You will get much better advise by being cordial with others. The advise given actually had some merrit to it. You have informed us you have some extra weight and that you can surf but at what level. Are you doing floater cut backs arial or are you just driving the line or even going straight ahead. With some more information we can help but please keep the negative tone down.

For your size and weight, you may have to look at a Rusty DI Standard in a 8'0 or 8'6. Great boards, offer great float. If you want slightly better float, go with a SurfTech version of the Rusty.
