Yow, 270 lbs. in the light winds this time of year will be a challenge. Best advice bide your time until useable sideshore winds come along and go for it. You should also try to get a larger board to help you out as well. I am not sure what the largest Best Float board is but you might look into that. I picked up a 135 cm Float a while back and have found that it out performs my large directionals that have been light wind solutions in years past. I am only 192 lbs. though.
Once the wind gets into the lower 20 mph range and above the weight advantage will shift to you once you are on your game in kiting. That is something to look forward to.
