Just curious to see whats the average amount of time people stay out for.
Im pretty buggered after about an hour and have pretty much used up all my energy. If the wind is still there after my break then I might head out for a bit more.
2-4 hour most of the time, any longer and I find I make stupid mistakes and get annoyed easily.
When learning and not doing any tricks all day (8 hours) with one or two breaks.
Now that i do more tricks 2 hours most of the time and 4 hours on a nice day.
My pb is 5am - 6pm, with a lunch break.
Woke up early one morning camping next to the beach and heard trees in the wind, ate brekky and left
Around 4 hours if the wind lets me (NSW) then I start making stupid mistakes as well. !
after stupid mistakes its time to stop unhooking start kite loops, massive fast transitions and old school tricks.
Keeping my tricks fresh keeps my mind fresh
From sun up till sun down with lunch and morning tea thrown in at Kite Safari in FNQ.

Until I start thinking about drinking the cool, sweet water I'm riding on.
5 mins then?.....
Sorry. I couldn't resist.
2 hrs. Due to work and family commitments.
Other wise I would lurk at the beach like a troll under a bridge and kite until I bleed and then kite some more.
Set the wife up under some shade at exmouth, went out on my jack at a cracking spot , had a ball for what seemed an hour , forgot all about the bride, copped a heap of **** at dinner, 4hrs apparently
This is beginning to sound a bit like a 'shoe box in the middle of the road" story!! LOL Ok - after about 2 hrs I'm beginning to wonder about the exponential burning of hard earned brownie points .........

I know I pee in the lake, and there's dead fish, birds, dogs, pigs, and people floating around so a bit longer than 5 mins

C'mon you drive them 10hrs to a paradise, set them up with a nice 25knts fanning them with an exfoliating sand scrub and they still moan
As long as I can.
On a good day, don't want to come in.
But its true the mind goes before the body, into stupid mistakes territory.

Imagine his reaction if a kook scull dragged through his latest creation
Honey what are those scratch marks on your back
Would you believe a bloke attacked be on the beach with a rake

Stupid mistake territory is when the body is getting tired.

Hahahaha.... though I suspect theses dudes are pretty chilled out. Can't really imagine an angry dude swearing a cursing when he draws his art...
Now think of the positives...... takes a long time to draw some art in the sand..... every day the sea comes along and wipes it clean for another go.... Could keep the missis entertained for months. Perhaps she would start nagging you "can we go to the beach? can weeeeeeee??", you " oh ok, but your'l owe me one!"

I kite till my body stops working, or if the bar start ripping blisters on my hands

Defacto, bought house, No kids: unlimited kiting
Its a brand new age, not a brand new day
I have a POWER HOUR and then 2 hours of "I should not have done that" and "that kiteloop was way too late" and "Hope the missus dosent see that bruise" and the allways inevitable "F@!$ that hurt".
