Skip the Necky boat (chronic). I would say the Project 52. It is an awesome boat with lots of pop for big tricks. She should fit in it leg wise without much difficulty.

420 is awsome very fast and roomy also consider the 7O awsome boat still very fast still light but a bit longer checkout the s/m in both

Vision 44 will be the weight range but if shes got long legs then she will prob b uncomfortable its tiny! So could wait for the ronin 49 sits between the vision 44 n 56

Kingpin pretty heavy not that nice

chronic paddles well as does the vibe for big air
both nice and comfy

drago rossi very nice worth trying several models will teach people how to use correct technique but will be rewarding once you got the hang of things

project only saw one on the weekend seemed allright nothing special

riot seem to have gone downhill since corran left which is a shame

Id say the best bet would be either the the project 52 or the star. I agree that riot seems to have gone downhill and blissticks are a bit heavy for my taste. She is probably going to be inbetween sizes for the vision and the kingpin i persoanlly hate. Cant say about the 420, looks pretty cool. If she really likes wave play and carving then maybe a dragorossi because thas sort of corran addison whole thing. Both the star and the project are easy baots to paddle, at least they felt good to me. Have fun

Although I love the Kingpin, the Project seems to be a better palyboat. Don't know about the Star. The project is the newest playboat on the market and read some prommissing reviews of this boat!!;)
