try ebay, any of the kids boards that are in small sizes might do well for her

hey wakerider, My sis is 11 and she weighs about the same. she is riding a liquid force Mini Squirt 22. the board is great for her. She also has some hyperlite splits on it. I don't remeber spending that much on it. Although the board is 2 years old and so are the bindings.

if she's just beginning, it's not gonna matter how good the board is. any board from a decent company will hold up well enough. just look for a good price.

ya, but if he gets the wrong board for her, thats not right for her when she wants to start learning things, she will have a tough time if its not a good board for her or if its huge or something for her, he should start her out on a decent board thats he can learn from easily, that fits her, and then when she grows out of it in a year or two, replace it with a even better board, but thats just my opinion, i know from experience, you shouldnt have your first boat be a bad board for ya, it will just make it harder to learn new things if its not proportionate to your size and abilities, IMO

yeah, don't spend a lot of $, I bought my kiddo a trip 128 for $100.....she rides it great, just get a good board, don't worry about all the "beginner" crap, a child can learn to ride just about any board.....and really a larger board to start with is more stable, just not good for wake jumps....
