| Yea, your best bet is just going into your local board shop and talk to someone. I work at a shop so I can provide a little advice. With the boards out now you really can't make a bad choice, they are all pretty good. you just have to get something that is for the type riding style you like. You said all mountain so you'll probly want something that is a directional shape and flex vs. a twin which is designed for park riding/freestyle. Also with those big size 13 feet, you'll want to look at a wide board cause on a normal size one your kicks will hang off. I'd take a look at like Option snowboards, they got some pretty sick wide boards and they're an awesome company. Burton is always good, they tend to be on the pricey side for the better boards though. I'm a fan of Salomon as well, they are putting out some quality stuff. A lot of it is really just personal opinion, like I said all the major companies are putting out some sick stuff. Just go scope it. If you can, see if you can get anything that is a last years model if you're lookin to spend less. Retail on new snowboard stuff is wayyy expensive.
