If you really want drip rings, I know Prijon made\makes some that you can
attach to any paddle, look at their site or an outfitter.....

My new wing paddle does not have one and I was soaked by my first few
strokes.



I once knew some folks who tied a string around each shaft, near the blade,
claiming it had no interaction with the river, but deflected the water
running down the shaft onto the loose part of the string. I don't know if it
worked or not, but it sounded pretty cool.
