Long time surfski paddler but a basic question.
On longer trips my hands tend to get torn up or sometimes I get numbness in a couple spots.
Most of this is from gripping the paddle too tight, a bad habit of mine but partially because I have a little bit of nerve damage in one hand.
I already use gloves, but curious what the consensus is that people do to their paddle (drip rings? Etc) to keep hands from sliding but also keep them comfortable.
I currently just have a several layers of electrical tape on each side to keep hands from sliding around which works but isn’t kind to my hands.
Thanks in advance.
