A friend of mine had something that looked just like this about twenty years ago. Udder cream didn't take care and it occured after fishing (but not paddling) the next morning.

Turned out he was sensitive to the slime on bait fish, wearing latex gloves while handling bait took care of it. He had been fishing for years before this without a problem. It's probally is not the same thing, but boy, it sure looks like it, so I thought I toss it out there.

Just a little more information in case the previous suggestions don't work.

Does your paddle have splash guards on each end? If not get one that does (or get splash guards), that will help your cause

Most of you guys are missing the point here ,He needs a semi-legit reason for getting a Hobie .So back him up here and whine and cry about how paddling just does your hands so wrong .

Although I really appreciate the suggestions on how to fix the problem. Definitely due to the water exposure and not so much the paddle. However, I do only peel where the hand comes into contact with the paddle, as Doug suggested. Probably a combo thing but fun to play it as solely a paddle thing to the wife.

Hey Bus Kid, classic but I have to stay away from Darling Dingleberry........will nullify my progress thus far......maybe Darling Love Muffin Chipmunk

Well the Hobie Revo didn't fix my hand problem but I thought it was a good arguement to my wife to get a new ride. She is bummed because she still has to hold onto scaly hands. So, I just ordered the Kerodex 71 cream as Jim Day had mentioned and I'll see how that works.....

Back when I was putting myself through school roofing in NY I had a friend that had this issue when roofing in cold wet weather. He used to take GE 100% silicone caulk and rub it all over his hands.

All the males in my family, besides myself, are roofers. My dad, uncles, and so on use to do this. I'm gonna share this Post with him tomorrow, as they all thought it was a (family) secret.

Yeah, I have always had splash guards on my paddles......hands are just a mess after being on the water.....I don't ever have this problem after surfing but I can't recall the last time I surfed a 6-8 hour session

Just get a Hobie and your problem is solved. Tell your wife that is what the doctor ordered
