What gives you the biggest buzz? A huge jump you land perfectly and sail away from, a belting downwind run on the edge of control, carving the face of a wave to pieces or pulling out of a laydown gybe and sailing away planing?
I was thinking about it and I think horses for courses, everyone will be different. But damn, I love going fast.
getting close to pulling off a new move, then finally getting it, followed shortly after by the frustration of starting all over again with another
I think by far a perfect bottom to top turn combo. Very rare for me hahahhaa but when you get the wave hollow and pitching and fast, the G's you get as you do almost a 180deg direction change on the spot and the lip smacks the board back toward the beach. Nice :)
Getting planing on big gear in marginal conditions and to keep planing in between gusts
Getting 6 waves in a row, while the lone poler is still battling out to the horizon and back struggling to make ground upwind back to the take off point,
then he misses the set waves and has to battles out again, lol
Finally he gets a wave, and even though you have right of way, you wave him onto it, after all, you have had 15 waves and the poor old dudes been tacking non stop for 20mins.
Get a buzz knowing I have done a good deed for the day, like when I was young at scouts, getting a badge for helping an old lady across the road.
Then he asks you on the beach how much to buy kite gear is.
lol Which gives me even a bigger BUZZ knowing that I have helped him enjoy the waves more than he could ever have imagined.
PS.....
I love the colour red 
when i see kiters jump over me, they go so big its kinda scary but exciting at the same time
waves, bottom turn, hit a lip, fins let go, back of board slides, then you pull it together and do it all again.
Then again, the adrenalin rush of just going downwind and going fast is pretty good, worth all the tacking back upwind.
Then again, a good jump, looking down at all the gear below you and then landing.
Pretty good sport all round.
serious responses to what gives you the stoke - that's nice
and then the troll arrives ..... 
..... thats the buzz kill
Your right Mark, always waiting to be negative. Small man syndrome? small dick syndrome? No dick syndrome? Or just a bitter twisted retard who has no life??
OK, I know Ill cop it but at least we all know he is well adjusted. A HUGE chip on both shoulders.
Please stop talking and thinking about my dick
lol
Love how you guys go for personnel abuse and immature name calling, lol,
instead of attacking the ball.
duck jibe feels great.
but i have to say nailing the new trick you have been working on for ages.
Well it's changed a lot over the years. My first buzz was the very first time I hopped on a windsurfer, and managed to sail it to the other side of Dolphin pool.
The next big one was on my intermediate, hearing that dreaded rat a tat sound of a passing planning sailor, looked behind me to see who it was, and there was nobody there!!! The rat a tat was me! I was planning properly.
Then there was my first bottom turn at Pt Moore, and realising wave sailing was only a little bit different to surfing.
Then as I became more proficient in the waves, as others have said, stringing a pile of fast manoeuvres together, landing a long high jump very softly, powering up and hitting the next wave a second or 2 later and doing it all again.
Now it's more about getting GTC PBs and getting the Mandurah Mob up the ladder.
Screaming along on dead flat mirror smooth water, then pulling a high "G" gybe is especially nice.
Having a really ****ty day at work, getting down the beach and finding a nice consistent breeze all is golden after that

Yeah that sounds like me.
Did someone say he liked having guys above him?
Doing a fast nautical mile in the ocean - 2 minutes of shear terror and burning thighs. As firiebob says "eyes as big as dinner plates"
Oh and what Elmo said above.

Hallelujah
^^ Yes that's it. And that second or two of near weightlessness as you cross that large piece of swell at an angle.
(Haven't done too many lately, you can end up too far out to sea.)
not sure if this video will work, however.....

That's funny, that made me laugh.... great comments.
Sailing a new remote spot that's sharky. Not knowing how the place works and not having the luxury of a local guide. Gives me butterflies. All good fun though

Bearing off at speed on the edge of control is up there.
I do remember one high and almost vertical jump, being hit by a very strong gust as I landed and landing fully planing.
Screaming across the shallows at Primbee and spotting that cloud of spray coming at me from the west, ripping off the surface of the water. Knowing I'm on a collision coarse, and then making the decision - do I point it into the breeze, scrub off as much speed as possible and drop my arse in the water like a pussy? - do I continue straight ahead and try to control the uncontrollable tail walk I'm about to be slammed with? OR do I line up this sheet of water and wind, wait till we collide and send it as deep and fast as it will go, straight at the shore. Holding, Holding, Hoooolding to make it into the flattest, the fastest, the shallowest section! Just hanging on, Just hoping to crack a PB 38? 40? 42? 44kts??? then desperately trying to pull up before crashing into the bottom or whipping out on some random patch of chop. Sounds pretty stupid when I put it like that, but %$#@ ME ITS A BUZZ!
I like the feeling of satisfaction I get when I'm so dialed into my kit that i can predict exactly what a 1cm change in a setting will do to the performance of my setup. Nice feelin to be so in tune with your gear!

A couple of things.
Getting the thumbs up( the wifey) to sail for the whole day.
Turning up to Sanctuary point in a good noreaster
