Add 6” for the approximate distance the canoe seat would be from the waterline. For example, a child whose chin to chair measurement is 18” would add 6” to arrive at a 24” shaft length. Looking at the specifications for the Owlet (below) you would find the best fit would be a 42″ paddle. A one or two inch variation really will not have much effect in usage, just try for closest shaft length. Remember to consider that canoe seat heights vary as might a ‘comfort range’ that your child may feel more suited to. **Additional shipping charges may apply**
