[Paddlewise] Paddle Traction

I currently use a Lendal Nordkapp paddle, whitch has good pull for surf
breakouts, as well as good blade area support for moving water work. My
other paddle is a Lendal Archipelago, not as good for the former stuff,
but nice in higher winds and easier on my abused shoulders. I'd like to
get a bit more "traction" from my narrower blades. Wing paddles have
"shark skin" on the inside cup face, to give this "traction" ability of
the wing paddle to pull more water. Has anyone experimented with
painting on some kind of roughened-up traction type surface on the power
face of their regular euro paddle? Perhaps a bit of antislip deck paint,
or some such thing. Any thoughts?
