Nice one - One pump - and how do New Zealanders find their sheep in long grass ? 
You know you are addicted when you are getting seriously concerned about your addiction...
...and the only way to reassure yourself is thinking that a kite addiction must be better than a drug addiction, or even a cigarette addiction or alcohol addiction...
When you chose Friday night in browsing the forums and watching kite dvds over a night out with the crew so you can get up and train for the upcoming season in the morning.
Or maybe just getting old.
when ya keep checking the trees for movment an hopeing for the north east to some how magically kick in even tho forcast is crap for the whole weekend and still check wind readings thruout the day.
when you realize you did 5 days in a row coolum to sunshine even when
it was southwest for 2 of them....!!
when ya keep knockin off work soon as ya think its about right an start ringin around for someone else to come too for a drop off car

I would refrain from this practise as the worst could happen; she could fly away and heaven forbid, you would never see your kite ever again!
You know you're addicted when.......
You leave your job 2 months before long service is due, buy a van and fill it up with kites and hang out at the beach all day teaching kids to kite. And when the wind is on you get totally stoked watching your students nail their first turn, jump or backroll.
Downside...... watching your students nail tricks you haven't done yet cos your doin lessons when the winds on.
This is the best sport/religion ever!!!!
yOU'VE GOT THREE HOT , SIZE 8 BLONDES AND ONE BRUNETTE IN YER BED...LOOKING WANTONLY AT YA...AND YOU SAY..."NAAA i'M GOIN' OUT"
When your girlfriend says " I know you won't cheat on me, because you would prefer to go Kiting".
You know you are addicted when..
...
even the wrong strength and wind direction is looking atractive after a long winter.
...when your physio says you can kite again in 4 months (after a new ACL, and regenerated medial collateral and lateral courtesy of a kiting blowout), and you plan to kite THIS month.
As we can see here evolution isn't finished yet. There are still some people trying to take themselves out of the gene pool.
I'd be right there with you fella...
when you hit the refresh button 5 times before there is even a new update on the wind
oceaner that sound sjust like me at school in the arvos thats so true. I LOVE KITING
When you know that the BOM update the wind observations at exactly nine minutes past the hour (and half hour), yet you still hit refresh, just in case they are early for once.
when u and ur m8 have a six pack on the line for the first person to either get injured 
or comlete their first kiteloop . and we have both only goin in for our second season
someone tells you your addicted,
-cause the grass hasnt been mowed,
-the car hasnt moved from the same car park in the last season,
-kids have grown up with out you noticing,
-you can rig up all your kites with your eyes closed
-the credit card disagrees with you
-your boss has filed a missing persons report (5 times)
-the ranger knows your full name, number and where you live
-you arrive at every competitions by KITING there
-your harness hasnt moved for who knows how long
-your hair is sun bleached and full of crusty salt
-you no longer sleep with your missus
-you now sleep with your gear
-you never sleep
-you realise that maybe you should spend some time with the kids, maybe take them kite surfing...
-you mobile has 2000 missed calls,
-you start questioning your sanity
-you get a little land sick every time you hop off your board
when a hot chick[}:)] walks into your bedroom wearing nothing but a towel and you say, yea in 15mins, just wanna finish reading this article...
yep, no hope for us now
If a hot chick with only a towel on.... came up to me and said "lets go for it"........I'd go for it boys!!!
Then go kiting!!
When you accept a month long project in Namibia just so you can kite at Walvis Bay. Hey Laurie, no Namibia in the list of countries
No bloody wind in Namibia right now anyway.

My car got broken into on Saturday night and the first thing I checked was the back to see if the kite gear was safe! It was!! Made me think but have I got an addiction???
.... you bring your gear with you in the car and ask the designated driver to drop you off at the beach 7am after a 12 hour clubbing marathon containing at least 20 lagers, 20 fernets and 2 vomits just to catch the first wind of the day

Kite, or be kited on
