I feel like I have searched and searched and searched, but cannot find the answer I am looking for. There are so many different options that I'm probably overthinking this whole thing, but want to buy a set once and stick with them.
We mainly ride trails but are looking to pick up a set of paddles for the occasional dune trip. Our dunes locally are at approximately 8500 feet in elevation for reference. We have a 2018 XP4 Turbo, AA S3 Clutch, AA Stage 2 Tune for trail riding and Stage 6 E85 Tune for sand dune riding.
Trying to figure out what will be the best size budget paddle for us? Majority of riding will be fast, racing or shooting hills. Currently looking at two sets of paddles, CST SandBlasters and STI Sand Drifter. Would we be better off with 30's or 32's and why? I am leaning towards the CST 30's but I am worried that we will blow the tires off and wish we had gone with 32's.
*Not looking to spend the coin on Skat's, we do not ride sand enough to justify the cost.
Thanks in advance!
