For everything I would recomend 21x12x8 9 paddle extremes. I believe skat trak stopped making this size, and their 22's are now heavier. So buy them soon.

Default Right paddles for a 686 Raptor?

There is a reoccurring pattern here, everyone from the southwest recommends no more than 8 paddles and the Oregon people are 9-10 paddles. I have noticed this pattern more than a few times on tire size and paddle count. I have even heard people recommend tires that I know didn't work for me up here and they seem to work great down south. Anyone else notice this? Is the sand so different there?

On a different note, the one most important thing that I look for in a paddle is that it has a round profile and not real square. 8" wide wheels are your best friend[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Alot has to do with the sand and what kind of riding.
I agree with SixSixt - The size does matter on your mod.

I got some turbo paddles for sale, for the price u cant beat them they have no wear on them i jsut got haulers for better traction for hill climbs and the turbo paddles dont have the glued on paddles they are all formed as one with hard rubber.. if you dont like that skat track has some paddles that are good for sand and hard packed dirt i cant remember what they are called but they look like the haulers but they dont have a paddle they hav elike a sideways I that is straight up and down mad of a very hard rubber compound and they have the stringy tar that goes accross them for better traction
