1. Nothing is more important than wanting to be on the water

There is one thing that makes you really really happy… being on the water, getting some salt in your hair and having that feeling that you get while you are riding.

2. You start getting crazy when there is no wind for more than 2 days

Ok, fine it’s not windy today so I will enjoy today for relaxing and having a little rest as my body needs some time off the water…

… A second day with no wind? I’m going to see a bit of the local area, maybe do a bit of yoga and at least trying to amuse myself until tomorrow.

What?! Is it still not windy tomorrow? What’s wrong with this place?!! I’m going insane!

3. You suffer from ‘one last tack syndrome’

It has been already 3 hours that you are on the water and it has been already half an hour that you told to yourself your going to stop …but ‘just, the last tack, the last trick and I’m stopping’…

4. You wear Bikinis more than Bras

Why should I wear my bras when I have a giant collection of bikini tops that I love and match perfectly with my loose tank tops?!

(To all the boys reading this, feel free to replace with “You spend your life in board-shorts”).

(To all those in cold climates reading this, feel free to replace with “neoprene is like my second skin”).

5. You always have WindGuru open on your laptop or at work

You never know… the conditions can change so quickly! Better check to be sure you are not missing any potential sessions.

6. Everything you own is filled with sand

I just swept floor and it’s again full of sand! All my shoes are too and I even find sand in bed… but I don’t care I love it anyway.

7. You already thought about quitting everything to travel the world and kite everyday

I know I can’t leave my job, I need it but damn, would be nice to quit everything for couples of months at least?!

8. You couldn’t live with someone who doesn’t share your kitesurfing obession

Ok we tried to work it out together but if you still don’t understand that kitesurfing is my priority then maybe you should leave…

9. You dreams are full of landing new tricks

I finally did it! OMG it’s so good, I landed it… yes it was during my sleep but now I visualised the motion I’m sure I can do it tomorrow!

10. You drive for hours to find wind over 12 knots

There is no way that there is no place in the country without wind this weekend…

I may have to drive 4 hours there and 4 hours back but if Windguru says that there is a tiny little chance of 13 knots between 2pm and 4pm, I’m gonna go for it!
