Mind is made up...now I have to convince the boss lady (No, not my girl, my actual boss) :wee::wee::wee:

Dude, start convincing her. You gotta come so I can buy you a Blue Moon!

It won't be easy. I seem to have made a name for myself in a short time. They dont like giving me an afternoon off let alone 5 days

Another bald guy registered! Bringing a guest as well so thats 2 more coming!!

YEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Time off cleared? Check! Registered? Check!! Hotel booked? CHECK!

It's ON baby! Now it's time to score some gear!

Great to see all you guys going.
I haven't been in the forum much but will not miss out on this.

Trying to get the small car ready for the haul. Looks like I'll have two plus me. My daughter is thinking maybe so.

I have to get on the water this year.

Great to see you guys in the forum, I'll be checking in more from here on out.

Laters,
Rocky

Rocky, Rocky, Rocky!!!!

Rocky!!!!! WOOHOO!!!

Can't wait to see you there bro!

Thanks guys, Looking forward to seeing you all as well.

just took a glance at JIs forecast this week on IKitesurf and the afternoon onshores have begun.............................almost like turning on a 2pm light switch.....................

Uh huh, and with the new moon and a perigeean spring tide, there is a 9+ foot tidal range, yielding a huge beach at low tide and putting the water in the dunes and almost to the causeway road at high tide.

During JIBE, the tide will be low late in the afternoon, starting at 4 pm on Wednesday. It will also be a new moon with 8+ tidal range. This later low tide favors the afternoon sea breeze which has started to develop consistently in the last week.

Use the links at the top of the page to get to registration or download the JIBE Guide PDF with maps, checklists, faxable registration and waiver.

Edit: Also recreated links here...

For those wishing to save a few bucks off the Jekyll Island hotels, there is everything you need at I-95's exit 29. I have added a new map and directory of the area here. It is just 11 miles from Jekyll.

The JIBE page is Here


Go direct to the purchase page here . Credit cards can be used securely.

I have a JIBE Guide PDF (click to open or right click to save) that you can download. It has directions, maps, checklist, schedule, registration and waiver forms for faxing. Faxing is toll-free and no cover page needed.

If you just want to download the Waiver and fax it to me (800 number is on the form) prior to the event then you have more time to buggy.

Please pre-register so that I know what to plan for. If you want to pay at the event, you can register on the CWS web site and mark select "Pay by Check/ Money Order"

One more reminder to all JIBE newbies. Blackbeards Seafood Restaurant, long known as the landmark to find JIBE, has been renamed "Fins on the Beach". My maps and the web page have been updated.

JIBE veterans will have to learn to navigate the construction detour to get to Kite Beach and JIBE. The stretch of Beachview drive you are used to using in front of the convention center is GONE, pending reconstruction of the new convention and shopping centers.

To get to the restaurant parking lot, you have to double back through the historic district as if you were going to the Turtle Center, then take a right on Shell drive which brings you out in front of the new Great Dunes Park, just south of the restaurant.

whos staying where minus the Kite fort (rascals)? We're at the Econo Lodge, exit 29........................

JI Campground for a most of the Gainesvillians.

How many in that number, you recon, Phil?

This is useful information for me. Knowing where people stay will help me promote the event with locals like the Jekyll Island Authority and Chamber of Commerce, etc. . May also help me negotiate discounts for an "anchor hotel" for the future.

Microtel with blue moon in the fridge

I've stayed at the microtel a couple times and it is perfect. A clean room with a comfortable bed for a decent price.

You'll definitely get me, Dean, and Nathaniel, though Nathaniel is moving to finer digs on the island on the weekend when two additional friends/family of his show up.

My campsite might get as many as 3 more from Gainesville, but they are tentative.
