Ross Clarke-Jones (6 June 1966) is an Australian big wave surfer.[1] He originally came from Terrigal in the Central Coast, of New South Wales, Australia where he enjoyed surfing Terrigal Haven,[2] a point break that produces rare waves lasting for up to 300 metres on a big swell.
Known also as "Dark Bones" and "RCJ", Clarke-Jones is known for his love of huge waves, and along with tow partner Tony Ray have taken on some of the biggest waves ever attempted.[2] On 28 January 1998, the two were part of a small group of surfers who rode giant Outside Log Cabins on the north shore of Oahu in Hawaii.[2] Wave faces were anything between 50 and 80 feet. Other surfers included Noah Johnson, Aaron Lambert, Cheyne Horan, Dan Moore, and others. Clarke-Jones and Ray had a memorable moment when both ski and surfer were caught and pummeled by a 60' wave, knocking them both into the water.[2]
Clarke-Jones is perennial invitee to the Quiksilver Eddie Aikau Big Wave contest held at Waimea Bay[3] and in minimum 20'-25' surf. In 2000/2001, he won the Eddie.[4] He continues to pursue big wave thrills in Hawaii, Australia, California, Tasmania, South Africa, and Europe.
He is known for surfing Shipsterns Bluff,[5] Cow Bombie,[6] and Pedra Branca.[7]
