Being 5'10 and 200lbs you need something thats very buoyant. I don't know specs on the 6'10 board, but make sure its a thick board. Correct me if wrong anyone, IM JUST A NOOB.

HA HA
my board is white with pink strips above the rails where the red faded
I dont really care what i look like, because the board suits me perfectly

Should I trade it in for a 5' 8" board thats yellow to look cool?

whatever board you get, it should be orange. Orange boards are way easier to handle than other color boards. they help you turn faster and catch waves much easier. Also, it goes with a lot of other colors so you won't get bored of your board.
