I think the term is 'wind wife', different varieties include 'kite-wife' and well in windsurfing its just wind wife.

I have the same issue with my missus hating me constantly talking about windsurfing, i've tried to teach her (and she's going okay), but apparently constantly talking about the sport, new gear, wind etc makes her start to hate it (when she likes it enough)

So i gather it's the same in the kiting world

If anyone finds an answer, please fill me in. It'd be much appreciated

Hey I've got one of those too, but she's a wind wife for all sorts of other reasons...In fact, I recon if you could harness the wind that comes outa both ends, we'd all be kiting 25knots 12months of the year

Start kiting!! Start kiting!!
Once the bug gets you, you will understand why he talks about it so much. I am the teryiaki chicken Jacq, boyfriend being the medic, & I admit I love watersports (or any sports of any kind) but I was intrigued as to why he lived & breathed this sport. So I took it up...now I have a brand new Airush DNA & can't stop watching kitin or reading about it or talking about it. Favourite female kiter is Gisela Pulido, she rips hardcore!
OR...
U could just find a topic that annoys your man & when he complains about u talking about it....hit him with the "deal"! U shut up if he does!
I would never do that to you Josh babe! Just so u know....I just speak multitudes of crap....but at least it is never silent round me![}:)]

LEX i hope you didnt message me when you were with your misses saying there was wind....

Ummm nar never haha, shes now living in newtown so its onlt a 20min drive from hers to botany,,,, gotta love it. She has a Damn windsurfer at her home but won't bring it to sydney. Im all the pole she needs.

LOL lex...

THIS is exactly why there are no females any higher than... 'good friend' status... if you catch my drift. It's so wonderful not having to worry about the constraint. Although it has got to the point where parents, best mates and the boss are beginning to despise my kiting addiction. I will drop anything to be there when the wind is blowing... the fickle mistress she is

Run from the commitment... run for the kite!

My partner has been kiting since April 2000 and was the only bloke in town at the time doing so.
I gave it a go back then, it wasn't for me, but still used to go down the beach and watch out for him, just incase he came unstuck. Though it was a real bore watching him go flat out down wind on a 6.5 metre, 2 line, Wipeka kite in a howling N Easterly, times have definately changed.

Instead of sitting at home, why not get out with your man, take your camera, a bottle of champagne and get creative. Really tease him too and take lots of cool beachy photos and not them showing off. That really anoys them when they want to have a look....

You never know, you may even get hooked on the sport. I love it now and have some great kiting/beach shots.
That is my contribution to the sport, which my partner just loves.
Hey, he even bought me a brand new camera, lenses, case, tri pod worth $5000. Well if they buy a kite, board or harness every year, I recon we should match their spending too.

All men need a hobby and kiting is a great, healthy way to go. It is better then them sitting in the pub or wasting money at the T.A.B.

Good luck chicken.
Regards Em.

You will always come 2nd to the wind, it never changes, you just have to accept it and spend half your life down the beach getting blown away.

........who the bloody hell let all you women out of the kitchen...?
