Yes this is good my friend . You have completed the first step as a recovering kiteaholic
1) we admited we were powerless over our kite and our downwinders have become overly obsessive .
Now you just need to hang in there and work on step two .
2) came to believe that a strong prevailing wind could restore our sanity .
And next you will work with your sponcer on ..
3) we made a desision to turn our kites and our boards upwind over to the power of a strong gust as we understood it .
As a fellow addicted new Kiter I share your pain bro ...

here's a LongForm story Playing Docs Games about chasing peaks on the shifting sands near San Fran... you can draw a lot of analogies here. Read it while you're waiting for the wind or tides to line up.
“It’s such a great sport it corrupts people. It’s like drug addiction. You just don’t want to do anything else. You don’t want to go to work. If you do, it’s always ‘You really missed it’ when you get off.”

I listed my 12m RPM in the classifieds today (one of seven kites, three of which I utterly destroyed while learning, but can't get rid of.). I resisted an invitation from a fellow kiter to go two blocks to the river in optimal conditions to ride. I could see the white caps as i'm saying no! I'm already regretting my decissions. I was planning on going one month without kiteboarding. I'm now thinking two weeks. I've never had an addiction. But I think I'm a kiteaholic. On a zero pressure day I still check the wind speed. While on a job that has no end in site I check the wind. Maybe I should sober up this winter. But sunset to shipwreck has such an appeal in the winter with bigger waves and all. Am I alone? |
you lost me at "I didnt kite today" |
