I'll be honast I like doing these runs on the 12'6, if I was on a 14 I would more than likely paddle just as much!! as thats how you have to do it if you want to push over bumps. It was only 20 knots so not super windy.
I could have easliy sat back and just surfed the bumps a bit more but then jake would have kicked my arse!!

maybe if I was on a unlimited board I would have gone faster but I had enough fun on the 12'6. Yes a 14 can be easier sometimes but if I had to pick one board my 12'6 would be it!!
