In Response To: drip rings for greenland paddle (Edgar Kleindinst)

: Anybody have a design for drip rings on a greenland style paddle (that work)?
: Greenland kayakers apparently didn't have any and either just accepted
: getting wet as part of doing business or had a paddling technique for
: avoiding water running back down the blade.

When our daughters were growing up they sometimes wore these elastic bands with cloth around them in their hair. I think they were called "scrungies". I have thought that these might work to stop the water flow on a Greenland paddle. My wife thinks I'm all wet and not from the paddle. I've been going to try them, but haven't had the chance.
