| + | I used to use handlebar tape on my paddle until I found out that in salt water it absolutely destroys my hands. Now I go bareback with some tape above and below the grip zone. | ||

| + | Michael Michael I have tried many things over the years and I didn’t like the tape at all . | ||

| + | Michael Michael it is possible that the tape was wrong. I like more sticky grip on my paddle, which allows me to hold the shaft very loosely (often not holding at all but just hook lightly). It is my preference and I agree there are other preferences out there. I have seen all sorts of solutions - electrical tape, soft rough surface tape, medical tape, cork grips, bicycle handle bar grip etc etc. This is the solution I found works best for me.\\ | ||
