How to manage the addiction

[Syruss]

Just wondering how you all survive the kite addiction.

This weekend was the first time I have been able to get over to the coast to fly and now I have that bug again! I had some extra time built up at work and I was hoping to comp it and get some flyin in this afternoon. But if there is any wind at all it is just a Gnat farting in passing.

Really Depressing!

Unfortunately here in Medford Oregon there are not many good places to fly, nor is there decent wind consistently so what am I to do during my down time?

I know a lot of you get to fly more often but what do you do when it is raining, or just no wind?

I have a couple of ultralight dual line kites but I really am not adept enough to fly them in truly no wind conditions and there are not any flyers close by to learn from, so most of what I pick up is over at the coast.

I am learning to fly my Rev and think that is by far the most addicting, once I get the 2 wrap and 3 wrap frames hopefully that will give me more range to fly in, but till then I am still stuck.

So what do you do when there is no kiting to be had??

I just try to catch up on the things I have neglected- yard -house that kind of thing.It is worse when there is wind and your flying field is full of people ARG .

I carry a bag in my car all the time with about 8 kites, for all different conditions. It's always great to find a new spot to fly.

When do I fly? *input evil crazy laugh here*

Since school started, I've flown almost every day. After school, I go to the park across the street and get out my vented B-Series, std 1.5 (both with anywhere from race rods to 4 wrap) and my rev Indoor, if the wind is totally FLAT. If it's raining but there's wind, I bring a hood. If it's raining, there's no wind, there's lightening, thunder, and falling animals, I go fly in my school gym.

Am I addicted? Nope

I'm reving up Spokane WA!!!!!

I fly whenever I can, as often as possible. I like to video my flying and watch it back to see what needs to be improved. Usually everything So when I can't fly, I like to edit and work on the videos. Adding music, just playing around.

I simply feed the addiction, as much as I possibly can. Its much easier than fighting it ;-)

That being said though, I'm blessed with living near one of the prettiest flying fields in the world, so, that helps. Nice, ocean winds.
