Day 44 of the 2015 season: Linwood/Hoyle's finally lites up for me - near epic conditions

TOW:   Kiteboarded from 11:00-4:00, 3 sessions in that time frame
Gear:   11M 150/-140 board
Water Conditions:   From OBX style to butter paradise conditions
Weather:  Bluebird day near 70 degrees
Wind:  Peaking near 25 from the NE-ENE
Highlight: Kiteboarding - the best spot for easy access to butter smooth water
Schooled:   Boosts and deep dish carving in the butter
Nearby wind data



A near epic day brought on by a perfect wind direction and a great venue.
Met Bob Hoffman and he showed me the ins and outs of the weeds and slicks.
Arrived at 10:30 and immediately rigged the 11M and headed out on the 150 board.
Great first session with the 150 board which eventually was to big of board, came in and took a break.
I Watched as Bob tore up the inside slicks. I headed back out in bigger winds and a smaller board. Followed Bob around and learned the ins and outs of the weed beds and slicks.
Had a riot in that butter, slapping high 5s with Bob as we wizzed by each other.
Had 4 hours on the water and every moment was fantastic.
