John, Most doctors will tell you that arthritus usually begins in the lower thumb joints. you just learn to live with it ...., it comes and goes. As for the paddle handle wrap, I might suggest a tennis racquet grip. They are fairly water resistant and come in all types of grip from "sticky" to "dry". You could use some other sort of "Tape" to build up the diameter and finish it off with the racquet grip.
