When all you need to do to re-apply zinc is to rub your face on your pillow.

When your home page has three 'tabs'....

1. Latest weather observations
2. Coastal waters forecast
3. Seabreeze

Frustrated with the lack of wind you invent a game called "kite cricket" involving a trainer kite, bar stool and beer can. Credit to Big Phil.

When broken knuckles stop you from gripping a bar you strap a spreader-bar to your cast and use it to hold the bar and keep kiting. Credit to Tones.

When you go to Egypt for a month and don't see one pyramid. Credit to pretty much the whole crew from Sept.

When the potential loss of a work car makes you think proactively and move to 300m from the kite beach instead of 1 km.

Haha some classics on here!

...you still think about the time last year you may have met the girl of your dreams that asked you to launch her kite...(it was her first time solo)

..find yourself trying to write something whitty after reading the last 24 pages - classic stuff, im hooked thats all there is to it. cant wait for next 6 months of joyous perth wind after only catching the bug at the end of last season. having saved enough money for 2 seconhand kites and a board - life is good!

You know you're addicted when the season kicks in and:

Ute maintenance doesn't get done
Bike maintenance doesn't get done
Housework doesn't get done
You go hungry because with daylight savings you can kite until after IGA closes.

Although you did put those new 'vertical pinstripes' onya wagon.

Too much of a hurry to get in the water - next time easy does it when taking off the tape.. easy does it..

Slow.. and .. steady.. wins.. the.. race.

..you toy with the idea that the windsurfing equipment you have in the garage and has only been used once this year might be worth maybe another kite, another kiteboard, new kite harness,new boardies and rashie.Or wait till next season when if I can find someone to buy 2 season old kit it might be worth a new rashie only.Yeh I'm addicted.There it's said.
Oh its 8:30 AM it's 20 knots and 4 days in arow will prevent me from staying out all day but hey lets have a bash.

When you start talking about your kite as if it is a living being. "She just wasn`t behaving herself today". Worse, when you start talking to it while you`re on the water. Mmm, maybe it`s just me.
You know you`re addicted when tax rebate is now called "New Kite Money".

...when all your passwords on internet are related to kite. (2 emails, 3 forums and more)
... when you want to work in the wind generator industry to live near windy places.

You consider quitting your job as a serious option when you have to work on the only day the wind has been really good in over two weeks
