   They broke the previous Guinness World records world record of 250 surfers and raised awareness of mental health issues.

   Three organisations - retailer RedBalloon, surfing school Let's Go Surfing and surfing charity OneWave - combined their resources to stage the event.

   In the spirit of the festive season, RedBalloon invited Bondi locals, surfing communities and more to participate in the free event and to become part of the world record books.

    Further spreading the spirt of Christmas, RedBalloon is donating $10 for every participant in the 250 needed to break the record to 'One Wave', a non-profit Bondi surf community raising awareness for mental health.

   Nick Baker, CEO of RedBalloon, said, "One Wave are an inspiring organisation that does fantastic work with the community. We are thrilled to be able to support this like-minded group that understands the importance of positive experience to wellbeing."
