I've done it. You hit upon the main concern, which the water still travels down the shaft on each stroke. Its good to coat it about a half a foot more, which you got right on the money. I never posted a video on this because the coating wears off, given time. I think it comes down to how much you paddle, so I never could nail down an actual time frame. Some people fish less, some people fish more, so it would be different for everyone who used it. Still, it works and saves a damp trip home, if you don't mind re-treating the paddle every so often.

Great tip. My solution was a longer paddle and therefore a less vertical paddle stroke. I needed the longer paddle because of my type of kayak as well as my height, so I never really encountered the problem, but I know a lot of my fellow kayakers encounter it.

You are exactly right! My paddle is too short, but I am too cheap to go buy a new one :-) When I switched from canoe to kayak, the dealer did not do the math on kayak width vs my height. The paddle cost a fortune, so I am going to keep it for a while until I force myself to fix the issue!

Very impressive product. I do most of my kayaking in the sun which quickly dries up the water that drips on my clothes, and mostly wear a wetsuit because I launch from the surf or even a boat launch so water isn't really a problem. I find myself surrounded by a lot of it once I leave land =D. I enjoy the coolness of the water. I would say though, it is a bit annoying having spay or drips on my prescription sunglasses that dry up and hinder my sight so you still have my attention.

But the dripping problem persists when the paddle is raised a little bit higher, allowing the wind to blow the dripping water over the side of the kayak and over my legs, very annoying and water starts accumulating inside the kayak if I ignore it. I'll be trying this hydrophobic coating next week, either it works as well as in your video, or I may try a longer paddle, or I'll consider closing the kayak with fabric.

I'm going to guess not, due to the different physical forces involved. My knowledge of physics is admitedly rusty, but I think paddling performance (specifically the amount of energy transferred through displacement from the boat, paddler, and paddle to the water, as well as the degree of resistance caused by the water and air) relies on the mechanical transfer of energy, and fluid dynamics... That is different from the (adhesive?) forces which cause water to remain adhered to the paddle against the force of gravity. Slightly accelerating (or slowing) the movement of water across the blade of the paddle by applying wax or other chemical film seems like it would have negligible effect at an angle perpendicular to the blade, though perhaps some noticeable effect on movement (specifically resistance to gravitational force) along and parallel to the blade.

Hey, I've raced boats. The hydro dynamic principles are similar. Yes, speed, cavitation, all those factors not withstanding. There's a school of thought that rough is better than waxing . Has to do with a boundary layer creating less friction, so the turbulence in effect keeps the water away, improving flow. . Here's a cut & paste from a race forum that explains it in more detail. IMHO, if anything, a human powered vessel would have insignificant benefit with either a waxing or scuffing. approach The forces at play are minimal. Thx Mr Foxx Professional boat racers prepare the bottoms of their hulls by lightly scuffing the surface at a 45 degree angle to the keel. Its difficult to explain why (i'll give it my best chance here), but waxing the bottom will actually create more friction that a lightly scuffed surface. Your example of a freshly waxed car is a good example. The water does bead from the surface with minimal effort...but have you noticed how a dull, faded car will actually hold a sheet of water on the surface and not let it roll off? When you have that surface of water sticking to the bottom the hull, the water passing underneath the hull can actually do so easier because water-to-water friction is less than water-to-hull friction no matter how smooth or well waxed the bottom is. I dont have back-to-back proof (like gps data) but I figure if its good enough for the teams that spend major dollars to go boat racing, its good enough for me:) I have heard its a 1-2 MPH on a full size boat. I do wax the topsides for easy cleanup after a trip to the lake though.

@@KayakhacksFishing man thanks a lot. I will try the duct tape and let you know if I can get it to work. I think the neverwet will neverwork in my case because the shape like you said.

@@KayakhacksFishing I found a solution for my problem. I never did try the duck tape though. What I did was I put two 5/8s thick bolts underneath the stabilizer, where it clamps to the gun whale, one on each side. That raised it up enough to where it's not touching the water while I'm riding. It has a screw clamp to lower the floats when I'm anchored or not moving fast with the motor, so that I can stand up and move around.

I do not think it would last with the typical scraping that occurs hitting rocks, sand and mud.

A quick fix and inexpensive solution is placing a piece of duct tape 8' long folded in half to create a tab just at an angle on the bottom of the paddle blade just before the shaft. To secure tape when you fold it in half a section of tape is adhered to each side of the paddle blade See Photo image.ibb.co/kPk8Fv/drip_tape.jpg
