New board for a bro

Ok, so one of my buddies has been riding with me for about 3 years. He has always ridden mine or a friends board but now he finally has the money to buy his own. Price is not a concern here. He is an intermediate rider. He want's a three stage rocker, and a board with super soft landings because he has bad knees. He also wants a quality board that will last him quite a while.

Let me know what you guys suggest.
