Bondi Paddle-Out Honors Stabbing Victims, Symbolizing Community Unity

Surfers from Bronte to Bondi gathered in a large circle off Bondi Beach for a paddle-out to remember the six victims of the Westfield Bondi Junction stabbing massacre, including two surfers. The ritual involved silence, flower-throwing, and splashing water to send energy to those who passed. Bondi resident Sarah Buckley expressed her love for her friend Ash Good, who adored the beach and was a vibrant member of the community. The paddle-out, a tradition originating in Hawaii, represented the community’s resilience and unity in the face of tragedy.
