There's your sign...
Signs you might be a power kiter...
you keep a set of kites and gear in your trunk at all times...
Your internet home page is Sailflow, windalert, pkf..
The rustling of leaves make you check your watch to see if you can leave work and go flying...
Any time your scheduling a trip out of town you check the destination for good flying spots BEFORE booking the flight...

You notice the wind blowing in the background of a TV show or movie and loose the plot and think about kiting.

Oh man you got me.
For the last several weeks I've been driving around with a buggy, a landboard, 3 small fixed bridle foils and a 7m depower foil in my trunk. I check
the forum and the weather constantly, and daydream about my last session day in and out.
I'm a powerkiter!

Get distracted while driving to analyze the fields on either side of you to determine their kiteability. Check for power lines, gauge wind direction,
incline, fences, natural obstacles, grass height, check for livestock & angry farmers...

I will start with... when your pkf name is shehatesmyhobbies .
I also do all of the above plus skim pkf about 20 times a day.
Also when your wife says I think its about time you get an enclosed trailer to keep all your wind toys in and get them out of the dining room.
I watch flags, trees, my local wind forecast, the tide charts for WW as well as call my kite buddies three or four times a day. My daughter calls them
my kite girlfriends. I eat sleep and drink over kite stories all day long.
I am a powerkiter and I love it!

I'm with Seanny,
I found myself driving along the motorway today, driving down through a sweeping broad valley with beautiful views in every direction, blue skies,
trees turning colour, birds migrating south for winter and the odd deep blue lake. And I'm thinking to myself, if I owned it all I'd flatten it and
sand it over.
I'm thinking the ultimate buggy theme park. People come from miles around and pay to get in.
My mind wanders when I drive. :D

I can't take my daughters to the park without being accused that I have ulterior motives for going to the park:
-"You took the kites with you, didn't you?"
-"No, I left them home today... there's no wind!"
