Hi Roger, Shawn's advice is excellent - what my husband and I tell all newbies. I have a Perception Shadow (16'8", 22.25") which I love (I'm smaller than you). It is popular with many people your size and it handles well. It's been around for several years so you may find some used ones (then, again, the owners my not want to part with them!)
