Most sensible humans avoid extreme weather conditions if possible, but surfers long for the cyclone season which brings wild storms and thrilling waves. This gripping documentary follows world famous American surf tracker Mike Perry, whose lifelong obsession with global wave activity has earned him a reputation for forecasting the greatest waves around the globe for the world's thrill seeking surfers. Where do the waves come from? How do they form? What is a cyclone? Why do they start? What does it feel like to ride a wave? These are questions answered in situ as Perry explains his passion, as 'The Storm' (the cyclone season) brings extreme weather conditions literally to his doorstep. A fantastic and refreshing mix of surf and science based on Australia's beautiful but treacherous Gold Coast.
