Blake Johnston has surfed more than 610 waves in a bid to raise money and awareness for mental health
Surfer Blake Johnston walks back to shore after breaking the record for the world’s longest surf session on Cronulla Beach in Sydney Braving swarms of jellyfish and the risk of dehydration, hypothermia, sunburn and – potentially – sharks, an Australian former professional surfer has broken the record for the world’s longest session after catching waves for more than 30 hours.
By Friday morning he had smashed the world record, after beating South African Josh Elsin’s previous record of 30 hours 11 minutes. By lunchtime he was still going in the 27 degree heat, having caught 610 waves. “I’ve surfed my whole life but never in this realm. Yeah, it’s been a mental and physical challenge, to say the least,” he told Broadcaster Channel Nine.
