you use the dial up work computer and watch the kiteboarding vids frame by frame... This minute is taking for ever
You do your frist weights(pump) class in over a year that morning, and are crawling up staircases, but decide to go for a 2hr kite anyway that arvo. Vomit up the redbull and lunch ~30mins in and muscles are cramping but keep going for another 1.5hrs...
when you're cruising home on the train at about 5:30, going past leighton beach and see people out on big kites that are falling out of the sky, flying backwards, stalling, folding and are generally not doing the things that kites should be doing because there might be a gusty 14 knots if they're lucky and you find yourself thinking "you know what... I reckon there could still be time to go home, get my gear and get back to the beach for a good 15 minutes of not-quite-kitesurfing before it gets dark..." 
When you drive 300kms to ur closest beach only to find the wind is about six knotts :(
when u start replying to forum topics like this....
when u get cut because u cant get on forums at school....
naaaa im not addicted....
when your honeymoon destination must be windy, and you spend more time kiting than "consecrating".
and your eyebrows have turned blonde from sun bleaching.
you only ride the ocean, buts its an eastery and the swan river swamp is calling for a sesh ,,,,,and you go at 7.30 am on a saturday.
When you listen to songs and contemplate whether they have the right "tude" for your kiting video they are gonna make when you go pro....(as soon as I get good enough that is!)
This poses another question for me. How soon is too soon to be addicted?
I only got up on the board for the first time last weekend and I already find myself looking at the wind every 10 minutes and wishing I wasn't at work.
You are a 16-year-old girl and you ditch hanging out with all your friends because there's the slightest possibility the wind may come up today....
when you wife has be training for a marathon for 12 months and the weekend its on its windy, so you plot your afternoon sesh after the team finish so you can capture the front that was going through
.....you've been out 3 times ever, just got the hang of body dragging 
and already identify with half the posts in here!
This addiction is so fast! and all encompassing! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!
when you get home at 4 in the morning at get up at 5 30 that mornig to go spend the next 7 hours non stop kiten
you suddenly realise that you now have 7 kites and & 5 boards and it does not seem nearly enough to cover all conditions
You accidently end up on seabreeze every time your trying to check you truckin emai
Damn my one track mind
when your leaving the beach at 4 because no wind and turn your car lights on as this is the usual after a good arvo on the water leaving at 7 -8 haha
When your GF always seems to walk in when your checkin the wind but you "Honestly" have been workin, or you just got back from the beach and "just want to check your wind sense" to see if you could have been flying bigger!
your all ready to go out on a date, your hair n make up is all done, your driving out to go on your date, you drive past the beach on the way to your date, you notice the breeze is up all of a sudden, and then u call ur date to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances...
You also know your addicted when u cant make it to work on a 30knt day bcos 'grandma has an appointment with the specialist and no body else can take her as ur aunty who was supposed to take her has pulled out, again due to unforeseen circumstances'....
damn unforeseen circumstances!!!
You've got Labyrinthitis and argue with your boyfriend that being dizzy when moving your head really is no reason not to go kiting.
when you check the wind and seabreeze regularly even though you've never even been on the water yet... Bring on those lessons
when you awake from a re-occuring dream of your kite being dropped on the rocks and ripped into a million tinny pieces, NOOOOOOO !!!!
just thought id keep this post going.
