If your mate can get up to Taunton to pick it up I have an NMD XL 44 that I can let him have cheap, but TBH, I'm 6'4", and heavier than your mate, and the 44 was too big for me.

I'm 13 stone and 6'4" and ride a 43". I've mates who are an inch or two shorter than me but eat more pies and they're on 44" Custom X Titan's.

Depends on the conditions you'll most likely surf in. Summer surf or south coast I'd err on the side of caution and get a bigger board. If you only get excited by and surf the bigger stuff opt for a smaller board.

You could try buzzard bodyboards, i have one im 6' 3'' and 20 stone they can make them up to 47'' and 3'' thick, but it maybe a bit much for starting up.
