That's right, we had our first ever Steemit surf session, Sunday July 31, 2016. It was me (Jay), my fiancee (Skylar, pictured above), my dad (Tommy) and our two friends George and Stacy.
We wanted to help spread the word of steemit to a different crowd. So far, it appears #steemit is only advertised to the people who know of crypto currency, travelers and not really any people in the extreme sports community. A lot of posts are strictly about steemit. This site should be focussed on sharing life's adventures and our stories, not talking about the same thing over and over. I think users want to see how steemit changes our #life and hear about how we use it in a positive way. This video was made to help get the extreme #sports world involved. I think this is a great way to get steemit's name out there and keep our community growing. Steemit would make a super cool surf sponsor! Look how good the logo looks on our surfboard!
I actually used my first earnings from steemit to pay for our #trip! This included, gas for the truck, gas for the boat, food and drinks. I earned some steemit dollars from a post about donating my hair to cancer. I sold the steemit dollars for Bitcoin and then sent the Bitcoin to my bank account. Steemit paid for our entire day of surfing and I had plenty to spare afterwards! My goal is to keep using what I earn on steemit to take trips every weekend to go surfing. We all love surfing and think it is so amazing to be able to use steemit to continue doing what we love. It would be awesome for steemit to some day be a sponsor in the extreme sports world. We made our own riding tank tops to represent steemit. It was actually my fiancee's first time ever getting on a wave and she had a blast!
We had our cooler with us so our drinks could stay cold all day!
Here is what our day of #surfing and hanging out was like. Thanks again Steemit!!
