I remember seeing folks down in mexico roasting them over a flame so the spines will burn off quickly and easily, without any risk of getting them in your skin.  I think this is probably the easiest way to despine them.

    Responding to Louisa and whomever else who might like to eat some 'Paddle Cactus,'
it is delicious.  And there is no need to peel it, simply scrape the spines off, cut it into ¼" to ½" strips, boil until tender and enjoy.
When I got my paddles, I purchased them from:
