But,"Ah Ha",20kts predicted later in the evening,I know there meaning a lot later in the evening, but after 5 min of running it around in my head("gotta kite mode,non rational"), I've convinced myself there wrong.

I'm in the car and theres no wind, "that's ok", I'm in the suburbs, it'll be on when I get to the bay. Half way there and notice flags on building not moving, "that's ok", there wet, it's raining. I'm 5 kms away and on top of a hill, no movement in trees, "nah that's ok", theres a bigger hill in front of this one, and the trees are wet.
"Da Da", I've arrived and bound out of the car, walk through some trees to the beach. Standing on the beach alone, raining and no one in site, I take a deep breath then think, "F$CK,THERES NO WIND". So, I jumped back in the car and drive back home.

You fill your kite up with hydrogen just to have a fly in 3 knot winds, like the hindenburg i wonder if that would actually work?

• You draw a kiteboarding cartoon in your 'Start Of Week' meeting and starting out the window for any signs of wind
• You get to the beach, pump your kite, boardies one, realise you left your lines at home and wonder 'will that guy's fishing line be strong enough?'
• You call your old workplace and the first thing they say is, why aren't you kiteboarding?
• Your girlfriend says can I have a fly of your kite and you seriously consider your answer
