 +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.

 +Paul Tomblin I also tried tape like the one you described and I didn’t like the feel on my hands.\\

 +Have you tried electrician’s tape? Instead of wax

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

 +Boyan Zlatarev Maybe it was the wrong color tape

 +Author **Boyan Zlatarev** \\
 +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.\\

 +Tim Rowe it was not only wind but also a lot of rain! We hid away by downwind a far more mellow downwind from Sotogrande to Estepona. We got some nice runs and 50/50 on the rain vs no rain time. Total sunshine time was around 2 min and 15 seconds!
