First trip to the dunes, what paddle?

(1/2) > >>

So my first trip to the dunes is the end of September, my question being what should i put on the K5 as far as a paddle, 8 scoop, 10? 

sandblaster:
My experience..
500 10 paddle = wheelies! (What I run)
500 8 paddle = slips a bit and slides around corners but is probably better for a beginner.
250 8 paddle = good for most riders
250 10 paddle = bogs unless your motor is hot or you are a very light rider.

Motorrad:
bike is actually fact it faster with the Kings turbo 8th scoop

i'm no noob to the dunes, rode them for about 9 years none stop, got out of it for a while but this will be my first time on the k5, i figured on the 8. like all the sand cars they have enough hp to pull 38inch massive paddles but they sure do run better with smaller ones.

Ims Roll:
i'm a fairly big rider as well, being 270 6'5
