Dragon Boating Grip for Better Paddle Control
Stay connected to your paddle through every stroke.
iTac2 Sports Grip Wax helps dragon boat paddlers maintain a secure, confident hold, even during long training sessions, intense races and wet or sweaty conditions.
Why Grip Matters in Dragon Boating
Every stroke depends on a strong, controlled connection between your hands and the paddle. When sweat, water or humidity makes the paddle shaft slippery, your hands can move out of position—affecting your power, timing and technique.
A more secure grip helps you maintain control without squeezing the paddle harder than necessary. This can reduce unnecessary tension in your hands and forearms, allowing you to focus on clean strokes, consistent timing and moving as one with your crew.
Made for Training and Race Day
Whether you are completing a long training session, lining up for a sprint race or competing across a full regatta, iTac2 is easy to keep close by.
Better Control
Maintain a secure, consistent hold throughout every stage of the stroke.
More Efficient Power
Keep your hands connected to the paddle so your effort transfers effectively into the water.
Less Overgripping
A more reliable grip means you don’t need to squeeze the paddle excessively to maintain control.
Find your Paddle Grip
iTac2 Wax is available in Regular and Extra strength so you can choose a grip level suited to your needs.
How to use iTac2 for Dragon Boating
1. Clean and Prep
Make sure your hands and paddle handle are clean and dry before applying iTac2.
2. Apply iTac2
Rub a small amount of iTac2 wax evenly across your palms and fingers.
A thin application is usually all you need. Applying too much can create more grip than necessary, so begin with a small amount and adjust it to suit your preference.

Dragon Boat Grip FAQs
Have a question? We've answered below!
Can I use iTac2 on a dragon boat paddle?
iTac2 is applied to your hands rather than permanently attached to the paddle. It is designed to improve the connection between your hands and the paddle shaft during training and competition.
Which strength should dragon boat paddlers use?
Regular Strength provides versatile grip for most paddlers. Extra Strength may suit paddlers who prefer a stronger grip or regularly paddle in hot, humid, wet or high-intensity conditions.
Can I use it when my hands are sweaty?
Yes. For particularly sweaty hands, begin with DryAS to help absorb moisture, then apply a small amount of iTac2 for additional grip.
How much should I apply?
Start with a small amount and spread it evenly over the contact areas of your hands. You can gradually add more until you reach your preferred grip level.
Is it suitable for races?
iTac2 is compact and easy to use during training or on race day. Individual event rules can vary, so paddlers should confirm any product restrictions with their club, coach or event organiser.
