Just curious to see whats the average amount of time people stay out for.
Im pretty buggered after about an hour and have pretty much used up all my energy. If the wind is still there after my break then I might head out for a bit more.

2-4 hour most of the time, any longer and I find I make stupid mistakes and get annoyed easily.

after stupid mistakes its time to stop unhooking start kite loops, massive fast transitions and old school tricks.
Keeping my tricks fresh keeps my mind fresh

2 hrs. Due to work and family commitments.

Other wise I would lurk at the beach like a troll under a bridge and kite until I bleed and then kite some more.

This is beginning to sound a bit like a 'shoe box in the middle of the road" story!! LOL Ok - after about 2 hrs I'm beginning to wonder about the exponential burning of hard earned brownie points .........

I know I pee in the lake, and there's dead fish, birds, dogs, pigs, and people floating around so a bit longer than 5 mins

As long as I can.

On a good day, don't want to come in.

But its true the mind goes before the body, into stupid mistakes territory.

Stupid mistake territory is when the body is getting tired.

Hahahaha.... though I suspect theses dudes are pretty chilled out. Can't really imagine an angry dude swearing a cursing when he draws his art...

Now think of the positives...... takes a long time to draw some art in the sand..... every day the sea comes along and wipes it clean for another go.... Could keep the missis entertained for months. Perhaps she would start nagging you "can we go to the beach? can weeeeeeee??", you " oh ok, but your'l owe me one!"

Single, renting: 4-6 hours on Sat/Sunday, 2-2.5 hours on weeknights
Married, Bought house: 1-2 hours on Sat/Sunday, 0-0.5 hours on weeknights
Married, Bought house, Kids: 15 minutes, once a month.

Defacto, bought house, No kids: unlimited kiting

I have a POWER HOUR and then 2 hours of "I should not have done that" and "that kiteloop was way too late" and "Hope the missus dosent see that bruise" and the allways inevitable "F@!$ that hurt".
