More than 200 surfers formed a circle off Bondi Beach where some held hands and were silent for a minute to honour those who died in the Bondi Junction stabbing attack.
This is who we are, said boardriders from Bronte to Bondi who took to the waves at dawn on Tuesday for a “paddle-out” to remember the six victims of the Bondi stabbing massacre that took two of their own: Bronte surf club member Jade Young and local woman Ash Good.
“She loved Bondi, she was always down here,” said Buckley. “This is a beautiful way for the community to remember her. She was just everything: a runner, a swimmer, she was involved in everything. She was just one of those incredible people who loves the sunrise, loved everything.” A tradition that originated in Hawaii, a paddle-out is a way for surfers to gather on the water, pay tribute to lives lost, and form a circle to reflect on lives taken too soon, organisers said.
A mother of two, Young was an interior architect working for the Georgina Wilson Associates practice and a member of the Bronte Surf Life Saving Club.architects and builders.
