It depends on your weight, board and skill a lot. If you're around the 80-85kg mark I'd suggest the 13.

Hi CK. As the other dude said, depends entirely on your skill/weight/board/etc. What are your 'stats'?

Xmas is usually a bit of a mixed bag....everything from northerlies to south-easterlies.

Thanks guys for the replies. I am 83 kg and have 4 boards. An old Stonker 137 I leave in Bris at my mum's place for holidays but now in Dubai I use Nobile666's - for light wind the 139x46 EXT and the 129x39 for the strong days. Also have a Cyclone Destroyer surf board but believe the waves are a little little in HB ;)

Dude are you kidding? We got awesome surf here.....if you happen to be a duck maybe Ripple riding is about the best you can hope for here, unless it's blowing 25kts onshore. Even then it's just wind blown choppy cr@p.

I'd just go the 13 and keep your fingers crossed for decent wind.
