.... when you say to your girlfriend of 7 years, "one reason for not getting married is because a rings costs a lot of money." She then says "you can't get a new board till you buy me a ring!"........
Monday - $4k on a diamond ring
Tuesday - $1k on a North WAM

you burn your guts bad. harness rubs the skin off. the next two days it's +25 knots and you go kitesurfing anyway, reasoning "the salt water will be good for the wound... I'll then have a few weeks off to let it heal."

3 or 4 days later you're at a new beach, there's an awesome flat water rivermouth with dark evil tannin stained murky water, the worst possible place you could go if you're trying to keep the wound clean... you go kitesurfing the next two days anyway, reasoning "hell, chicks dig scars".[}:)]

You here about Textaphrenia (Constantly checking your mobile to see if a message has arrived) and wonder if there's a name for constantly checking the beach to see if there's wind...

I'm a learner, but I know I'm addicted because I got tea bagged onto the beach twice Saturday at Kirra QLD, I can hardly walk and it feels like my hip is broken. I can't wait to try again.

When you apply for uni at 25 despite having a great job, in the hopes that you can use this as an excuse to not move out of your parents home, get a casual job and use all the spare time that has been found to kitesurf.
Then realise that it isn’t until next February that Uni starts so offer to cover the daylight savings shift and start at 7 rather than 8 so you can get out an hour early and get some kiting in in the afternoon on the days when there is some wind.

I had some old dear look at me funny the other day when I was fish polling the shopping trolley handle, going through an F16 sequence.

Needless to say she diverted down another isle.

you know you are addicted when....mid winter 12 degrees and 20 knot south wester.
you get bogged on bushes at the beach, start to set your kite up and your 4 wheel drive catches on fire under neath because you have travelled there at 140 kms an hour, you panic , ring a mate to help pull you out, while bucketing water on your car and digging out underneath , almost succumb to the smoking red hot embered sea weed, get burnt hands and wet clothes. Your mate arrives ,pulls you out ,laughs at you , and all you can do is clamber into your wet wettie and still think of nothing else but the 2 hours before dark and the tide being perfect and the wind 20plus.
