I saw something like this on DW's blog. He used car door trim to cushion the paddle smack to the board. Believe he also used electrical tape over that. Gonna try it out on my paddles.

Yes that is what I use to protect the blade edge. You can buy a package of the car door trim at any auto parts store and there will be enough to do many boards. You don't need to tape it all along the edge (just the ends) because it comes with sticky stuff on it already.
