Yak Grips could be an option, as well as I have seen some thing with either 1/8 or 1/16" minicell and some adhesive that you can use on your paddle. I tend to have a tight grip on my paddle though, but I constantly have to dip it in the water on the flats because it is too grippy.

It works very well as long as you don't a bit of wax getting on your kit(comes off while paddling). I find putting rubber grips on the shaft makes them to fat to handle nicely. Hope this helps.
