When you check the forecast and see green arrows.
Or brown arrows 
back in the 60's n 70's - the biggest buzz was from Hawaii and it was not windsurfing 
When a kiter, any kiter, won't give you the room you deserve, or right of way, so a non-verbal message needs to be given to him (usually a him).
Sailing right at him, a collision course, then baring off so that I'm just down wind, but still very close, avoiding a collision. But he'll have to raise his kite and lines almost strait up so they don't hit my rig, his kite stalls, falls out of the sky, and I just continue on by, sailing away smiling.
Almost as good a very hard bottom turn, followed by a slash off the lip with a tail slide.
Drag racing another proficient sailor who is on much much newer, speed oriented gear, and overtaking them, and still heading further upwind.
And sailing on the ****tiest, coldest, bumpiest day of winter in 25kts+ , when everyone else is huddled around the fire, and having an absolute ball.

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.
I'm with Snags on the joy of the flat-out ocean NM
And trying to pull off a decent top-turn/aerial on a nice wave

when i see kiters jump over me, they go so big its kinda scary but exciting at the same time
Dude likes big dicks.
There's so much about this sport that charges me up; nailing the exit of a gybe, watching someone else nail a sweet gybe, getting a PB on GPSTC, sailing with mates on a summer's sea breeze, getting a new 'toy', surviving a tail-walk/near-catapult, the chattering of a board in flat water at top speed and seeing new-comers to our sport.
Heading up to the lip and slashing the lip as hard as I can.
Or doing a far, low jump nice and floaty and overpowered, and then landing nose first at full speed - that's always a buzz. (catapult alert!)But generally just windsurfing is a buzz for me 
After trying many sports I still regarding windsurfing as my #1. It encompasses everything you could ever want. And unlike other sports, you still love it as long as you're planing, even if the waves suck. Whereas other sports, often when you get better, you find conditions need to be more perfect in order to get that good day.

That sums it up for me too!
Nicely put.
rolling up to the beach ready for a blast & greeted by a solid wind blowing .then going home after a good sesh with a grin & smile.nothing beats that.
I think the biggest buzz is having sponsorship from the greatest sail manufacturer with a great range of awesome sails. So thanks to Ben Severne and the team for making great gear!!!
(How was that, am I there yet, fellas?)

AMEN..
Feet are numb. Fingers cant grip.. body aches. the steamer is no longer warm and kiters sitting on the shore thinking about it..
The sound of "twissssssssssssshhhhhhhh" while the air plugs are being pulled on the kites because the wind has become too strong for them, leaving it all to us windsurfers....................... I love that sound.
