How big should i go? I have a surf but want to be able tow other people out (nissns and stuff :lol: )

how much cable do most come with?

Im going to mount it on a removeable hitch so dont have to worry about getting it to muddy and going through rivers. Have been looking at the runva brand on trade me.

Cheers Pete

i went bigger than i needed for the same reason, it is not just me that will get stuck, i put a 8500lb winch on my scudo where as a 6000lb would be alright, i got a ramasey winch because of parts and back up will always be availible

mine has 30metres of cable which i think is pretty standard

I would say 8000lbs for a surf.
