Press play now to see the HD super slow motion video of big wave surfer Dylan Longbottom in a 12-foot monster barrel - apparently the first shots of their kind ever recorded.
The camera used to shoot this footage is a TyphoonHD4 which has been specially modified by the BBC Natural History Unit, and is even superior to the one used on series such as Blue Planet and Planet Earth.
Worth $100,000, the camera operates in super slow motion and high definition at 20 times the speed of a normal HD camera.
"South Pacific" is being broadcast on BBC2 from Sunday 10 May at 8.30pm. Home Cinema, Cameras, BBC, HDTV, Sports Fitness, Surfing
