After considering the funny side of these 2 incidents this morning I thought this thread may make for some interesting reading 
whats yours 
YOU KNOW YOU ARE ADDICTED WHEN ...
... you twist your ankle on a loose brick and your 1st & only thought through that exruciating pain is "God I hope this gets better before the breeze kicks in"
... your neighbour rings to say your house alarm just went off and the panic subsides 2 seconds later when you realise you have all your kite gear with you in the car

or you organise your work roster around the days forecast !
or you plan your next child during the off season !
yeah I'm addicted pitty the wife is'nt 
then theres this one that got a huge laugh on the beach a while back.
... the drop-dead gorgeous new blond in accounts asks you if you would like to join her for a drink after work and as you think of all those little green arrows you cant believe its your voice actually saying "Aargh sorry I'm a bit busy this avo" 
"He who enjoys most - WINS"
you crash your car into a pole straining to look if anyone is out at your spot
first thing you do when you awake and at 10 min intervals following is check the wind
when the extent of your conversation is wind direction, recent moves and the best gear available on the market
family holidays are planned to kiting destinations during the on season
Yep i'm fully addicted but unfortunatly my wife isn't and am working on my daughter

-you skip uni lectures when its windy, knowing that they are recorded and available on the net (sweet as)

your off uni, taking a break from work, have all the gear in the car ready to and you are stuck at home waiting, watching fireaway for the 5000 time because there is no wind. is this huey's idea of a bad joke??? it is december isn't it?
bring on the wind or fireaway 2...whichever happens sooner
you knock off work after a 12hour shift and drive 600ks to get home because tomorrows forcast looks good.
... you get yourself sorted with an IT phone just so you can check the other beaches out on seabreeze.com while you are sitting on one waiting for the wind --- AGAIN

..you're at a barbie/wedding/.. and you start to get "edgy" and have trouble focusing on conversations as you notice the leaves on trees start moving..
You just moved to sunny Perth, have been out there kitesurfing more in 3 months than in a year in Europe, and still, everytime that arrow turns green, you just have to be out there.
You move all the way across the country, alone, to a place where you know barely anyone, and leave everything and everyone you've ever known behind: for better wind.

....when you are at your mate's stag and your asking the stripper where she got her interesting body jewellery because you can adapt it to a new quick release you've been working on !!!
Is that the same as being at a strip club and wondering if the strippers kiteboard to keep fit?
...and if so, where, and do they kiteboard nude?...

Or skipping the strip club completely because the wind maybe blowing a little bit, maybe...?
