The 8 was easy, because like you my feet just had to touch the end of the board. With the 7'6 it was a lot harder figuring out how much of my legs should hang off the end. No one can tell you exactly where the right spot will be for your size. Eventually you just get a feel for it. The right spot will be when your board is lying flat on the water...too far back and the nose will be in the air, to far forward and you'll notice the nose trying to pitch under the water immediately.

A good indication is that the nose of the board should be about an inch out of the water. But like you said its something you hve to figure out
