Does anyone know what sizes are optimal? I have an 8 meter LF Havoc and a 12 meter Siwtchblade. I am 73 kg with a 133 custom and a couple of surfboards. Should I get a 10 meter as well?

you might score 7 metre days, you might be struggling on a 16 metre. its a really fickle place. plus the wind is not very ballsy in the tropics, so 20 knots there doesn't feel like 20 knots anywhere else.
and leave the surfboards at home unless you plan to do a boat trip to the outer reef.
