JIBE is going on right now

Wind was fantastic yesterday and, aside from a 20 minute squall, it was sunny and beautiful. There were very few people on the beach and a gaggle of awesome kiters. All in all, JIBE day 1 was full of win.

Wish you were here. :)

Wish I could be there. In any I case hope you have great winds for the duration.
Have fun everyone!

It was great Dave! Words can't describe the amount of smiles on those extended runs from the south tower :D :D :D

Kites, buggies, and boards oh my.....

I am, man. Even caught a bit of air yesterday for you. Have you had that psycho out yet?

Hey 3hot, How's the GoPro mount working for you?

great video. I'm going to stop torturing myself watching everyone have fun and get back to work now.

Wow, I'm missing the sand and the people! You guys have fun and put in some miles.

Yesterday's runs were nothing short of EPIC! I finished out the day doing an hours worth of supercharged, sand slingin' downturns. :wee: :wee:

@riffclown, the mount is pretty sweet

DRAAAAAAAAT ... I wanna see but can't get the blasted thing to play on my iPhone!!!!! And I can't watch on my laptop cuz there's no wifi in our rental... Urg!

He he he, well at least I was there :smilegrin:

Epic day for sure (as much as I am not fond of the word "epic"... It fits) definitely the best day EVER.

I'll try this:

Yyyyyyyes... That worked!!!

Very nice Dave!!! Great job editing.

Who was the bearded-super-nerd about 1/2 way thru?... His buggy sure did look cool :D

ssayre - 15-5-2014 at 12:38 PM

soliver, you can copy and paste any youtube link in the browser (safari) and it will work. I do it all the time on my iphone when someone posts a link instead of embedding the video.

Hahaa, soliver. BTW, on that "awesome" bug with upgraded wheels, I spy a gopro mount. I hope we get some video from you as well, hint, hint.

Yea, I've got quite a lot of footage to cull through... I may be able to get something posted by next week... No wifi here and a LOT of reading to do for class.

Tried that and it still doesn't work... Something weird going on with the YouTube app. I can't watch YouTube vids on Safari unless it's embedded, ...if I click a link, it automatically opens the YouTube app... Weird.

ssayre - 15-5-2014 at 03:48 PM

mine does to. You have to click and hold down the link until 2 options will pop up at the bottom. one is open in youtube. do not click that one, it won's work. The other one will be "copy". Click that then paste it in the header of the safari page and it should work. by doing this your essentially doing manually what the link is suppose to do automatically. It's weird.

soliver - 15-5-2014 at 05:14 PM

Yea, I know... But for some reason, it thinks that the vid has been blocked for copyright reasons and still won't play... I just deleted the YouTube app and it seems to have helped,... Though now it says it won't play on mobile devices & must be viewed on a PC... BAH!

I really only have success with viewing YouTube vids on my iPhone when the vid is embedded... Annoying

Sorry for the hijack...

JIBE = awesomeness, carry on...
