Can anyone recommend good tape for the paddle shaft? I use Hornet. it feels great but doesn't last very long.

Surfboard wax works best for me.

Plumber’s repair tape on my control hand. It only adheres to itself so no residue and easy to remove, has a little bit of cushion and is a little tacky. Regular electricians tape on the other hand - slicker.

Surfboard wax melts fairly quickly and needs to be re-applied so it gets messy. I tried it because I saw Jasper using it and later asked about it. He did was mainly for the starts, then melts. If your going to try it, use the one for cold temperatures.

I also used the stuff Peter mentioned the longest but have been experimenting with other options lately. I don't like too much build up or cushion.

I personally just use 3m electrical tape, with a little ridge higher to keep my hand in place
