Here is a recap of the weekends events swiped from the Gibbon Blog. Check out the blog as they travel the South West US. They are currently holding up in Encinitas, CA and exploring San Diego from here. Check out pictures from July 5th and July 4th in the Photos section or just clicking the links.

San Diego BLAST 

The first day Frankie arrived at Mission Beach - but alas the local Park and Rec came down with an iron fist of fury and there was no joy for the slackliners! Too bad the lines were all set up. Never mind - in a heartbeat Frankie and crew had things torn down and the race was on to get to Moonlight Beach before the crowds took up all the sand. In no time at all, (all right, maybe it took a little while) seven lines were up and our new best friends the awesome and amazing, (and pretty darn handsome too) Gibbons guys were busy wowing the Fourth of July crowds with their antics. Pretty soon the lines at each slackline were loooooooong and we had new converts galore. The most fun for me was watching the looks on peoples faces when they first put a foot on the line. Wow!  Too much fun. The little kids mastered the line in no time and made it look easy. Ho was doing his pirate thing in his balloon pants - good thing we had a pirate flag to fly. No one seemed to mind. Frankie cooked up his world famous (well at least we all know about them) burgers with the secret ingredient. Heather, Jasmine, The San Diego Slackline meetup group including Liz, Nathan, Justin, Brian, Megan, Nick, Bryson, (am I forgetting anyone??? - oh yeah, and yours truly) were all there to join the fun.  The good food and the really healthy orange juice gave everyone the energy they needed to go until sundown. From there it was off to dinner at El Callejon (thanks guys - they kept the place open just for us). The next day we found the perfect spot at another beach at Shelter Island and thereafter went back to Moonlight Beach for a second session. Some kids came for the second time, others joined. Many could not even speak english (but spanish), but slacklining seems to solve that problem in itself. By the way: It’s amazing how easily tables of 1000 pounds or more can be moved by jumping on an attached slackline!
