Transitions...


The transition from winter to summer...It's killing me just got back from Hood River and need another fix man! Just one more session! Give me a good windy day and I will make it I promise!!! I can quit anytime I swear!!! Winter stuff has been put away and now the water is calling!!! I can feel my arms twitch when the wind blows I make turning motions without knowing it!!! I find myself standing in riding stance daydreaming about getting out there... I hear "Hey did you hear me??? Are you even listening???" all the time!! I love being addicted to endorphins it feels soo good! Just living a shell until my next fix...

I thought you were posting about kitesurfing transitions - change in direction. Should be entitled wind junkie needs a fix. Right there with you after working two weeks in windy Aberdeen Scotland without my gear. I really need to set aside time from work next trip. Work just gets in the way.

I too, have dreamed the wind was blowing, as I popped out of bed to look out the window to find a calm quiet night.

Hey AD, man you really get around!
I hope you and Flexi come up for SOBB again this year

Mood: destined to die of sudden impact, not boredom

You're not alone. There are chronic kiters all over the world dreaming and day dreaming about the last/next big session/new trick/ kite girl/ etc.

However, the worst feeling is ..... the broken promise. Today the forecast was for S25-30 knots (perfect)and it showed up in the city, but at the beach 30 minutes away there was ........ 8knots! Talk about taking the wind out of your sails. Damn.
