The past 48 hours have been nothing short of incredible! ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐ŸŒŠ We've had an amazing stay in Ballito so far. Yesterday, Inam had the opportunity to train with the South African Junior Squadโ€”an unforgettable experience, learning so much and taking another big step forward. Watching all the hard work and dedication over the past few years lead to moments like this truly feels like a full-circle moment. Today, we wrapped it up with an epic surf session to get some solid practice in before the competition. The excitement is building, and we're so grateful to be here. A huge thank you to Surfing South Africa for making this opportunity possible. Motivated, and ready for what's ahead. ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿฝ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ #SurfingSouthAfrica #TeamSA #JuniorSurfing #Ballito #bitcoinekasi

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.
