Seeking: GP drip control?

Tried out my first two Greenland Paddles this weekend. Promptly found a flaw in my first one. SNAP! Used the second one a while and man does it feel different! I didn't get to use it long because I didn't have a skirt and it was soaking me. It was way to cold to paddle in wet pants so I had to switch to a Euro paddle with drip rings. Once I get my boat built I will be buying and using a skirt.

So, has anyone found a effective way to control dripping on the GP? My thoughts were maybe a notch in the blade or tying a fancy knot out of some string on the blade.
