Me: 6'4", ~220lbs, 29 years old, in good shape, over a decade of experience.
I ride, ordered by length:
5'10" x 21.5 x 2.5 Klaus Jones twin keel. Good for spicing up an otherwise boring small wave session, but also very fun in good waves up to about 8 feet. Perfect for hard offshores since it doesn't get held up.
6'5" x 19.5 Mayhem SD2s. Squash tails. The polys are 2.5" thick and the XTR is 2 3/8". An older poly with glass ons is my current daily driver. I've also got a "retired" magic SD2 thats about 3/4" shorter and 1/4" narrower than my current ones ... from when I lived in HI and weighed 205. Its still magic, despite the extra weight I put on it these days.
6'6" x 19.5" Mayhem Whiplashes. Same thickness as the SD2s. My good wave boards, which I have not ridden during this awful "winter" we just suffered through. I've got a roundtail I had made just for epic point surf, which is unwaxed and that depresses me more than I can express in words. The others are squash.
Older 6'7" Mayhem proformance squash. Good step up board, great paddler. Awesome for connecting the dots in healthy sized surf. Rarely ridden in CA.
7'2" Mayhem semigun. 19.5 x 2 3/4" I think. Ridden once, went great. Would REALLY like to get some more water time on this guy, but I havn't even gotten my 6'6"s wet this year, let alone!
8'0" Carvin Gun. 19.5 x 2 7/8 ish IIRC. Haven't ridden this since I've been back on the mainland, but this board always worked well in long period juice double and a half overhead + up to my limit somewhere around 10' backs.
10' cooperfish mello yello modelo. No leash. Paddles and surfs like a brick $hithouse, and I love it. Turns a waist high wave into a harrowing experience. I've had it in shoulder high hollow point surf and not only did taking off get my heart racing, I also got barreled.

Me = 6'3", 205 lbs(ish), surfing for 12 years, although
you wouldn't be able to tell if you watched me. 
6'0" Hynson Twinzer (no dims noted, but I'd say around
21" x 2 3/4ish)...LOVE this board.
6'4" x 20 1/4 x 2 1/2 Rich Wisz swallow-tail quad...super
fast and fun in punchy surf, not the best in mush though.
Hasn't gotten much love since I picked up the twinzer, but I look forward to taking it out again this week.
6'6" MSF G2...very fun board to change things up on a clean
day with some waves.
6'8" x 19 1/4 x 2 5/8 Bulkley swallow-tail thruster that's
actually pretty gunny in the nose...good for bigger surf...
coming to Peru with me next month. 
9'8" x 23 x 3 Cobalt round-pin log...works in ankle slappers
up to overhead.

Okay, I'm just under your weight threshold. But, I make up for it in height. I'm 6'5" and 185 lb.s at 45 years.
My quiver:
6'2" O'Keefe Fish Quad-1/2 pound EPS with 3 ounce Impact glass and spheretex epoxy deck. It's been my LokBox Quad test driver and works great until the waves get critical.
(2) 6'5" 19-7/8" O'Keefe Squash Tail Thruster-Ones a P/U P/E and the other a P/U epoxy both were test drivers for our thruster setups.
6'6" Malcomb Campbell 5-Fin Bonzer-The board is awesome in the steep and deep.
6'10" O'Keefe Semi-gun thruster when my Bonzer gets dinged this one fills the slot.
7'4" Channel Islands channel bottom gun-I've had it since 1983 and it's pure nastalgia for me.
8'10" O'Keefe Rhine Chaser- It's been a while since I've needed to pull this puppy out.
9'6" O'Keefe Longboard-My daughter has pretty much laid claim to this board. But, if it's micro, it's a fun board to run down to San-O with.

me: 6'2" 225/30lbs 37 years old and 25 or so years surfing
My primary quiver for 90% of So-cal. Not shown are my longboard, quad-fish, and egg that i'm not using as much right now. All boards shaped by Kyle Bernhardt out of the NS
left to right, as I remember the original orders with my shaper cause they're all resin tints so the dimensions are hard to read and wax on each is buttass old:
6' x 21"-ish x 2 5/8" - believe it's 4oz S-cloth. pretty sure it's 2 years+ old now. mostly use in the winter for up to HH w/ fiberglass JC1's
6' x 21 1/14" x 2 3/4" - believe it's 6oz S-cloth as it's heavier than the other. got it this past april. great board for summer, and mushy surf w/ fiberglass EA's
6'4" x 20" x 2 5/8" - with hemp cloth deck. got it in Feb09. Basically a "Flyer 2" type of board. Road this all of 09/10 winter in 3' to 10' VTA point faces. Switch between AM2 fiberglass and JC1 RTM's when it's big.
looking to replace the first board probably with either a Black Diamond (whatever Roberts calls it now) or a PyzAlien.

LOL. Wouldn't think that 190 is in the big category as most contests have at minimum 225 to be in the "big" division. But then again, doesn't FCS consider 190 and over as large for their fin category? Anyways a 7'10, 8'4, 9'2, and 10'0 all at 23" and from 3 1/4 to 3 1/2. At 6'5/245, i .like flotation but have no problem dipping and turning. May have to try something smaller though - just for laughs.

Me: 6'4", ~220lbs, 29 years old, in good shape, over a decade of experience.
I ride, ordered by length:
5'10" x 21.5 x 2.5 Klaus Jones twin keel. Good for spicing up an otherwise boring small wave session, but also very fun in good waves up to about 8 feet. Perfect for hard offshores since it doesn't get held up.
6'5" x 19.5 Mayhem SD2s. Squash tails. The polys are 2.5" thick and the XTR is 2 3/8". An older poly with glass ons is my current daily driver. I've also got a "retired" magic SD2 thats about 3/4" shorter and 1/4" narrower than my current ones ... from when I lived in HI and weighed 205. Its still magic, despite the extra weight I put on it these days.
6'6" x 19.5" Mayhem Whiplashes. Same thickness as the SD2s. My good wave boards, which I have not ridden during this awful "winter" we just suffered through. I've got a roundtail I had made just for epic point surf, which is unwaxed and that depresses me more than I can express in words. The others are squash.
Older 6'7" Mayhem proformance squash. Good step up board, great paddler. Awesome for connecting the dots in healthy sized surf. Rarely ridden in CA.
7'2" Mayhem semigun. 19.5 x 2 3/4" I think. Ridden once, went great. Would REALLY like to get some more water time on this guy, but I havn't even gotten my 6'6"s wet this year, let alone!
8'0" Carvin Gun. 19.5 x 2 7/8 ish IIRC. Haven't ridden this since I've been back on the mainland, but this board always worked well in long period juice double and a half overhead + up to my limit somewhere around 10' backs.
10' cooperfish mello yello modelo. No leash. Paddles and surfs like a brick $hithouse, and I love it. Turns a waist high wave into a harrowing experience. I've had it in shoulder high hollow point surf and not only did taking off get my heart racing, I also got barreled.
Fun to see a zombie thread come back. I'm 33 now, this is 4 years old! My dims are about the same but I got my latest round of boards a little bigger. I like the new boards a lot so I'm getting ready to sell the old ones that are still around. Still have the fish and the mello, my shortboards are now:
SD2 Ploy 6'5" x 19.75 x 2.56
SD2 Marco 6'5" x 19.75 x 2.56
F1 Poly 6'6" x 19.75 x 2.63

interesting thread, always like to hear what other "big" guys are riding
225-230lbs, 40 yrs old
living in FL
surfing most my life
currently riding a 7'0x22.25x3.125 Christenson (sp) lunchbox quad round tail w glassed in 101's and have had it out this past week for its maiden voyages in 6-8 ft faces to thigh high dribble and it has performed superbly in everything and does not have the limitations of a fish plan shape going vert or doing strong cutbacks; it also does not have the "on train tracks" feel that I get personally from many fish;I have only ridden it this week but have been very impressed by its versatility and wave catching ability
super smooth and i can "choke up" on the front half of the board and ride it with no problems in the pocket; I can duck dive it no problem
I had it out yesterday in tiny little surf, thigh high stuff i would only ever longboard and was catching waves from outside to inside until the wave closed out on the sand
I have decided to pursue the more all rounder type boards lately and am very pleased so far with this one, will post pic of it when I can if I get the chance
there's more coming, but this is it for now, and it has delivered so far

What fin sets work well with this board.

Down to a two board quiver now.
Me: 6' and go between 190 and 205 depending on season and if I stop cramming food in my face, 40 years old and close to 3 decades in the water, and go anywhere from trunks to hooded 5/4/3 boots and gloves
White Diamond 6'1" 20.75 2.5 EPS
SD2 6'6" 19.75 2.5
and I have a "fluffier" WD on the way same length as above but at 20 7/8 and 2 7/8 in EPS to try a bit more float to hopefully be a bit more competitive with the longboards and funboards that dominate VA
