Former specialist surfer Blake Johnson, 40, effectively completed the challenge he set for himself to raise revenue and awareness for mental wellness.

Hundreds of supporters and locals packed Cronulla Beach in Sydney as Johnson emerged from the surf at 7:11am Friday morning soon after continuing by way of the evening.

Asked how he felt soon after 30 hours and 11 minutes in the water, an exhausted but delighted Johnson replied: ‘Pretty cooked’.

Dehydration, sleep deprivation, hallucinations and sharks are just some of the dangers involved with the record-breaking surf.
