About
Johnny Strange was an adventure seeker deep in his heart. He was the youngest to climb all seven peaks at the age of 17. He was inspired by the world around him - nature, culture, sport, and used his opportunities to do good. The Johnny Strange Legacy Program is a beacon program for the Boys and Girls Club of Malibu, focusing on skateboarding and the lifestyle to help teens transcend any real or imagined barriers. The program helps support skateboarding lessons, maintenance and upkeep of the ramp and inspirational speakers who also share Johnny’s passion.
