I've been very frustrated for not being able to train.
I've seen a guy on Christmas break kiting and i got crazy, this is too cool, so I bought a training kite and I'm training.
but the fact is that i work full time and live in the west of Sydney (not close to the beach), therefore i only have weekends free for kitesurf.
But every bloddy weekend the wind is not good.
Is it normal? Is someone experiencing the same?
Also, is there any one with sone suggestion for cheap lessons?
thanks a lot
Just luck with the wind keep an eye on it maybe knock off work early to get down their 
Lessons are expensive but worth every cent u learn quicker their for have more fun
Easy: the addiction will take over and then you'll move near the beach.
Gotta be close so as soon as you see the wind tree move, the gear is in the car and you are at the beach!
Also, kiting mid week gives you another 70% chance of scoring wind!
Last year was excellent this year's crap that's just the way it rolls. Best tip I can give is when the winds up get out and enjoy it - no excuses. To many times in the beginning I use to say "today's pretty good but tomorrows even better so I save myself for tomorrow" BAD decision as Murphy's law gets you every time. I'm finding this year the wind/ rain forecast is wrong more times than it's right...
When it's on, you will probably find yourself taking single days annual leave if your work permits it.
I feel your pain. That's why most of us have at least 3 kites and 2 boards to cover from 9kn to 35kn. That way if it's blowing you usually get chance for a ride.
The other half of the battle is to let your wife know this is what you NEED.
Good luck
Every day of the week, life's about choices, get it right and you can live next to the beach, have great wind , and an income to buy your kit,

Get it wrong you get born in Syria 
life choices are great in the first world but not everyone gets the same ops
just saying...
I can kite in my lunch break so I am spoilt

Story of my life. :-)
Thanks guys for the replies... on e day I'll live near the beach, i promisse myself.
Murphy's law is playing a good part on it.
Bought one of those skateboards with big whells and hoping to be able to train on a grass field somewhere near home, like an oval.
Hope that will help me a bit.
Cheers
Unfortunately any sport controlled by the weather variables in Sydney has its inconsistencies hence frustration. How many surf contests are held in under 3 foot crap waves? This is what killed windsurfing in the early 1990s. We had 2 drizzly summers,little wind. So most guys gave up coz their no.1 weekend summer sport didn't exist.You need a backup sport such as pushbike riding,ocean swimming at least 1 klm or surfing.The chances of having wind over 16 knots on a weekend is slim.Good luck with it.
In Perth some weeks I kite upto 20 hours in a week, mostly on weeknights. There are heaps of guys out there WAY more than me. I finish work at 5pm.
i live in canberra, and have the same bloody problem. i look at the live readings down the coast while at work and watch the highs roll right off to NZ by the time saturday comes around, Gives me the $h!ts to say the least.
will hopefully get a run this weekend,
Been screwed by the wind gods again. Forecast for Sunday has been looking great all week, so organised other plans for Saturday. jump on METEYE this morning, Saturday is supposed to be ripping and Sunday has died in the arse
GAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, i am moving to the cost next year 
Should have gone to japan this summer, even on a bad day they have the best snowboarding in the world
Ah yes the wind Gods are truly a cruel lot.
I work outside ( roofing ) and the wind is a pain in the ass , and 90% of the time its windy.
Now the weekends turn up and NOTHING.........Frustrating to say the least..
Working is so overrated...
I've had to resort to wakeboarding this season due to the wind being so tempremental and hard to get right...one minute its 20kts, then 20 minutes later you arrive at the beach and its either dropped out or no where near as powerful as you thought...
Good thing about waking is you can do it pretty much when you want!! Bad thing is you need lots of money for a boat, fuel, a crew, gear, maintenance etc. etc.
how are u supposed to train without a kite?

In summer i can get out most windy days and if i miss a day or 2 its not to bad because theres always wind within tge next day or 2, but winter is depressing only get one or 2 days a week of kitable wind and if i happen to get stuck at work (days are shorter so getting away on time is a must) i get super frustrated, iv even done a few night kites. Just little half hour sessions but enough to get it out of my system. I live walking distance from where i kite which helps alot.
Can go 1 better
Wife made me bacon, eggs and hash browns and then i went kiting! Now for the cricket!!
