| * **Tape** - tape wraps on paddles tend to be quite personal in style, material and location. Experience will guide you toward what works best for you. But tape can make paddling more comfortable, give better grip and feel, cause less skin abrasion, and can provide a guide (the edge of a wrap, or a built up bump) for your correct hand locations. This is a good one to talk to other paddlers about - see what they do - try it - and see if you like their method or not. If you decide you need a big change in hand position, you may want to move your tape and hand position gradually to give your body time to adjust. | * **Tape** - tape wraps on paddles tend to be quite personal in style, material and location.

| + | **Stress Reduction** | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are a **[[:paddles#reducing_stress_tendinitis|number of factors]]** that can affect the amount of stress that your stroke will cause on joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Length can be one factor along with, blade style, blade size, and shaft stiffness. After you follow general guidelines on paddle length and start to put in more distance and/or more sprints in your paddles you may want to consider varying your paddle length either for prevention or cure of any potential or developing repetitive stress problems. | ||
