i have better luck with 22" over the 20" can say if the 8-9-10 paddle are better the 9- 10 in the 20" don't seem to make a large difference in the drags.

I'M PLANNING ON RUNNING THE 22, I'VE GOT A LOT OF HP WITH ALOT OF STALL IN MY SPORT SO I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT WILL HOOK FAIRLY WELL. I HAVE KENDA DUNE RUNNER 8 PADDLES AND THOSE DON'T HOOK UP VERY WELL.

I'm running 22x11x8-11 paddle Hauler Ultra Lights on .125 alum. They are very light and hook up good but are a little pricey. Padla Brats are suppose to be a good dragging paddle to. Give Fullerton Sandtires a call, he is very helpful and will set you up with what ever you are looking for...714-484-5996.

If you go with the Extremes I say drop down to a 8 to 9 Paddles, Ultra buff and reg Haulers 10 to 11 Paddles. I run 22 ultra buff 10 Paddles and love the combo.

Do you do much regular duning with the buffs. I was just wondering how buffs will hold up.

my Sig says it all
Right now just a frame in the shop but many great things to come in the following months!!!
No riding for me for a while but Sam and theme are going this weekend.

The dunes we ride has a lot of Rocks and sticks in the parking lot, to my surprise I have yet to puncture a tire.

I've been running 21x12x8 10 paddle ultra lights for over a year with no problems.If your gonna go with the extreme paddles i would think the 9 paddle would work great.Hope this helps.
