Density?

How about a thinner human will have a higher percentage of his weight made up of dense things like bone and muscle. Less surface area than water for a given amount of mass. Tubby McLardbutt will have a density more closely approaching that of water and will have a lot more surface area to act as a brake on his form, bringing him closer to the speed of a raindrop?
