The new manageemt at Bleackbeard's Restaurant that overlooks Kite Beach here on Jekyll Island is re-vamping the entire facility and going with an
"extreme beach sports" theme for the decor. What they are asking for...
KIte sails of any kind- can be damaged beyond repair or otherwise worn.
Same with any kiteboards, surfboards
Any kind of gear, control gear or paraphanlia no longer used
Action photos of any powerkiting on land, surf, etc. that they can enlarge into posters and such. Imortalize yourself!
They will pay shipping for anything donated and in some cases outright purchase gear if there is residual value and it can be useful. They are happy
to promote and display brand-names, shop names, URL's etc.
JIBE attendees will recall that Blackbeards was very generous to us at the group dinner and they will host us again for JIBE 2009 in May with new
menu, new head chef and staff. They recognize the tourism value of kiting on the island and are openning their doors to all kiters for use of
restrooms, free ice from the bar for our coolers, etc.. They are re-doing the lounge to make it inviting for post-session refreshment and hanging
out- damp clothes and flip flops no problem. They are also expanding service on the beautiful wood deck that overlooks Kite Beach.
Restaurant patrons enjoy watching kite buggies zipping by on the beach and the kiteboarders on the water. This is great way to promote the sport so I
hope people can help out.
Contact me for details or questions. Thanks
