This Post is conceived genuinely to help our fellow kiters of a lesser imagination get more time on the water

Let it Rip

Never had to. You've got it arranged all wrong if you have to lie.

i just say "see ya later, the wind's up." everyone in my life is used to it by now.
i work for myself, and every jobsite i go to i tell them my hours are 7am to 17 knots. tools down when its windy, no exceptions.

stamp said... i tell them my hours are 7am to 17 knots. .

thats awesome, i wonder what the union will say if i request for them to push for those hours for me

i only get away with it because i'm in a remote area where there are only a few tradies available. there is noone here to step up and take my place when i go to the beach.
i don't think it would work in a big town!

Once while out getting lunch, saw it was pumpin, rang work - said i had a flat & RAC said a couple of hours till they arrived

Jumped into a telephone box & changed into " KITESURFERMAN "

I was out there with a flash - best 2 hours of work eva, got back just in time to finish work

Sometimes it pays to carry a 'spare' in the boot in case of emergency

I dont lie to go kiting. I just say I'm going, and if noone likes it, too bad.

Sometimes it's good to call RAC for a tyre change. Like on a rally busy street, could be too dangerous. Apart from that do it yourself then, took me 15mins last night in the pitch black.

I wouldn't say I lie exactly, just more of not quite telling the truth. I am lucky to be out and about on the road a lot with my job and so my week often gets arranged around the wind forecast. It's funny how I can always organise my day so I am in the best kiting spots with a free afternoon when the wind is up. Of course if my boss asks, I'm out with clients or suppliers...!

Hey Kiter790-1

Does that mean youve never ever looked at your favourite wind tell tale tree and thought Bugga this The Wind is calling my name its now or never -

Or will i just keep my goodie 2 shoes butt to the mundaine without impulse
or the real fire that burns inside the kiter whos fun becomes addiction - then possession & sometimes controlled by the little voices in their head known as Wind Demons

Or you have no job & partner - we understand you now [}:)]

[}:)][}:)] we need to Exorcise ELnino from U [}:)][}:)]

I don't have kids. They are the only people who require you to actually be there, unless you are a flight controller....adults can be left alone for a few hours without painting the walls or bashing their sister. Unless you live in Maroubra, of course.....

I took the day off because my daughters pet hamster died. BUried it then went to cleethorpes beach for 8 hours to "mourn".

Any excuse is what I say.

Skid ha frigin haaaa

Ive told my misses i love her more than kiteboarding

'Darling, Kenya will be a great place for our Honeymoon, there's big pussy cats for you to see and lovely resorts and beauty treatments and all sorts of girly stuff, and I can go kiting a little bit too.'

Geez did that back fire on me - it only blew one day and I was reduced to lolling by the pool and honeymoon massages from large African women.

I think she did because she said "oh look its windy & you can go kiteing!"

But I dont understand why the front door key doesnt work anymore
Not all was lost though, I have my three kites & board in the boot

Ben DJ

ahhh lol savethewhales!... Some girls just think they can change a guy.... At least you could keep what mattered in the end

ahhh don't they realize that kiting is an addiction! Soon we will have KSA meetings (Kite Surfers Anonymous)... oh how I look forward to that!

Savethewhales,

haha lost my tan!? What the =S lol

Yes K.S.A.... -->> Definitely a Secret Guild to begin with!

Late for me!? Yes. But I'm not sleeping until tomorrow night (welll tonight like 9pm) to get out of my bad sleeping pattern!!!

haha life quotes or analogies... The best I can do with that, totoally unrelated to maths or engineering lol, is that its to do with your transition from one stage of your life to another!? Unsure of where you're going, what you're doing and who you are.!?

lol

D,

haha I think that the only way that might be considered a MUST to adhere to is if you're married; even then, an appearance at the Birthday for an hour should be sufficient enough if she isn't far from the beach!

Good reasoning I think... hmmm I wonder why girls don't like the way I think!? LOL

On the lines of this topic... Telling work that they've moved the tutorial/ lecture from say 10-1 Monday to 2-5 Monday! Perfect for a Nly! haha... Depends when the tutor is sick or what class I had to move into! No complaints now; uni is only 2 hours a week [}:)]

haha yeah the Avatar pic was taken around April this year; I hadn't kited for a solid year previous apart from a few times! See right there... NEVER date a non-kiter lol ... Only ends in white skin and no kiting LOL

Sweet. KSA membership growing...

haha soon lozza will have to have a new forum for it!
