: Hi,

: I just finished a 13' Rob Roy and have a double paddle, but none of those
: fancy gadgets that keep me from getting really wet from water running down
: the paddle shaft and dripping right in my lap. I would call them
: "drip rings", but I really don't know what they are called.

That's a good guess, since that's exactly what they're called. You can buy rubber ones at any kayak shop. They're designed to either slip onto a two-piece paddle or to be cut, then glued around a one-piece paddle (or held together with a wire tie).
