Justin,
* Both of those boards are good choices including the new Seatrend 9'0. It
has great reports and works well in the waves also.
* Tuba doesn't shut off at any particular time, but there are often big
holes on the way up to the breaks especially when the wind is kind of North.
I am 190 and definitely affected by lulls more than the 160 pounders. Use a
floaty board, a swept B&J fin, and a sail selection favoring the higher side.
Ask Bob G. he knows Tuba best.
* As far as choices North or South watch the bouys.
