with size 13 feet so I'm told I'll need something wide and fairly
stiff. I have been looking at a wide Burton Cruzer but am told that
I'll outgrow it quickly and as I'm getting really into boarding, I
don't want to have to shell out for another board a year down the
line.

maybe you would be better off getting a used board this year. You
can resell if next year if all works out well. And this way you
don't commit a lot of cash to something that might not be right.
