Waves of Change: Bitcoin Beach Crew Hits Majahual for Surf Sessions and Smiles

Black sands stretching along the Pacific coast, waves crashing like thunderous applause, and a group of salty-haired surfers armed not just with boards, but with a mission to spark joy and opportunity in young hearts. That’s the scene that unfolded yesterday in Majahual, El Salvador, when the Bitcoin Beach crew rolled into town. Known for turning a sleepy surf village into a global Bitcoin beacon, this tight-knit team brought their signature blend of adventure and empowerment to the kids of Majahual—proving once again that Bitcoin isn’t just about sats; it’s about stacking skills and family.
For the uninitiated, Bitcoin Beach started as a grassroots experiment in El Zonte, where surfer-turned-entrepreneur Mike Peterson dreamed up a circular economy powered by BTC. What began with anonymous donations and beachside Bitcoin wallets has blossomed into a movement that’s banked the unbanked, funded lifeguard training to steer youth away from gangs, and even inked the Salvadoran national surf team’s first paid contracts—all in BTC. It’s the kind of story that makes you believe in the power of code and community. And now, they’re expanding their “Surf Para Todos” (Surf for Everyone) program, which already thrives in spots like El Zonte and Conchalío, right here to Majahual’s beginner-friendly breaks.
