you sell your ticket to pyramid rock festival just before your about to leave because the forcast is awesome for new years ......nice one crowy.....
You know your addicted when you accidentally start putting on your stinger suit and rashy to go to the movies.....
When all your mates are going to the Summerday gig tomorrow in the supreme court gardens and you can not aford it but then check the forcast . And they think I'm missing out .
hahahahha my m8 goes to me i wish i was goin to the summerdays concert the chicks there are wikid.. i just laughed and said have u been to the beach on a nice summer day have u seen the chicks there :P gotta love the beach wind or no wind
you go home for lunch, and never come back cuz it's mac'n. when you get home there's 10 missed calls on your mobi, 
When on an application form for a new job, when answering the question "what are your major time commitments during term in hours per week" you only include kitesurfing.....
'Tis the life.
ok some funny answers here, mine isnt funny, but i think moving interstate to kite, and changing work so your working in the kiteboard industry is a sign of some sort of addiction.
When you read the wind and it says 25knts+ and you have a little spaz attack and fall over because it hasnt been this windy in ages 
still stoked!
when you wake yourself up at 4am by kicking your leg out the side of the bed.
Luckily my wife didn't wake up , I would of sounded kind of pathetic explaining that I was trying to get my edge down to deal with that gust that just came through. (good though - I swear it was 30 knts.)
You've just finished a 4 hour session, every muscle in your body aches and youre driving home along the coast watching all the flags blowing in the front yards and thinking I could probably pull into the next bay .. you know , just one more run.
Sitting at the Gabba...Australia 6-71...wait...all is not lost...if they get out for 100ish I may have time to get on the water for a session.
while your wakeboarding and you come back in to hit the wake and u try to send your kite.
When your out on the town and you try to do the best grab down stairs and ya mate jumps into the roof, falls on his back and slides down to the bottom! Try explaining that to the bouncer..
when you have yet to do a proper days work in your life because you follow the wind and warm weather all over the world.
When you spend entire plane trips looking out the window looking for some secret spots
Or you simply live in mauritius 2 mins away from one of the best kit spots in the world and every time you seil in wa think about LE MORNE!!!!
come and be welcome guys!!!
cheers

You read nearly every page on this thread and can identify with just about all of them
You develop a serious emotional attachment to your favourite board. You refer to her as she (and her... doh!)
You know you're addicted, or at least seriously interested, when you tell your clients that your charge out rate depends on the wind speed. The rate is flat from 0 to 10knots and increases steeply to 18knots. From 18 to 25 knots it decreases slowly (yes, I'm quite a noobie). From there it decreases to 35knots quite steeply and is then flat, but a little higher than in the 0 - 10 knot range. After all, I may be new to the sport and hence not able to go out in more than 25knots, but I can still watch those who can! The scary part is that, when I tell some clients this, they believe, understand and accept it! So some phone calls (when there are green arrows) start with, "I know it will be expensive, but we need a, b,c ...by tomorrow...."
you smile, slyly, as you realise that the same mobile phone keys used to type "kite" are used to type "live"...
therefor "kiting" is "living", and "kiters" are "livers" (even if some of us haven't got much of that organ left )
So,
sorry azza but we have had that one. but i agree completely
examples 1. live? 2 living this arvo? 3 have you been living this week
when you've been 17 days out of the last 25 and still are angry that the wind didn't deliver today
You have just broken your ankle in two places along with several fractures by mislanding a simple 360 rotation. You are told you may always walk with a limp and may never kite again, yet you still check the wind and wake yourself up in agony from dreaming about landing a new trick in your sleep!
I bet Garcia is loving you at the moment with rostering Northside... You'l off the roster for what six weeks ?, sucked in garcia !, enjoy the holiday northside
