I've been thinking of starting a support group.

Holding meetings every weekend (preferably somewhere the bay cannot be seen) where down & out kiters can express their woes to people that do really understand (Unlike those workmates and family members that don't kite).

Alternately:

Rumour has it, someone has a key to the indoor swimming complex... it would make a great venue for after hours winch (kicker/slider) parties.

Who the hell am I kidding...where's my medication

I think you need some psychiatric help shackle boy. Are you sure your not an Emu/Emo whatever?

Nice find junglist SWEET
I especially like this bit :

Now that sounds like one nifty toy.
Maybe 07 will be the year of the Carbon AAPFC Bar revolution.

Hey, T

Laurel & Hardy have got nothing on me & the gal, mate.

Just think you could have packed in the day job and spent the rest of your days in Fiji

Ah well, maybe next time

you guys have got it ALL wrong...

what's depressing is when it's your first season kiting, & after all the lessons, after sitting on the beach for hours cause there's either not enough wind or there's too much wind for your newbie backside, then, just as it comes together for you, when you can get up on the board & stay up, you can do some downwinders, you can actually say "i'm kiting", and then, THE FREAKIN' SEASON ENDS!!!!!

THAT IS DEPRESSING...

Azza,

whilst i appreciate your sympathies, no amount of pills (or pils for that matter!!)is going to take away the depression...at least until season 06/07 starts...i was just starting to have fun mate, and now the fun's gone away!!

So Dr. Azza, what do you suggest or prescribe to this very unhappy newbie? I await your suggestions.

Juddy

Well Junglist,

it's going to be a long wait for a decent sea breeze here - otherwise it's a trip up north in July/August for some decent wind & weather...roll on summer...

"You know you’re depressed when…………"

the highlight of your day was... pressing the "Power" button on the transmission of your kite sized luxury stationwagon, cranking up the J's on the stereo, and laying some rubber on the way to work.[}:)]

Dear Dr Azza,

thanks for the prescription. In the past i've had a problem with self medicating with those boxes of 24 Pils. i've even tried several different types of Pils but to no effect. I still get stuck on Pils. What do you recommend?

In the mean time, i need more Pils. There is SFA wind in Perth at the moment...not even enough to get my Peel 3.6 up in the air...wind or Pils? please help...

your patient patient

Juddy

Dear Dr Azza,

As long as there is no breeze in Perth, i would suggest holding off your house visit...(well, some lucky barrstarrds are kiting on the river right now).

I appreciate your concerns & advice & would be more than happy to show rate, quantity, and quality of the Pils consumed upon your arrival.(Do you bring hottie Nurses with you when you do house visits?)

If you & your entourage leave ?? now, you might make it in time for some decent winds...

regards,
cough,cough,splutter,

your patient...
Juddy

Dear Dr,

forget Nurse Ratched. My condition requires Nurse Debbie & her colleague Nurse Foxy...i feel so poorly, i think i need both their specialist attention(s)

As for breeze, or 'wind' as you put it, I think there is more "wind" on seabreeze (especially hot air) than Perth is currently experiencing.

It all lends itself to having to self medicate Dr. I think i'm developing a problem with Pils. Should i continue to self medicate or is there a 24 pack that you recommend?

Whilst the camel is packed, it may help my recovery if you sacrificed a virgin or two to Hui & pray that sends us enough wind or breeze to make a trip to the water worthwhile...

until Pils, Debbie & Foxy, or a decent breeze,

i remain your patient,

cough cough

Juddy.

Dear Dr Azza,

i know i'm a sick puppy, but who the hell is puppet talking about? i'm really lost now.

cough cough...

When its been 11 weeks since you last kited because you smashed up your ankle and another 4 weeks before you can even work again let alone kite, AND you have to read how everyones upset because they havent kited for a week. Tissue anyone? You lucky buggers!
Still, I feel pretty lucky compared to that poor fella Laurie laid up in a hospital in Melbourne!
