who doesn't? If it wasn't for daylight savings being voted down, there'd be a lot more time to kite after work.
ah we live in a backward old place.

i only kite when there is wind...

(it gets very frustrating)

yeah, it's when you get truly addicted, that you loose sense of rational judgement on when it's ok to leave work to go kiting... and when you see the leaves moving on trees and the adrenaline kicks in you loose sense of responsibility towards keeping your job... i just hope there aren't any addicted Surgeon kiters, or Pilots...

but if you are not at that stage yet, you can always try
"i've got family emergency gotta leave early", or
"my wife is ill, gotta pickup kids from school", or
"i have terrible headache, gotta go", or
"got appointment with a trady to install new A/C",
and the list goes on...

(just keep a log of which excuses you already used )

yep, you're not the only one . I tend to work back when there's no wind and get off earlier when it's on, only prob is there always seems to be something come up when it's pumping.

Checking the wind now on the east coast ENE 14knts, what a tease! For those with a desk job swellnet has a pretty good task bar app for current wind/swell and customisable alerts when certain conditions are reached.

Try being able to see it from your desk at work.....Yeah yeah I know its a bit of a whinge since I can see the water from the office but when the kites come out its murder!

28 days on and 9 days off has done wonders for my progression

3 year plateau and counting

I hear ya honey. It's been ball busting lately and I had to verbally biatch slap my boss today (really). Still didn't get to kite tho so it wasn't even enjoyable taking the tossbag apart.

One kn powerball and I am following the breezes forever.

Still seems tres flaky on the west coast most day to me tho so hopefully chrissy hols will be crankin.

Jeesoos Crikey allmighty - do I miss DLS. I'd love to kick every tool that voted it down right in the jewels.[}:)]

Best of luck gettin some breeze fellas.

10pm posting funkster, I trust you're still at work.
BTW I had a 3-4pm sesh before a clients xmas drinks, I can't see why you'd want DLS and have to waiit an extra hour for the SB to arrive.

You're lucky. I don't even have a window! But I do get to travel via Botany Bay every afternoon on my way home so if there's wind I can get a kite session in.

Working this weekend and no wind forecast so don't feel too bad!

I drive in to gridlock at around 07:30 for a 08:00 start, then spend all day counting down the hours to 16:00hrs gridlock. Pay tolls every couple Kms to wait in gridlock.

Average speed = 12kmh
Average cost per 1km = $0.20

If I get to the beach (17:20) and there's no wind, I'm about ready to slit my wrists.
If there's wind, all is good and I take the gamble another day.

I take no lunch break and say I'm working from home when I leave.

BoneDoc: It's looking good today.

Have you considered working remotely?

I used to work & kite but kiting got seriously in the way.
Something had to give..........
Im still kiting

but even when you dont have to work everday no DLS still sucks.

FlySurfer, not where I am at. So much more relaxed at work when there is no wind!
