You know your too old for kiteboarding when.......

You know your getting too old for kiteboarding when.........

a) Your kite sizes are getting smaller and your boards are getting bigger.
b) Your orthopaedic surgeon advices you need a double knee replacement.
c) Never

When your Zimmer-Fame keeps bogging down in the sand.

When you keep babbling on about how young kids had respect for people who did DEADMEN in your day.

When you obey all road rules on the way to the beach.

You ask the council to put a handicap parking space at the most convenient place at your local spot.

.....when it's blowing a solid 20kts, but you're having trouble tearing yourself away from the lawn bowls championships on the telly.

.....when you can't kite choppy water 'cause it makes your false teeth fall out.

.....when you start wondering how to fit flotation to your false teeth, just in case they fall out when you're on the water.

.....when you only go to the beach at low tide, 'cause your wheelie-walker is too hard to push through the dry sand at the top of the beach.

.....when you thought SLE was an auto-immune disorder and a BOW was something to do with archery.

.....when you buy an electric pump, 'cause your back's too sore to pump up your kite by hand.

.....when you have to wear so many knee/ankle/elbow/etc supports that you have to go up 2 kite sizes to handle the extra weight.

.....when you only kite high tide, 'cause your knees hurt too much if you have to walk to the water line at low tide.

.....when you do a half hour flat water session with no jumps, but you have to soak in a hot bath for 2 hours afterwards to recover.

.....when you turn up at the beach at the same time as everyone else, but after they're all on the water you're still trying to remember which way up your bar goes when you're laying your lines out.

.....when you have to use so much Deep Heat® after a decent session that you wind up with chemical burns in your eyes/nose from the fumes.

.....when you pack up early, even though it's blowing a solid 20kts on a perfect tide, just to make sure you don't miss 'eyes down' at Bingo tonight.

lmao getfunky

When you keep forgetting that you've already clicked this link.

When you invent a power assisted bar.

When you are more interested of your brand new kite, than the topless chic, sunbathing 5 meters from you

You can see that far now and tell the difference between chic or chap

You ask people to implement new right of way rules for people with hearing aids.

.....when you decide to complain to the SeaSpecs people because they don't do bi-focal models.
