Heres the solution.
Live in some of the best kiting locations WA has to offer.
3 years in Shark Bay, a year in sunny Exmouth and then move to the next location which will be Lancelin next month.
Organise your job around your lifestyle which is right next to the beach. Have a sensational partner who loves the beach and BINGO, kite every day.
If your on the beach its not difficult to duck off for a couple hours and kite, surf, fish, etc.
Its all about the lifestyle, good luck.

man im so relieved Im not the only one out there having to juggle life around water time. Between the family, renos and work its all about balance and brownie points.This season just gone was all about squeezing in an hour of water time here and there,and even tho short sessions I managed to get out pretty much every day. and I think my loved one has finally realised what a happier person I am if I get out there when its blowing.STOKED!!

Try telling her that all the guys at the beach had a debate on who's missus was the most understanding, and that you had to stay later because she made it to the semifinals

Hey Greenpat.......at the time of your offer I did have prior commitments which have now been washed away with the tide and right now I'm extremely happy and content doing my own thing and being single . . . . . . I'm on vacation from relationshipville for a while haha!!

Anyhow, I should probably clairfy why I put this thread on. Over the past few months I've been in contact with several surfing mums in Queensland, California and LA who have inspired both Terri and I to see if it might be something we can encourage and support in the kiting world.

This kind of social, sporting group would not only offer support to the kiting mums, but possibly to those who don't kite but their partners do......they will have a group to socialise with at the beach whilst the other is on the water, if they want to. Our list of female kiters now covers all of Oz, NZ, France, Dubai, UK and LA......quite a few of these being mums or mums to be.

So this thread was to find out how everyone copes with having a kiting or non-kiting partner to see if our idea could work.

I'm single and there is only one reason for it. I'm active and sporty finding a girl who really enjoys the same life style is hard. maybe one day, No green card needed

haahhah, are you sure thats the only reason?

If you stalk somebody long enough then they "become" your partner... After the third court appearance she finally said "yes" for a date.

I know a guy who "stalked" a friend of mine for several months....she gave in and they've been together ever since. Not sure what would happen if she broke up with him though considering the kind of persistence he had just to get her !

What the?? Umm did warning bells not go off for her at any stage? Geez that sounds like a 'fake your own death to leave the relationship' job.

I once went out a bit with a girl I worked with occassionaly. It didn't work out and I tried to gently ease away and she turned into the biggest bunny boiler I have yet experienced!! She not only stalked me but also, some months later another girl I was dating!! It was so bad that she was eventually threatened with the sack and backed off a bit. Back in 93' when I contacted the dohnut munching police to find a course of action they basically had a good laugh amongst themselves . Stalkers male and female are not to be messed with.

Lesson learnt - anyone who throws themselves 200% into another's life from the 1st snog is usually going to be a threat to life and limb at some stage

A mate from uni once gave me sagely advice also when working with cute dancers on a production - "don't screw the crew". Very hard to avoid someone at work after the rumpy pumpy ends...

two kids at home and a redhead wife who hates being in the summer sun.. means it's all about the balance. Good tip no 1 ; I bought a cheap $20 water proof watch which I can wear while kiting .. now I always know if I have to head home, or better yet if I've still got time to kite. Nothing worse than packing up too early, racing home from a blistering session and she says
"what are you doing here" when you walk in the door.
I also changed jobs - knock off time 3.00
and make a big effort to do something 'special ' in the hours when there's no wind ie. breakfast in the park or mind the kids so she can do some thing by herself.
my boys are ages 4 and 6 and they already know that they'll be kitesurfing when they're old enough. ( how old can you start to learn...?)
