Sizing:
The overall paddle length should be determined by the shaft length from the top of the grip to the throat of the paddle (where the shaft meets the blade).
To determine the paddle size you need, sit up straight on a chair and measure the distance from the surface of the chair to your chin. Add 6” for the approximate distance the canoe seat would be from the waterline. For example, a person whose chin to chair measurement is 30” would add 6” to arrive at a 36” shaft length. Looking at the specifications for the Beavertail (below), you would find the best fit would be a 63” Beavertail. A one or two-inch variation really will not have much effect in usage, try for the closest shaft length. Remember to consider that canoe seat heights vary as might a comfort range that you might feel more suited to.
