WOW, I know a guy like that. I couldn't deal with that type of wife. Mine is pretty independant, Italian too. Her grandmother is from Capri. I bet they have good kiting.

Sounds radical...
I would feel guilty if my girlfriend asks me if its ok to go out (because she can't judge it and relies on me) and then something happens. Bad feeling...
Diwight, I think you left out the last half of my post, the part that says "I love my wife,I respect my wife,My wife dose not want to kite, that life is good."
"Broken? disloacated? stressed?" I don't like to see my wife taking risks"? How exactly do you feel your situation is supeirior?

I was not trying to say anything about you and your wife. I just thought it was funny that I knew a guy with a wife like you describe. He has to rig her stuff for her. You said your wife doesn't kite, so that is why I left off the other part of your message. Does this make sense?

Re:

I dunno, she must've had some reson for moving to windy NC.
I agree though you can't beat them Tough Italian ladies.
One word of advice, never leave her, trample on her feelings or act the right bastard if you get me, or if you do go see a whitchdoctor straight after because over here they have this thing called "Ti mando un accidente" which means I'll send an accident your way, and it works too.
Two years ago I decided to leave my gal after she'd taken on me 3 kids, a mad scot and a psychopatic x buzzing around like a loopy queen bee, anyway I shit on her feelings, broke her heart as we guys do every now and then, and she sent me that accident. About one week after I started thinking with me dick it arrived in the shape of a 180km/h full frontal on me motorbike, caved the petrol tank in with me balls and spent 3 months in bed goin' ouch.
Well, after a kick in the nuts like that I learnt my leason, she forgave me and we are really happy now.
Btw scots must have high tensile steel balls 'cause everythin's still where it should be.
So, respect and be nice to your girls especially the tough Italian ones.
OJ

I will tell my wife to read your message. That’s a funny story. We both moved to NC in search of better wind. Life is too short to live where the wind doesn’t blow. We’ve been chasing wind our whole lives.

Your girl doesn't have to like kitesurfing to enjoy going to the beach. Mine is always saying "kiting sucks, but a sunset and an apree-kite drink is great; or kiting sucks but beach barbeques are great; or kiting sucks, but catching rays is great;" or I'm sure if we lived in GA it would be "kiting sucks, but reggea partys are hellacool."

WOW you all seem to have pretty understanding girlfriends your lucky. my girlfriend hates me spending so much time kiting. Last week I had to give my girlfriend money to go shopping so that i could sneak out and going kiting. But on a different note most of you are forgetting the 2 most important things.

1. if your girlfriend is out kiting who will have the food and the warm whiskies ready when you go home. (especially needed in these cold winter months.

2.How long would it be before she has got you flying a pink kite with a big heart saying how much you love each other.

If your girl gives you shit over kiting it might be because you can be more passionate over a traction kite than over her.
If the wind's up no dice, but on a no wind day and at night, show her you can be just as passionate with her
