Goals for JIBE 2011?

mougl - 13-4-2011 at 02:11 PM

I know we are all going to JIBE to have some fun in the sun, but I'm curious to see who has anything special they would like to achieve while they are there. Post em up!

I want to top 40 mph in the buggy, get a handle on boarding (land), and learn the ins and outs of arcs.

DAKITEZ - 13-4-2011 at 02:17 PM

so good to have you back. I feel your stoke all the way over here on the west coast

tridude - 13-4-2011 at 04:03 PM

ride to the ship wreck and back with Todd.........enjoy JIBE with my son..........meet new friends from the forum and ride with the SOFKAS............................

frankiter - 13-4-2011 at 04:59 PM

I want to work on my depower skills and get some quality depower seat time. And, well, check out my mood!
I want to see about filling the hole in my quiver.
I wouldn't exactly say 40mph is a goal for me too, but it would be kinda cool....

But enough about me - what I really want to see is the Todd and Tridude show.

pbc - 13-4-2011 at 07:05 PM

I want to fly a lot of different kites. I want to do a down and back with every kite I can get my hands on. I want to try every kind of Arc. I want to fly every kind of depower. I want to fly something big and floaty in the marginal winds. In short, I want to be the biggest kite ho on the beach. If you see me flying something from my own quiver and want to swap just say the word.

I'm bringing both buggies and a few hitches. I want to give rides. I want to be somebody's camera platform.

I want to buggy with the pack.

I want to learn to kite surf.

Is that enough to fill 4 days?

Philip

BeamerBob - 13-4-2011 at 09:00 PM

4 days ought to do it! I always have plans like that every day I get to fly. You know how disappointed I am every time!

pokitetrash - 14-4-2011 at 06:19 AM

I plan to hit a tidal pool ONLY when I WANT to for a change! :lol:

Oh, and steal or buy someone's Phantom 9! :ninja:

mougl - 14-4-2011 at 06:52 AM

Mmmm, Phanny!

I still have dreams of that 15...

PHREERIDER - 14-4-2011 at 07:33 AM

PBC hang with me for 3 hours and you can check all off EXCEPT hit the water.

phantom to charger will be ready to go. if you can launch it you can fly it.

the fastest launch, down and back on my P15(KO) can have it! bow ties are unacceptable.

damn just remembered i already sent LAD syn15 back , so syn is not in the line up.

any way folks, thats a PHREE PHANTOM 15 up for grabs. any and all welcome!

i'll be there FRI/SAT . and sunday for bonus stuff if all looks good.

mougl - 14-4-2011 at 07:52 AM

Free phanny 15??????????

Dear lord! Time to watch vids!!!!!!

Must. Win. That. Kite.

nfleech - 14-4-2011 at 12:32 PM

Roll with the Buggy Bunch on a beach cruiser (hadlow as my motor) and hopefully get a booted sesh on the water...oh and have a great time!

mine will be there! lmao!

I wouldnt mind 40mph... i think (??) ive hit 30, but only recorded up to 20 (lousy soccer fields!)

i REALLY want to ride in one direction for more than 1 minute lmao!

any other kites i can see/fly im down, and i'd love to make the shipwreck run...

And i want to go to the georgia pig.... mmm dive food lol!

mougl - 14-4-2011 at 12:59 PM

He'll yes ga pig!

P.S. I'm stealing your 15

acampbell - 14-4-2011 at 02:28 PM

OK Gang, glad to see the stoke is on, because the easterlies are starting to dial in!!!

I have Phanny 15 and 19 and a post-repair Charger 19 that I need to fully evaluate.

Ozone has a new distributor that sounds reliable, so I am back with them and should have some demos there (flow, Method, Access, maybe Frenzy)

Both Craig and Chris from HQ will be down and will have tons of Demo gear.

I am working on pennant flags to plant in the sand at just the other side of the shipwreck; come back with one and get an "I made it to the Shipwreck T-shirt!" (direct cost may apply if I cannot get a sponsor).

The hickory smoke is wafting from the GA Pig every day!

Guided Sea Turtle Center tour is 9 am Friday AM. New exhibits, new science and new patients (but poor Griffin is still there floating with too much gas in his shell). $10

Those that can bring tandem gear will be appreciated. TV news and weather personality from JAX Tim Deegan will be covering the event, so lets get a ride for him and his camera!

So we need a tandem for Tim and a tandem for the photographer. I could enjoy the challenge. As long as there's no sound guy involved I think we can handle that. ;-)

Damn. That's quite an offer. I have one already, but if I had two I could bring a phriend to phly my Phantom.

I'm going to raise the stakes. I have been making sausage bags for my Arcs. It's a great way to store them if you like leaving the spars assembled. They're light weight and easy to load the kite into. They keep the kite from unspooling and keep the sun and sand off the kite while it sits packed on the beach. The keep the kite away from dirt and other hazards while in transport. I'll make one to fit the 15m Phantom. What color is the prize? I'll see if I have fabric to color match it.

If I am counting right there were 4 15m Phantoms listed in attendance at JIBE just in this thread. I believe pokite has one as well. Maybe we should have a class race on Friday?

Philip

mougl - 14-4-2011 at 09:47 PM

All these Phantoms are killing me!!!!!!

Hardrock - 15-4-2011 at 02:44 AM

I plan to get on the water, get on the mountain board and let the bug whip me again.

The water dream MUST come true for me to have achieved what the kite's started years ago.

Put the hitch on the car today and have the stowaway carrier ready to go. Still no good way to haul the Proof 151 buts it coming.

15 Phanny? Still got that never inflated never unfolded orange and black one hanging on the wall. What to do, what to do with it?

The best part will be seeing all you guys again.

acampbell - 15-4-2011 at 04:14 AM

I'll get a bunch of rebar, webbing & 'Beeners for ground anchors and we'll have an ARC park (Phanny pharm). If marked and tagged and left high near the dunes, we should be able to leave them (the anchors) overnight throughout the week.

mougl - 15-4-2011 at 05:10 AM

That's 6 15s coming. I'm trying to make it 7

Rocky: what to do with yours??? fly that thang!!!!!

PHREERIDER - 15-4-2011 at 05:48 AM

right on Philip!

pokitetrash - 15-4-2011 at 07:22 AM

'Nother Phat Phanny 15 and 12 coming!

BeamerBob - 15-4-2011 at 07:42 AM

You guys are killing me too. Phantom class race to the shipwreck and back? That needs some video and pics for sure.

mougl - 15-4-2011 at 07:50 AM

More????

Drewculous - 15-4-2011 at 09:15 AM

New goal, to add... Sorry foil gods.... But I want to try an lei.... Pure sick curiosity, I swear!
I could also be talked into trying a fs if one was handy :smug:

Phantoms

Cool

erratic winds - 15-4-2011 at 11:56 AM

Wow, I would love to see video/pics from a phanny class race!

Y'all have a great time! I'll be livin vicariously thru the pictures!

ripsessionkites - 15-4-2011 at 01:55 PM

... just trying to get there.

mougl - 15-4-2011 at 06:08 PM

Would be awesome to have you there Rip!

Todd - 16-4-2011 at 04:45 AM

Count me in for the Phanny race! I'll have the 15, 18, and 6 in tow. If Chad can make it I'm sure he'll bring his arsenal of Phantoms as well.

Goal? Just to get there and hang out with some great people, that's it.

tridude - 23-4-2011 at 06:53 AM

power slide with Mougls new 19m V2........................ :lol:

:duh::duh:

mougl - 23-4-2011 at 06:59 AM

LOL!!! it's not mine yet ;-)

cheezycheese - 23-4-2011 at 07:07 AM

I'm just trying to get there... Was set in stone, but the IRS broke out a chisel and
ke-boshed my bank acct. :mad:

yep uncle sugar soaked me for 10k plus this year............

cheezycheese - 23-4-2011 at 07:34 AM

Well it was a definite shock to me as I have NEVER owed. I was expecting at least what I owed as a return. To make matters worse I got the call from my accountant while I was at WW...

bobalooie57 - 23-4-2011 at 07:48 AM

Dang those carpetbaggers, wasting our good kite money like that. They keep squeezing the middle like this, and they will pinch it off, making only upper and lower. Just what is needed to create a 'legal' slave state, with all "lower's" indentured servants of the "upper's". Sorry for the rant, prolly one of those posts that I shouldn't, but will anyway! :lol:

PHREERIDER - 23-4-2011 at 08:20 AM

money will be as time

you don't know where its coming from and you don't know where its going

illusions are phun!

flyjump - 23-4-2011 at 11:36 AM

360 one footers, food, warm weather, and sex with the new wife:karate:

tridude - 23-4-2011 at 12:50 PM

@ Angus/HQ,

would like a go on the Matrix.............your 15m would be nice to demo against a 13m Psycho3/12m Pulse 2

flyguy0101 - 23-4-2011 at 01:17 PM

Adam,
Since i am sure you have not consumated the wedding vows yet....... i can tell you there is nothing better then loving a married woman :rolleyes:

scott

flyjump - 23-4-2011 at 01:42 PM

Hahahaha....it's gonna be a great time

snowspider - 23-4-2011 at 06:53 PM

Geez Adam even while you fly round and round your head is screwed on pretty tight. Those are magnificent goals.

flyjump - 23-4-2011 at 08:35 PM

joy is so rad, for a woman to want to honeymoon at a kite event with all you kooks shows how amazing she really is

nocando - 24-4-2011 at 05:04 PM

Fly jump I am gonna make your new wife put rocks in your shoes

Whats that going to do ?????????

MAKE YOU LIMP

Taper123 - 24-4-2011 at 06:42 PM

I'm in the process of changing jobs... If I can get it scheduled I'll be there. When the tides are out and the winds are onshore... the beach for JIBE rocks.

shehatesmyhobbies - 24-4-2011 at 06:46 PM

I am still a go!

My goal is to make tons more friends! Make it to shipwreck and back! Last but not least, Put the 18m Phanny up for it's maiden voyage!

Can't wait to get there!

mougl - 25-4-2011 at 07:50 AM

One more goal: to not finish last in the pink skirt race!!

Hardrock - 1-5-2011 at 10:30 AM

I'm sorry, but I aint getting involved in a pink skirt race. Wait a minute, if you can't get to the finish line, does that mean you loooose?

I would think that disqualifies you, right?

I had a slow dance in high heels once where I swapped them for my cowboy boots but a pink skirt? I don't get that drunk anymore...

That musta been one big girl! You were there REALLY late huh???? :piggy:

mougl - 1-5-2011 at 06:04 PM

Does this mean no Blue Moon Rocky?

Hardrock - 2-5-2011 at 12:39 AM

Yea it was late thats for sure but I can't remember how BIG or much else.

I doubt those Blue Moons would do much damage, tho I never did try one. I will try a few this go round. LOL

mougl - 6-5-2011 at 06:13 AM

Another goal:

Be able to buggy the day following a night of Irish car bombs...
