future of the humble surf movie as we know it?
Well done BBC for making the effort though and hopefully they'll invite me along to do the commentary next time - preferably on location rather than a dingy edit suite in Bristol ;)
South Pacific starts at 8.30pm on BBC2, Sunday, 10 May and continues for the following 6 weeks.
