Abstract
A flexible, no through hole, loop handle is disclosed for a watercraft. The customary loop handle through hole is completely closed by a particular, sturdy, flexible, stretchy, mesh, or other puncture resistant, water suited and water permeable fabric. The handle grip portion is a fabric tube enclosing a squeezable foam segment that enables a user to obtain a complete finger overlapped with thumb wrapped grip on the handle. The closed through hole eliminates the risk of a user's hand or other limb segment being intentionally or inadvertently extended through the handle. The mesh fabric is sufficiently flexible to allow a full finger wrapped grip around the fabric tube of the handle such that no aspect of user grip is compromised by virtue of the mesh fabric.
