Hi my name is Ben and I am a kiteoholic, this is my story:
Once upon a time I knew nothing of kitesurfing, ignorant of the wind and its possibilities... lived in mountains and had no heart for the sea...
I moved to Greece where the Meltemi blows the summer days away drunk my weight away and was enabled in the dark art of mastering winds aplenty.
Then enabling others... i then tried surviving without it living inland, looking out the window behind my desk for any breeze,
For the wind to call my name again. I dreamed of it and nothing had any taste as sweet as a windy hot day spent on a 9 cruising the seas...
Got dumped by my sweet booty as my head was away in latitudes unknown looking forward to the next spot with constant breeze.
Not minding, envisaging being in any place called home for my heart for earthly pleasures was dead... I had a career but it meant none so that too was gone.
Picked up my bag and traveled again, Africa, Australia. I've lost myself in my demise from promising beginnings to looking desperately at forecast on Seabreeze.
Wondering when will hit the next squall, chatting nonsense and gear waiting for the wind to arise and in its glorious mercy embrace me in it's loving arms.
it's so bad the addiction it must be terminal, never have I in anything, been so lyrical.
Just wait till you try windsurfing, you want to kill yourself just looking at the price of the gear. 
Too much wine and not enough wind I reckon Ben!
Did you get out yesterday? It was honking up here at horrocks... 3 kites and a windsurfer out, the most crowded I have seen it! It was good to have some company.
I think we all have given up some things for kitesurfing... Makes us junkies when you forget all social important stuff when there is wind or broken the piggy bank for another piece of gear... 
I bought myself a nice grunty and fast bike to take to the hills in the non windy times, its an absolute blast.....But, if its a fine day, great for a ride, and windy, I'll go the kite every time!
)
I woke up at 6am to try to get out today after a week missing out on the wind but fell back asleep immediately... I think my addiction to sleep may be stronger than to kitesurfing... You guys in WA are so lucky, sadly when my 2nd Working holiday visa expires I will no longer be able to stay... I will be very sad then... but it will be after the end of the world this december... so might get a few more good days til then, going over and out with a bang!
