Discovery HD Showcase chases the biggest waves in high definition in June and has the spectacularly exotic Way of Life in August.


Great shows coming to Discovery HD Showcase (DStv 172) in June is Storm Surfers: New Zealand and in August Way Of Life with Jim Brasher.

Storm Surfers: New Zealand in June on Discovery HD Showcase tracks big wave pioneer Ross Clarke-Jones and the two-time world champion Tom Carroll as the two Australians travel across the world to find the most dangerous and biggest waves they can find. Storm Surfers: New Zealand is the follow-up series to Storm Surfers: Dangerous Banks. Meteorologist and surf forecaster Ben Matson uses the latest storm prediction technology to track swells and time their arrival to a matter of hours in a mad, high-stakes race against time and the elements to conquer and film massive waves.

Way of Life with Jim Brasher in August on Discovery HD Showcase explores some of the most exotic and uncommon occupations across the globe where the jobs are simply a way of life. Jim Brasher ventures from Argentina to the Sahara, northern Luzon and India's bustling Kolkata and even Asia's intense jungles to care for an elephant.
