If it's for that new board I'd go 8ft. Get something stout enough for all that foam and repeated stretches as you break it in. There was a poll on the buy and sell page a couple of weeks ago for leash favourites....there were as many votes for as many different brands as exist.....the only brand universally reviled was Gorilla which three different people posted pictures of breakage at the hinge between the leash rope and the ankle cuff. Outside of that, cheap to expensive all had backers.

I use On A Mission leashes. Depending on the maker, some measure end of cuff to end of rail saver. Most measure just the actual cord portion. I use a 8'0" 1/4" thick leash on my 9'1" longboard. My wife has a 7'0" leash on her 7"10" funboard. Make sure to pre-stretch your leash.

I like Dakine products because they are well made.
