This I find hard to accept. My paddle and I are friends. I spend many hours talking to my paddle on our way to somewhere and back again. I occasionally sing songs to my paddle. Hmmm, maybe singing lessons would help the situation. >> My suggestion is to make your own paddle. Then you can carve it to fit your needs. Short of such an endeavor, I suggest a paddle leash attached to the boat, a tree out of reach of your feet, or like a war pony, to your wrist at night so you can keep track of it. Your paddle my feel limited by such attachments but I'd think a good song or two would cure that.
