SEABREEZE!

When your referred to as a part time boyfriend in summer......

You know you are addicted when your irish its St.Patrick's day and you head to the beech instead of going on the piss with your mates.

... when your mate hands you a written invite to his housewarming party whilst at the very same time exclaiming, "We are having a little get together next Sunday so if theres no wind we would love you to come along"
Nothing like an understanding mate.
Saves you from a whole lot of embarrassing excuse making.

When you take up heroin to kick your kitesurfing habit

chrissyg gets the credit for this one.

When you're describing someone and you say that "they're about a 16m" when your referring to their weight.

Good one chrissy!

When you live on the beach, so put an anemometer with a solar powered radio transmitter that sends the readings to a display in the house. You then set up a webcam pointed at the display and have the site open on your screen at work all day.
If I wasn't the boss, I would have fired myself for disppearing to important "meetings" that coincide with 15kt + winds.
But that's not the beginning of the addiction.
I went out kiteskimboarding last week and had a prang, hurting my foot.
I am denying that it is injured despite looking very much like a broken metatarsel. And the reason I am avoiding an X-ray - is because the WIND WILL BE UP on the weekend, and I don't want a doctor telling me I can't kite in the next couple of days.

you believe BOM forecasts

When you come late and accidently run over the girlfriends 18 year old family cat and hastily bury it so you can get 1/2 hour in.

>>Laurie is this the longest post ever?

Not yet, but its the best!! .. problem is .. I identify with waaay to many of them!

..you know you're addicted when you find out one day driving to the beach, that it can be windy at the beach, but not where you live and you are so horrified at the idea of missing out on water time, that you setup a website with wind graphs on it.

You casually mention it to *one* person, and 8 years later...

when your mate hits you up for the early surf, you know you only have one outing for the day coz of family commitments etc and you know the wind is up in the arvo...
'..KEN GREAT KITE SESS IT WAS TOO!!

The forecast is for wind.......
You plan to go........
But it looks 8 knotts and cr^ppy.........

No way am I going out........
Its OK, need to do some stuff anyway.......
Its a good thing really.......

Then this dude pumps up his kite........

So you race to the car, get your kite up.........

Half an hour later you have a wet, sandy kite in the back of your car as you head off home........

Looser

you break your right hand finger, and strap it up and still go out kiting ... too bad the winds were a bit too strong and I had to come in anyways...

You get stung by a stingray spend hours in pain that night and go out the next day.HOOKED ON IT

When your watching the tv and you notice the trees are moving on the show, which makes you wonder how strong the wind is and what direction!!!!
