You know you're addicted when you watch a movie where a hero cuts through a dragon in flight's wing, and you think "****, he's torn one panel on the canopy, it's going to fly to one side now".
Yes, I am a nerd.
The wind picks up and you wonder just how important it is that your girlfriend expects you at the wedding that afternoon.
When it's Christmas Day and so many people are STILL on Seabreeze 
Love ur work Lozza. 
Fingers crossed for the 20-25 knots predicted! [}:)]
You know you AND your friends are addicted when you send most of your Xmas emails via seabreeze. 
Cos you know thats probably the only place they will be checking today.
You sit on the beach for 3 hours waiting for the wind to pick up because the forecast on seabreeze suggested that it would be kitable within a few hours.
When its only wednesday, and you know your out of work socks and critically low on clean jocks beacuse the past week has been blowin non stop after work. And recycling or wearing boxer shorts comes to mind because the forcast for the next 2 days is 20-30 knts.
I need a maid...................
You have been up all night on the piss and could sleep for days, however morning strikes and you can hear the trees moving and the wind howling at 8.30am. You now cant get back to sleep and cant relax because the adrenalin has started to pump.
Kiteboarding.....THE best hangover cure ever!!
I started lessons in December and have only had about half a dozen opportunities to go kiting (weather/work etc). I got up on my board a couple of weeks ago...
This has never happened to me before, but I now completely ZONE OUT of conersations (like in the movies), thinking about "next time I get up I'll twist my body this way" or "technique, technique, technique" or "focus on something upwind, UPWIND DAMNIT!!!".
Then the other person would say, "and what do you think?"
That's embarrasing, but AWESOME!!
Im addicted because my three kids are waiting for dinner and i'm fixing another fin to an old surfboard.
YOu know your addicted when your considering leaving the house you rent
in order to purchase new kites.
...when you start working out how to include a kite in your other leisure activities:-
Kite-yacht-racing
kite-squash
kite-rugby
kite-snowboarding (off to France this weekend!!!)
kite-drinking
kite-nightclubbing
...you're pushing the shopping trolley... and thinking how remarkably similar it is to steering your kite.. except with heaps heavier bar pressure... and damn (!) why won't it go where i want it to?!
(and btw, practicing one handed once the trolley is full is near impossible, at least with the size of my forearms!)
When the forecast for the weekend is showing nothing but 10 knot easterlies, but you still keep checking seabreeze every 2 hours... just in case...
when its 11.20pm and ive got to go to work in 3 hours, but im still on seabreeze checking the wind, to see if i should skip my breaks so i can get out of work earlyer and have more time to kite.
when you drive 140km every weekend to go for a good kite and use over $100 bucks in fuel and food, and can't buy your gf her birthday present
You know you are addicted when you come home and discover that a window is missing and some people stole your house but the first thing you do is ask your friend to wait for the police so you can go for a kite....
you're more interested in re-living the first ever turn you've just pulled off than actually finding the board you've lost way out the back shortly afterwards. I did find the board about an hour after packing up the kite, it now has my phone number and the word 'reward' on it...
......when you think than kiting is better than sex
.......when you only talk about kiting anymore
.......when you only have kiters as friends
........when your wife start to call your kite your mistress .....
