Any of the new skool (looping) playboats should do the trick. If you're 5'4 and 120lbs you'll need the smaller sized version like the small Jackson Fun or Star, RAD 175, Vision 44, ZG/EZG 42 (I think) etc... However depending on the type of river-running you're doin you may want to go for the next size up so that you have a bit of extra volume to get through the big stuff rather than the smallest size you fit into which would be more of an out and out playboat.
