A powerful memoir and toolkit from the world record holder for longest surf that reveals Blake Johnston's honest and inspiring story about carrying a family history of suicide and struggling with mental illness, what he did to rise back up and the lessons he wants to share to help others. Blake 'Blakey' Johnston is a surfer. So was his dad. And his brothers. For Blake, growing up around the beaches of Cronulla, life was good and surfing was everything. At sixteen, he turned pro and took off around the world, chasing his dream to become the world's best. The thing about dreams, though, is that they change - sometimes by choice and sometimes by circumstance. For some people, that change can be too much. Too often, people stay silent about their struggles; too often, they can't see a way back. Nine Australians die by suicide every day. Blake's dad was one of them. Ever since, Blake has made it his mission to help people find the tools they need to stay alive. In his own struggles with mental health, they are the tools he's used to find the joys in nature, family, human connection and himself. These tools even enabled him to unite a community, spend forty gruelling hours in the water, catch 707 waves and claim the world record for longest surf. And then the world's biggest paddle-out.
