๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธ So stoked to have had some of our groms (ages 7โ€“12) paddle out at one of our local reef breaks for the very first time today! The waves were small, clean, and absolutely perfect for the little ones to build confidence and gain valuable ocean experience. Each one of them took a small step forward, showed plenty of courage, and embraced the challenge with big smiles and positive attitudes. We're incredibly proud of every single one of these young surfers. The future is looking bright! ๐Ÿค™๐ŸŒŠ #GromLife #FutureSurfers #SurfingSouthAfrica #OceanConfidence๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ„โ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ#TSK๐Ÿซถ

#SPEDN zinyoka@blink.sv btcmap.org/merchant/3108 This isn't speculationโ€”this is Bitcoin adoption in action. ๐Ÿช™โšก๏ธ Local students in South Africa are closing the loop by spending their sats directly at Jabulani Shop No. 3 using tap-and-go NFC Bolt cards. A self-sustaining Bitcoin economy built from the ground up, proving that the Lightning Network is the ultimate tool for financial inclusion. Empowering youth, empowering local business.

BIG NEWS!! Inam Falteni, long time participant in our Surf Program, was selected for the South African Junior Squad. The team will compete in the Junior World Surfing Games later this year. He was selected as a non-travelling reserve, meaning he will be part of squad training, but won't attend the tournament unless another team member can't make it. This is a major validation of the hard work we've put into developing the competitve side of our surf program.

Pictured here is Akhona Mabuto (in the orange T-shirt), our dedicated Safety Officer, alongside some of our junior coaches and groms. We are incredibly fortunate to have this amazing crew as part of the TSK family. When the waves aren't ideal for the older and more experienced kids, they never hesitate to jump in and help the younger surfers. Whether it's pushing them onto waves, helping them get out to the backline, or simply encouraging them in the water, they do it all with enthusiasm and big smiles. Their willingness to support, mentor, and look after the next generation of surfers is something truly special. They embody the spirit of teamwork, kindness, and community that makes TSK such a great place to be. Today, we want to take a moment to say thank you to each and every one of you. We see your efforts, we appreciate your dedication, and we are incredibly proud of the positive example you set both in and out of the water. What an amazing group of young people we have at TSK. Keep being legends! ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ’™ #TSK #SurfFamily #FutureChampions #BombSquad #Community image

With our local beach still closed after the damage caused by the recent storm, it's been tough for the kids not being able to surf. Diaz has always been the perfect spot for beginner surfers to learn and build confidence in the water. This past Saturday, we headed over to Santos Beach to get everyone active again and back in the ocean. We spent the day swimming, running, and the little ones even managed to catch a few waves. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธโ˜€๏ธ Days like these remind us how much we appreciate our coastline and the incredible surf community around us. We can't wait for things to get back to normal so we can enjoy our local beach again. Until then, we'll keep making the most of every opportunity to get the kids in the water. ๐Ÿค™ #SurfLife #FamilyTime #SantosBeach #KidsWhoSurf #OceanDays BeachLife #WeekendVibes

๐Ÿšจ The South African government is attempting to OUTLAW FINANCIAL FREEDOM. ๐Ÿšซ Under the guise of "capital flow management," new draft regulations will effectively destroy self-custody and Bitcoin's promise of financial inclusion in our country. ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ These aren't just rules for exchanges. They are a direct attack on EVERY South African. Hereโ€™s what they do: โ€ผ๏ธ BAN SELF-CUSTODY: By targeting transactions that touch global network infrastructure, they make self-custody illegal. โ€ผ๏ธ FORCE LIQUIDATION: They grant the state the power to force the sale of Bitcoin to the National Treasury. This is expropriation. โ€ผ๏ธ OUTLAW CIRCULAR ECONOMIES: Peer-to-peer transactions for goods and services will be deemed "black market" activity if they exceed an unspecified threshold. โ€ผ๏ธ GIVE THE STATE ARBITRARY POWER: The Minister can decide the "threshold" for illegality at any time, creating uncertainty for everyone. โœŠ This is a war on open, permissionless money. It's a war on the unbanked. It's a war on your right to control your own wealth. ๐Ÿ“œ And they're trying to do it WITHOUT A VOTE IN PARLIAMENT. โณ The deadline for public objection is either May 18 or June 10, depending on which government source is consulted. We have no time to waste. ๐Ÿ‘€ SEE DRAFT HERE: https://www.treasury.gov.za/public%20comments/CapFlow/Gazette_Publication%20of%20Capital%20Flow%20Management%20Regulations.pdf ๐Ÿ‘‡ SUBMIT YOUR OBJECTION HERE: ๐Ÿ”– READ THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS: ๐Ÿ“ข SHARE THIS POST.
