Check out a Hyperlite Era 142 or a CWB Faction 144. At his size, I recommend at least a 140, but a 144 would be a good fit. Also, don't waste time on a beginner board. Might want to check out 2006 closeouts if he's looking for a package (incl. bindings) deal for that price range. Check out buywake, wakeside, boardco, grizzly-sports, ebay, any search. Support your local boardshop if there's one near you.
