i also have size 13 boots, my forum devun walsh is really nice and works well, 159cm (XL), U might be able to get lasts years for cheap. I would think u might want to spend like 300 for boots and only 200 for bindings or just 250 for both. Mabe the DC Danny Kass signature edition boots. The best would be to just go into a boardshop and say u need a wide board and ask to see which ones they have.

I'm in exactly the same position and I've come to realize that guys like us are boned.

An Option Booter is the best I've found so far. The Devun Walsh isn't really freestyle, more freeride.

There's another local company that makes boards, I can't remember their name. Anyways, they have a board that's comparable to a Booter, but I quickly forgot their name as the deck itself is a crime against sight. By far the ugliest thing I've seen for snow (and I've been boarding since before neon). I'll see if I can find a link

OK, so I guess I was refering to an Endeavor (bad spelling for a Canadian company)

Their Hideous board is the "Live 159 wide".
