New paddle grip




I found this stuff at Boater's World - Deck grip made of EVA foam (I am guessing).

I cut it into three strips and after putting it on the front of my paddle shaft, I used La's hair dryer to soften up the foam long enough to let it conform to the Kialoa Methane's oval shape.

After it was on, I tapered the edges (beveled about 45 degrees) and the results are AWESOME!

Great grip without adding shaft diameter - nice grip without the wax or blisters from a sticky, naked grip (get your mind out of the gutter!).
