the 10 hooks up awesome.. but some peoples riding style prefer to have an 8 to have that extra spin in there for sliding around and what not which is the way i like to ride.. a little on the loose side.. thats what was great about the kings turbo paddle.. You could get teh a$$ end real loose and layed over and those ribs kept it from sliding out.. where as the sand snake or chitsings would just keep on sliding and wouldnt stay hooked when you were really bookin it in a corner..
just my 2 cents
