I have several boards and I think a very forgiving board is the Ronix District. It's a continuous rocker board and the pop is very consistent (predictable) and has plenty of speed. Now if he's the type that like surface tricks or a loose board than a Slingshot continous rocker (Response model) or subtle 3-stage (Reflex model) is very loose and spins so easy. Plus Slingshots are known for landing very soft compared to traditional boards that are stiff. I'm very much a beginner/intermediate and love those boards and they still will allow any rider to progess. Easy to find closeouts on these models on ebay.
