go to the Hearns and get some fiberglass or carbon fiber material and epoxy it onto your paddle or find a friend to do it for you. Depending on the crease you may have tp put layers on both sides of the paddle. You can probably get by with lightweight material. If you tape a piece of plastic over the wet patch, the surface will be smooth. I use West systems epoxy. You can buy small tubes of it at West Marine. A quick set epoxy will also work, but it will not be as durable. There are also folks who will do it for you for not much money around here. If you don't want to put a patch on the power face and the carbon fibers are not broken you can probably just put a "gel" coat onto the area where the epoxy popped off. Don't over do it and the weight won't change much. I usually put two layers of very light weight material on the area. Make sure you overlap the crease at least and inch on either side.
