These guys are so ready!! 4 of our best surfers are leaving for Jeffreys Bay on Sunday, to compete in the South African Junior Surfing Championships! They're kitted with new boards and wetsuits (first time they've ever had that) thanks to a a Blocks Discovery Grant!! And everything you see in this photo was paid for entirely in Bitcoin, in a way that the merchant received sats! Both our surfboard shaper, and wetsuit importer are accepting, using and stacking sats!

Win, as in gold medals, probably not, the level of competition is VERY high. But win a few heats and make it through a few rounds, yes, that's very possible. If we can keep up our current development trajectory (coaching, equipment, etc) we could produce a national champion within the next 5 years, easy. The question is can we maintain the current trajectory, because that depends on funding. But we're fundraising in Bitcoin, and saving in Bitcoin, so I'm very optimistic we can.
