Hornet Watersports Silicone Grip Tape for Kayak, Canoe and Dragon Boat Paddles

Helps to grip the paddle and just slightly padded so it’s comfortable.

It works well. Anyone complaining about it not sticking did not install it correctly. You need to have a slight stretch as you wind it around your paddle and overlap it with the previous rotation for it to "self stick".

I have used self fusing silicone tape in the past for electrical repairs but never for handle grip and this works awesome to improve wood handle grip. Be aware through the blue is more a baby blue than a navy blue as pictured (see pic).

I should’ve bought these first. I bought two different oairs of gloves and a set on velcro grips for my kayak paddle but they moved around too much. This tape was super-easy to put on and worked great… no blisters after an hour of paddling, so great!!! I have enough tape left to redo both grips if/when needed too!

If you apply the tape to the paddle correctly, it stays on well for a long period of time. Keep it smooth and taut as you wind it around the grip of the paddle. Works very well.

Very slippery when wet

The Hornet silicone grip tape delivered on all expectations. It was easy to use and does not cause any blisters on my hands. I have been using it since May and it still looks brand new after 3 months of use. This is the third different type of grip I have used and is easily the best. If you really want to make it more effective, put some concentric rings of electrical tape on your paddle handle first, spacing them apart by the width of the tape. Do about 3 wraps on each ring. After you put about 4 rings on, then install the grip tape. Just make sure to start at the blade (unlike I did).

Amazing grip by just wrapping it on the paddle. With a bit of a stretch as you wrap it has a nice tight fit.
