A few of our Surfer Kids are currently in Jeffreys Bay for a week-long training camp, making the most of the world-class waves at Lower Point. The early mornings have been filled with surfing, coaching, and plenty of hard work. The boys have been ripping over the past few days, pushing themselves and improving with every session. πŸ”₯πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ With the Eden Surf Riders Junior Trials just a few weeks away, we're excited to see all their hard work put to the test. Those who earn selection will go on to represent Eden at the South African Junior Championships right here at Lower Point, Jeffreys Bay, later this year. We're proud of their dedication and can't wait to see what they achieve. πŸ’™πŸŒŠ

The result didn't go Inam's favour in yesterday's U16 Boys Quarter Finals, but we couldn't be prouder of what he's achieved. πŸ’™πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ His dedication, focus and commitment have been incredible throughout this journey. Representing himself, our programme and our community on this stage is something to be proud of. Now it's back to the drawing boardβ€”more training, more hard work, and putting everything we've learned on this trip into practice when we get home. This is only the beginning, and we're excited to see what comes next. Well done, Inam. Keep chasing your dreams! πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸ”₯🌊

The past 48 hours have been nothing short of incredible! πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸŒŠ We've had an amazing stay in Ballito so far. Yesterday, Inam had the opportunity to train with the South African Junior Squadβ€”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. πŸ€™πŸ½πŸŒŠπŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦ #SurfingSouthAfrica #TeamSA #JuniorSurfing #Ballito #bitcoinekasi
