Default What do you call the thing on paddle that prevents water fromcascading down shaft?

WIth a wing paddle, you'll get wet whether you have a drip ring or not.
Might as well get used to it. If you watch, most of the water is
coming off the blade directly, not running down the shaft. Wear rash
guard, wear a skirt, and enjoy!

You mean the drip rings? You can hash up some of your own pretty
easily. I have some on one paddle, but never bothered on the other, I
just use a skirt or get wear stuff that'll keep me warm while wet.
