Just curious... if the wind always blew, and conditions were always good, how often would you kite?

first wake up early, kite then
eat brekfast, kite to work.
lunch break, skip lunch head to beach.
after work make an upwind run, then kite around by the car.
eat dinner, kite some more.

kite till i couldnt keep my eyes open!!!!
i do this often

I took a realistic approach for me. I am a very busy man, so I would be able to do it 2 to 3 times a week. This happened last summer, the week was really good for flying so I was able to get out there 2 or 3 times in a week .

I'd like to say "daily" and I would go during the week at lunch (normally fly sport kites or foils at lunch anyway) but between work and family and life, likely I'd only get out a couple times per week for a serious boarding session.

daily until it hurt!!!!!!!

DAILY :evil:

I almost play in the wind daily, i even pulled off quite a few trifectas this yr. That waking up before the sun going for a nice sail at sunrise till 10 am then drive to the beach and buggy and kitesurf till the sun goes down. Then back to the boat to anchor out for the night. Repeat!..................aj

i was serious, it has gone exactly like that a couple times. but mostly its about 2 or 3 times a day. i couldnt imagine missing a day of kiting. ask eli!!

I personally get out on average 5-6 times a week in the summer and 2-4 times a week in the winter so yup everyday if it didn't rain, and was blowing 5 kn plus.

thats what im talken about

i am daily now. condition's dependent ,

6days straight 3 sessions every 24hrs round the clock water /ATB. with some sessions 4hours long. ......and 4 1/2 days work with in that .... musta been a good week.

recently out of the last 7days ....i have had four fly days mostly on the water. about every 6-8hrs on the water i need aleast a day of rest.

the biggest chore ... wetsuit drying... only have one full and a shorty. i use a dehumidifer set up ...nice to have it dry.

once every couple of days. don't want to wear it out. I used to stay out on the water 5-7 hours without a break.

I'm pretty much over kite flying whenever it blows. 10 years of living next to the beach does that.

Well with a wife, two kids and a demanding job I don't get to kite as often as I would like..but having said that I still try to kite after work just before I pick up the kids (30-45mins). On Friday afternoons I can kite for about 1-1.5 hours. Then once a week (Sat or Sun)...I try to get out for half a day and either go the beach and kitesurf or El Mirage to board/buggy.

All depends on the wind which lately has been pretty crappy and nonexistent

Guess I can't complain but I'd be lying if reading about AJ 's and PR's sessions didn't get me a little jealous ;-)

i really think i am still in the "honey moon" phase of the sport,,can't get enough and anxious to learn more.

like sunrises and sunsets no matter how many you see ... no such thing as too many

The trouble up North is that the days are way too short in winter ! Work gets in the way.

In summer I find I can still only get out about 3 or 4 days a week. (no section for that many days on the list ? ) Life gets in the way !

I knew I was getting jaded the 1st day I passed on a good session just because I was feeling lazy. I hate myself on those days. I believe in living every day to the fullest !

In the last couple of months (4 - 5) I've been able to get out a total of maybe 8 times - that's 4 local days and 4 days driving to the beach (270 miles round trip) - it's been a finiky late summer early fall here in Nor Cal - The one thing it does do for me is to truly appreciate a good day - anything over 15mph - If I had wind everyday I think I would probably become somewhat complacent about getting out - which isn't a bad thing - at least then I could let my thoughts relax instead of constantly looking at trees, listening for the rustling of leaves and coming up with any lame excuse I can to dodge out of work to try and find just one day of wind.

Man, I don't think it could be said any better than that! I feel for ya bro. Alot of us here in nor cal feel the same.
