Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since you're on the bigger side of things, the EW Bigfoot may be a good fit. I'm about 6'1 180lbs, and it's a solid board. My size 12s have no problem finding a comfortable position on it since it's 36x10. The complete from MHS is a pretty sweet deal, you get the deck, Indy 215s and EW Slide As for about $160. Set it up with some stiffer bushings since the stock Indy bushings are kinda floppy and you're golden. Some pads and a helmet would be a good idea too. Search around and find a tutorial on making slide gloves or buy some.
