Silicone grip tape from Hornet Watersports, 1 inch wide and 78 inches long. Sold for dragon boat paddles and also listed for kayak and canoe shafts as a cleaner alternative to wax.
Price range: See on Amazon
What we liked
- + One roll is 1 inch wide and 78 inches (2 m) long, enough for two to three grips according to the listing
- + Presented as a residue-free alternative to paddle wax for carbon fiber and fiberglass shafts
- + Offered in eight colors, and the listing names kayaking and canoeing alongside dragon boat use
Trade-offs
- - At 78 inches the roll is far shorter than 12 to 15 foot kayak grip tapes, so coverage per roll is limited
- - The listing advises waiting several hours after wrapping, since the grip can be slippery at first
