[mcrow1]

i dunno if this helps, but since u got big feet (im size 12) then u should go for a wider board. dont get the widest though. just get wat feels good.

Just get something that feels comfartable. Your size wont matter.

Im 160 pounds (or is it 140, i can never remember) 6'0 and size 12US (UK11) shoe. I skate 7.63-7.75.

im 180-190 6's with size 13 shoes and im skating a 7.71 right now and is bout perfect for skating

I'm not big feller at all, but it seems obvious to me that you qualify for a 7.75 or up. Also, make sure you get Venture trucks. They are a little heavier than, lets say Tensors, but the do have quite the support.

Try for bigger wheels aswell. Wheels are all more or less similar in shape, but come in a variety of sizes. 50-60mm I believe. Try and get something along the lines of 57-58, so you can run over the little rocks and things like that.
