.....when you root your knee up kiting, and STILL monitor Seabreeze on a daily basis!
when u get concussed on wednesday from trying unhooked blind landing moves in way too much wind.. and then head out the day after 'just in case' theres no wind on the weekend o
You tear your medil ligament doing F-16's off waves and you try and barter with your physio to when you can ride again. "4-5 weeks", "3 weeks 
"
You know you are addicted when......
Your body is ****ed,
all the joints are wrecked and you are in complete denial,
but you insist on buying more kites and buying more boards,
when in fact you are totally past it, it's fucn tragic really.
This is not about me, someone else I know.
You know your addicted when..
You dump your girlfriend the day before Valentines Day so that you can afford to buy a new board . 
....everytime you go on the internet your hand automaticly clicks on seabreeze when all you want to do is check your emails or look at asian porn. next time it does, i'll cut the facking thing off[}:)]
when you miss last lesson of school even tho school finish's at 1pm on that day then you and your addicted friend double home (4kms) on a bike with a flat tyre.. then race inside.. grab the kite gear.. and further run 1.5kms to the city bus stop which goes out to the kite spot only so you could get an extra hour of kiting in 20knots
When you get as pissed as a cricket and your wife tells you the following day that you were sitting on the bed fighting with the curtain that was billowing across the bed and muttering "Come on Kite, come on Kite!"
u drag all of ur kite gear to skool on top of ur already heavy skool bag some how manage to cramp it onto 2 packed out busses and train walk for 5 k's total travel time =1 hour 15 mins for 45 at the beach set up and pack up included.
lol cheers to all me m8's that just sat there and watched me struggle gettin it all down the narrow isles of the bus

Hey Shelly,
Don't start unless you're ready to be as crazy about it as we all are.

You Know You're Addicted When...............
1/ You buy 3 boards (two brand new) and 4 new Kites in your first season and you're thinking to yourself "hmmmmm, If I get a Huge Bow then I can get out on those days when I can quite get it to work now" and it's still only your first season.
2/ When you've just been lifted 20ft into the air, crossed the shoreline and landed on the sand on your thigh (lucky or I would have broken something), and you're trying to convince yourself as you hop around like a cripple "It's just a really bad cork, maybe it'll settle and I can get back out there.
3/ You are THOROUGHLY pissed when you realise that it's not "just a really bad cork" and it won't settle, that you are spewing that your session was cut short AND you can't go out the next day.
4/ You go out next week, despite the fact that you still have a bit of a limp and just stick to jumping up to 6 feet so that "you don't aggravate your thigh TOO MUCH", then limp worse afterwords.
5/ Before you started Kitesurfing you used to work almost every hour of overtime available, but since starting if those trees are blowing You're gone as soon as you can get out the door.
6/ If there's even a slight chance of there being any wind in the afternoon, you pack all your gear into your car before work, because that means you can have an extra half an hour on the water.
7/ While assessing a move to the US for work, the first concern you have is "will there be any good Kitesurfing spots there or close by".

pfft skydiving - why pay someone to go on a skydiving jump when kiting is "free" (except for gear, petrol, replacement gear, spare gear, cases of beer, physio for injuries...)
I just sold my Skydiving gear to buy more Kiting gear, You're going the wrong way! So much energy for such little air time...plus the farts in the plane kill too many brain cells...
When you're chatting to a girl with whom a mutual interest has just developed, she says she's never really been into watersports, and mutual interest starts to fade...
.... You sell all your home brew gear, including kegs, CO2 tanks EVERYTHING just to buy a new kite 
The first time decent winds are blowing for two weeks but it's a week day - you know all your mates are on the water (they always let you know by text) but you've got to work.......so you sit at your desk trying hard to focus only on the computer screen, anger & desperation rising . With every second that drags by you're aching for when it gets dark because thats when the inner pain will ease - no-one else will be having fun so you're not missing out.
Oh and then you have to ignore your mobile because your mates want to tell you what a wicked time they had!
when you fail all your exams and dont hand in assignments because you are to tired, or cant concentrate enough because all you can think about is wind.
then you get a day with no chance of it being windy and you wonder what to do.
You purchase a new kite and beat the missus to the PO Box for the next couple of weeks. When will it get here 
You have never showed so much interest in getting all those bills!
