World’s Biggest Paddle Out

Blakey Johnston is attempting to break a new world record in Cronulla in order to help fund mental health workshops in schools across the Sutherland Shire, delivered by OneWave and Find Ya Feet. This will be held on March 15th at Cronulla Beach, starting at 7am and is open to all ages over 10yrs. Participants under 14 must be accompanied by an adult, and all participants must be able to confidently swim 200m. Johnston and his team are aiming for 1000 surfers to be linking arms for 1 full minute and empower unity through the incredible support of the community, especially for younger kids who face mental health issues.

As part of the Cronulla Surf Festival, this event will also include surfboard demos, surf competitions, vintage board exhibitions, live music and family-friendly activities.
