I am 6'5" 215 lbs , size 13 boot, and I currently ride an 8 year old burton baron 172. Will the 172 skunk ape be the right choice for my "freeride" (everything but tricks in the park) tendencies and size?

With a size 13 boot you will need to get the widest board out there. Make sure you check the dimensions for the waist. Your toes will probably hang over while carving if your rear binding is set close to zero. The waist measurement is 268mm at its narrowest... so if you are size 13 you may still have overhang problems. Look around for binding lifters... Palmer used to make some a while back. They help people with long feet. I found the following site helpful setting up my Nidecker Ultralight wide 167. I use a forward stance to make sure my toes and heels don't drag when I carve. http://snowboardworld.info/snowboarding/Common-Category/Snowboard-Stance-Type-Regular-or-Goofy.html
