when you dump you girlfriend of 23 months because she wont let you kite more then once a week.
thanks for the last 2 years brita but im happier now :)
you become a web cam wank 'performer' to make money for a new board....... Good money though!!!
.... when you say to your girlfriend of 7 years, "one reason for not getting married is because a rings costs a lot of money." She then says "you can't get a new board till you buy me a ring!"........
Monday - $4k on a diamond ring
Tuesday - $1k on a North WAM
Everyone is a winner 
(except the credit card)
when your in your last year of school and everybodys going to partys every weekend, but you decide not to go just so you can work 2 jobs to get that new 9m
i choose to go kiting and my husband takes our 4yr old to a pre-school birthday party !
u broke ur finger on the wkend but ur still going kiting tomoro coz the conditions r on!
^^^^thats not the sign of addiction, thats the sign of being a pussy if you don't go kiting.
broke a finger, jebus, you got nine more (eleven if you're from tassie or helensburgh)
you burn your guts bad. harness rubs the skin off. the next two days it's +25 knots and you go kitesurfing anyway, reasoning "the salt water will be good for the wound... I'll then have a few weeks off to let it heal."
3 or 4 days later you're at a new beach, there's an awesome flat water rivermouth with dark evil tannin stained murky water, the worst possible place you could go if you're trying to keep the wound clean... you go kitesurfing the next two days anyway, reasoning "hell, chicks dig scars".[}:)]
When u look down at the dash board to see how fast your going and the first thing you see is rpm, the second... fuel 
Difficult when any thing new is needed. New topic, new email, new mobile phone, new chux, new washing machine, new mother inlaw, new double pluggers!
I want to go kiting 
YOU RIDE THRU A STOP SIGN COZ U WERE SCANNING THE TREE TOPS LOOKING FOR ANY SIGN OF WND
You here about Textaphrenia (Constantly checking your mobile to see if a message has arrived) and wonder if there's a name for constantly checking the beach to see if there's wind...
First post 
*waves*
I found that I am addicted when I was not checking stock market changes with few hundred thousand investments instead of checking wind directions and power :D
when you take on a new employee to look after the job site so you can slip down the beach when wind picks up
I'm a learner, but I know I'm addicted because I got tea bagged onto the beach twice Saturday at Kirra QLD, I can hardly walk and it feels like my hip is broken. I can't wait to try again.
When you apply for uni at 25 despite having a great job, in the hopes that you can use this as an excuse to not move out of your parents home, get a casual job and use all the spare time that has been found to kitesurf.
Then realise that it isn’t until next February that Uni starts so offer to cover the daylight savings shift and start at 7 rather than 8 so you can get out an hour early and get some kiting in in the afternoon on the days when there is some wind.
you know you are addicted when....mid winter 12 degrees and 20 knot south wester.
you get bogged on bushes at the beach, start to set your kite up and your 4 wheel drive catches on fire under neath because you have travelled there at 140 kms an hour, you panic , ring a mate to help pull you out, while bucketing water on your car and digging out underneath , almost succumb to the smoking red hot embered sea weed, get burnt hands and wet clothes. Your mate arrives ,pulls you out ,laughs at you , and all you can do is clamber into your wet wettie and still think of nothing else but the 2 hours before dark and the tide being perfect and the wind 20plus.
you spend a couple of grand in less than an hour after getting it on more addtions to the quiver
