4,000 Waves Later, Blake Claims World Record
His feet bloody and ulcered, ear infected, frame ten kilos lighter, last night Blakey Johnston rode his final wave for July.
Only lasted ten seconds yet it's the arithmetic that's impressive. It was his 4,097th wave of the month, caught over 253 sessions at Sydney's URBNSURF wavepool.
Not sure of how many barrels, turns, or tubs of Vaso he's churned through but the stats will come out.
"Everyone deserves to feel awesome," said Blake, "and I truly believe we find a better version of ourselves when we dream big, dig deep and bring a crew along for the ride."

That's an incredible achievement - unbelievable.

Well done Blake - you the bomb!
Geez I am exhausted thinking about it.
Jeez Blakey your setting the bar high.....not sure if ive ridden 4000 waves in my entire life.....but where too from here bro.........?????????????????????????
How much would that have cost!! $100 a session would be about $25k wouldn't it?
25k is just a drop in the ocea…..urm….pool
It's all sponsored, wave pool is trying to drum up business in winter
$2385 for Winter Warrior pass. Surf every session of every day for a month.
Surely URBN surf sponnoed him for the sessions.
Imagine Blake and Ned Brockman in the same room…
And cliffy young
Not sure they'd be in the room for long.
Unless it was for a push up competition.
2 absolute mad-dogs.
Awesome work Blake. Champion stuff.
Very well done Blake . You are a man on a mission in life . Good work .
Living legend!
