x3 on the Hyperlite Landlock suggestion. I'm 6ft and err..250lb and getting up is pretty easy. It's the go to board for all new comers and they all get the chance to get up and enjoy the ride. I've also a Ronix pot belly and while it's slippery and turns/carves easy it burns my calves and thighs in no time, a slippery little sucker. It's fun tho and should get better with it. For stooging about and cruising around the Landlock has faired well, will experiment with removing a fin or two next season to see just because you can.
