There has been some discussion regarding paddle material and whether one material increases your chance of being hit by lightning. It seems to me that no one is considering that your paddle blade will most likely be partially coated with (salt) water, running to your drip rings and then down to a larger body of water. Sorta like a path from the tip of your paddle to ground. I suspect this has a non-negligable effect and, therefore, makes the actual paddle material less of a factor.
