Blake Johnston is one unstoppable force. In March 2023, Blakey completed an astonishing goal - breaking the world record of surfing for over 40 hours.
Blakey is more than just a legendary surfer - he's a mental health advocate, Director of Cronulla Surfing Academy and a key note speaker.
His mission and his purpose stem from the hardest of heartbreaks - the loss of his father after he'd just turned 30.
