I paddle a X-13 and each time I go out my hands and fingers completely peel off a layer or two of skin. It takes about a week or two to clear up. It gives me something to do when I'm bored but my wife hates it and some of my patients trip out on them when I go to touch them  . Also, I need to grab medications out of a Pyxis system at work that scans my fingerprint and I'm unrecognizable when the fingertip skin peels off for a couple weeks. Not too big of a deal but it slows me down when I have to wait on a nurse to grab me some lidocaine or other meds.
I only ask this question because if this doesn't happen to Hobie guys, it will support my cause in buying a Revo 
I'm hoping to tell my wife: 1)this is a paddller's problem. 2) you will have nicer hands to hold 3) no more touching patients with scaly fingers (I actually throw gloves on when this occurs) 4) it will make me more effecient at work.
Thanks in advance |
My hands don't look like that!!! Are you using paddling gloves? My hands only get cut if i am setting up a new rig or i get hook on my hand.
These are the ones i use...
