Here's what I think.. Something like this.

DJ

8'0 x 30 1/2 x 4 1/2.

Aloha...808
I think these will work for you.....
i weigh about 150 and im about 5'7"....
The 8'-6"x 28-1/2"x 4-3/4" (the board on the left) works good for me.....and I'm 5'-10"    225lb.
 
or ...............you can try a 7'-8"x 29"x 4-3/4" (the bord on the right) this dimension may work for you to.

You can start there!!!!......Are you here in Hawaii???

Aloha.....Sam

So are you planing to shape your own board?.........or are you going to have some one else do it? If you are then I have a blank for you (no stringer)......PM me!

Aloha......Sam

This one is coming back to Maui this month.  It is very fun for glassy, normal sized waves.  If you are here, you are welcome to give it a go.

8'6, 4.5 thick, 27.5 wide

Hey Assassin! I'm planing to shape this kind of board.
 under 28" wide! There are nice boards in this thread!
Here is my project, version 1.

I want a fast board with a big front rocker and volume at the tail.
It's actually 28'61" wide but it will be less once shape finished.
I have to improve. What 's your opinion?

 :D ;D

If only the super ferry were running, I would be happy to have someone drop it to you for some water time.  At 150 lbs, a board like this could be your money board.  4.5" thick might be too much for you, but I think you would be pretty stoked with the other dimensions. 

This one is hand shaped epoxy with a stringer.
