mr_rix23 Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 I'm not sure obsession is a strong enough word, when you have to steal old lady's pensions to fund your kite habbit and start lying to your loved ones about where you've been. It's a couple of spaces above obsession!! n.b not that i do that but you know who you are;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsPablo Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Okay so I thought oh this looks like fun,, I can spend the day with hubby while he flies and we can have a picnic on the beach and relax............then he let me fly the kite......still think sure this is nice hubbys holding me in place not so bad it's fun..........then he let go and I discovered true power, the kind that gets the adrenilen pumping, and I am addicted!

leek74 Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 obsessedi will check the wind every day, even if i'm not planning on going out just in case i can escape for an hour. i have got up at 5, driven 2 hours, flown 2 hours then driven back to take the missus out, just to get some clean wind, and thats not to mention the times i have driven down only to find out all the forcasts were wrong.

Dynamic Duo Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I'd say obsession without a doubt... Checking the weather is a daily ritual, looking out the window checkin the trees, which way the sea gulls are facing while there chillin on the football field (sad or what!) They always face into the wind, i did'nt know that before i started kiting. I guess its so they dont ruffle there feathers. Argggh, i need to get out but 3mph wind just now dos'nt do it for me:mad: . Obsession..........? Yes because Rach is forever tellin me that:rolleyes: . But i thought all this was normal;) John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xender Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Im definatley an Addict. I miss days of lectures to go out kiting, I dont do the coureswork in for the next day go kiting, get deprresion if theres no wind for more than 2 days. I need a fix i have only been out 6 times over the last 4 days need more i need it. Why cant you get patches to help ease the suffering when you cant fly just so i can finish a small piece of coureswork or do a tiny little bit of revision. Nope all i can do is look out my window and imagine flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I am probaly near divorce, I have been out for 8 hours solid before, if there is no wind I will sit and wait!, if I am at home I will search ebay or download kite vids (over 40 now) and am currently putting them together with a movie editor for a hugh long video! The rest of the time I read kite mags and sit at work day dreaming about the right moves and what to do with the bar etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

songalolo1 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 The numbers speak for themselves I guess, only reason I am not out flying my kite is because I am working so that I can buy my next kite :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Mark me down as another obsessed kiter. If you can't get a fix when theres no wind, just go and get an indoor kite:D It's quite funny when the other kiters are moaning that theres not enough wind, and I say that there's too much for the indoor kite:D Now with the indoor kite, I can kite from about 90% of the time to 95% of the time. Well worth the money for that 5% flying time:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Is it bad when you're already planning out the next three kites you plan on buying when the wife's not looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewing Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Is it bad when you're already planning out the next three kites you plan on buying when the wife's not looking? no, that's normal. she can & will find out about them eventually... just don't let her know about the bank you'll have to rob to finance them all.
