Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:21 pmi suppose it also depends on what you are comfortable with. I know a few people that surf on 8ft boards with a six foot leash. i have a nine foot ocean and earth leash on my 8ft bilbo and my other half has a 7.4 also surfs with a 9ft leash. if you can afford to try out some different ones that might be best. but an 8ft would be best maybe even a 9ft.

Usual surf conditions: Max Length = maybe six inches at most hanging over the nose of your board.
Big surf conditions = a couple of feet longer than your ‘board .
In bigger surf on my 6’2 board I swap my usual 6’6” leash for an 8’ leash
