All smiles and full of stoke after yesterday's skate session! 🛹🫶 Our Seals and Turtles crew absolutely crushed it. ✨ #groms #Shanana🤙 #SurfStoke #sk8life

🌊🏄‍♂️ So stoked to have had some of our groms (ages 7–12) 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! 🤙🌊 #GromLife #FutureSurfers #SurfingSouthAfrica #OceanConfidence🤙🏄‍♀️🌊#TSK🫶

#SPEDN zinyoka@blink.sv btcmap.org/merchant/3108 This isn't speculation—this is Bitcoin adoption in action. 🪙⚡️ 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. Incredible work by Bitcoin Ekasi 🇿🇦 @Bolt Card

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.

Big milestones, exciting opportunities and a few challenges along the way. Catch up on the latest news from The Surfer Kids on our latest blog post🌊🏄‍♂️ Link below👇: https://share.google/CXWdGWKLduBQjm2W5

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! 🌊🤙💙 #TSK #SurfFamily #FutureChampions #BombSquad #Community

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. 🌊🏄‍♂️☀️ 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. 🤙 #SurfLife #FamilyTime #SantosBeach #KidsWhoSurf #OceanDays BeachLife #WeekendVibes

#SPEDN nosihle@blink.sv btcmap.org/merchant/58 No Banks. Just Bitcoin. * Sound Money in Action. Money should be owned by the people, not the banks. ✊⚡️ That’s why we use Bitcoin. It isn't just a tech trend—it is real, unfreezable, global money in action Thank you Daniel de Necker for the visit. #Bitcoin #SoundMoney #FinancialFreedom #LightningNetwork #BitcoinEkasi

Waves have been small the past couple of days, but the groms found a little runner down the beach and had an absolute blast. ☀️🌊 Beautiful weather, sunshine all day, and plenty of stoke in the water. 🤙🌞🏄‍♂️

It was extra cold in the parking lot last night after a few waves at Outer Pool — you can tell by the looks on their faces 🏄‍♂️😄 always frothing nonetheless🔥😃

Today, Bitcoin Ekasi proudly celebrates the two pizzas that changed history forever. In 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world Bitcoin transaction by buying 2 full pizzas with 10,000 BTC. What looked like a simple meal became the beginning of a global financial revolution. Today, communities like Bitcoin Ekasi continue that story by showing how Bitcoin can support local businesses, feed families, and build stronger communities from the ground up. From 2 pizzas to a movement changing lives — history continues to be written every day. Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day.

Last year we took a crew from our organisation to Jeffreys Bay to experience the magic of the J-Bay Open and surf some of the most beautiful point breaks in the world.🏄‍♂️ While there won’t be a J-Bay Open this year, we’re beyond excited to be heading back this July for another unforgettable training camp with a few of our surfers. The kids are absolutely frothing, counting down the days, and ready to keep learning, growing, and chasing waves at one of the most iconic surf spots on the planet.🌊 Here’s a little throwback from last year’s trip 🤙🌊 J-Bay, we’ll see you soon.

#SPEDN zinyoka@blink.sv http://btcmap.org/merchant/3108 The government talks about banning self-custody of Bitcoin, while this is what we are doing at Bitcoin Ekasi 👇 Kids in our community are learning how to save, spend, and use Bitcoin in the real world with their Bitcoin NFC Bolt Cards. This is more than technology it’s financial education, freedom, and opportunity. We are building the future from the ground up in South Africa. Bitcoin gives power back to the people.

The world needs to see what grassroots adoption looks like! 🌍⚡️ The Bitcoin Ekasi team went house-to-house, and the community showed up in force.
