Shouldn't be a problem in average waves, its more down to technique, i.e. correct board position in the face of the wave. probably no good in tiny waves i.e. under 2'. Fin's will make a difference as well, bigger the better to hold into the face.
I agree

I would say you can get some noserides off your 9'2". I have one also and have pulled a couple and I am 5'11" 190 pounds. Practice,Practice,Practice. Good luck

you can nose ride that longboard as someone said its down to technique.
As you come off the bottom of the wave turn slightly up the face so your board is slowly climbing. Cross step to the nose and dangle some pinkies. As your board begins to decend down the face under your weight cross step back to the tail. Do it again if the wave permits just climbing hanging toes dropping, climbing hanging toes dropping etc.
Its a good way to get proficient at nose riding. Also when you cross step make sure you standing up staright and maybe leaning back slightly. If your hunched over your cross stepping will be heavy and look ugly. The lighter you can make yourself the better the style.
Good luck buddy
