you are too afraid to leave your house for 40 mins , as you'll miss out on the seabreeze graphs revealing the beginning of the only descent breeze for the day while you are gone

When you prioritise your different sporting and social committments around kiteboarding, even though there's nowhere to kite for hundreds of kilometres.
When even though you've got 3 kites, 3 boards, 2 harnesses, spare lines, loops, straps, bars - you still check out the "for sale" section just in case...
...and think about buying that 5m kite for when its nuking, even though you cant remember the last time you flew your smallest kite & when you pull it out of the bag it still has that new kite feel.
....you bring your cows in for their first milking at 4:00am so they will be ready to go again at 1:00pm
Cause theres a seabreeze forecast to come in mid afternoon.
just one of the stories from the W'bool vid night - thanks for coming fellas ![]()

A week after spending $900 getting the timeing belt done and a full service and new batery your car $hits it's self and starts to piss coolant out of the radiator. As you watch the temp gauge sore up .You forget that this could now cost another $900 and are more worried about the fact that you will be without a car tommorrow if it's windy .![]()

When ya get dragged ova a sandbar full of rocks and shells... pull the pin when your trim strap is full depowered and bar fully out... go in... derig... get outa your wetty... sit there watchign the others come in when the wind drops... the wind comes back up again... they head out so i rig back up and go in boardies and a rashy lol... dont come in again till your shivering uncontrollably cos the wind was better than the last session and your afraid of not having a decent session for another 4 weeks!!!!! My day today lol ![]()
when its your first day back at work after a 3 week kiting holiday (where all you did was kite, talk about it or watch dvd's of kitesurfing) and before 10am your boss catches you checking out the seabreeze graphs to see if the weekend looks good.....oops!
you known when you are addicted when people said is not getting a lot wind in australia in winter and you will fly to days from spain to be sure... i want kiting in australia alls days long during two fuc...ng months. sh......t la ostia puta , joder!!
"You know your addicted when the night before a blow, instead of goin out you pull your pump apart and grease the O-ring..........just in case maaaaaaan!
you know your addicted when your sitting in class and suddenly realise that you have been staring at the wind in the tree outside for at least 20mins not having a clue what is going on in the class. and im the teacher.![]()
You know ur addicted when you sit down and read all this pointless cr@p and then relate to every scenario.
when you havent even got on to the water yet and think you can relate it all to your foil flying days
its just not the same
......when any lever on any tool in the factory can be used as a bar to practice your handle passes on ![]()
...after each session, you individually jury-rig your quiver of kites in the garage - wash them - dry them down (using a motorised garden blower) - then carefully fold them back into their bags.
Nothing beats unpacking & rigging a fresh, crisp, clean kite ![]()
I kite every day!
When you set the seven day forecast as your background and spend $400 on a home weather station so you can find out the wind speed without leaving your bed. (Best spent $400 ever)
When you keep checking Seabreeze every five minutes not for the wind, but to check the ongoing saga between TimothyLeary and HungLong.
Who needs soap operas.

Hunglong, Hunglong

When ur at school and don't learn one thing beacuase ur to busy looking for any movemnet in the trees..... at the slightest bit of movemnt you get excited but then relise that there is no where near enough to go kiting..... seen as u have done no work in class u decide to catch up at home... but while on the computer u unkowingly come across the seabreeze website and spend the rest of the afternoon looking for a change in the forcast once agian not doin any work.....
you sit in class looking from the movement in the trees... then look to your school oval and bak to the trees againg and then wonder if there would be enough wind to get your kite in the air and on a mountain board on oval hahah
You then go ask your head sport teacher if you would be allowed to bring a mountain board and your kite so you can kite on the school oval during sports lesson and lunch hours in future
funny that he said no i woulda never seen it comin i swear [}:)]he said sumthing about ppl dieing and insurance hahaah better watch out for the footy posts ![]()
Hi guys,you might like this 1. When I recently reviewed my work package,I made sure that Kite surfing time was allocated to me during the summer months.my bosses agreed that I could knock off early 3 days a week. Got the cake and can eat it to.
... you return from your kiting trip and dumb qantas lose 2 kiting travel bags with ALL our gear!!!!
then you ball your eyes out in front of all your fellow passengers... AND YOU DONT CARE... all you want is your stuff back
[}:)]
When you start trying to create ways of using your kites with things other than kite boards when there isn't enough wind for kite boarding.
ie. Sand boards, skate boards, roller blades, rubber duckies, fixing smoke bombs to your kite (none of the above personally attempted... yet).![]()
when you insist on running down the isles in the supermarket
with the trolly whilst pulling back on the bar and lighting up only to come in too hot at the check outs.
where's the bloody pin....... ohhhhhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
When you buy the new season 9mtre, 13mtre and 15mtre kite in the same colours so the missis thinks you only have 1 new kite.
