it's the width that matters.

ok tokyo.... you need to get a pretty wide yet THICK board...like 10' is great...still, I have knee paddled on a 9'2 like 22" wide and 23/4 inch thick before and was fine...although I am smaller than you...so maybe that's why....that said...the bigger the better...thick and wide...way to go

my 9'2 is one of the crappiest designs ever. some local shaper made the width too thin. it gets too much drag. if i wanted that then i would ride a shortboard.
