ok, ill help you out, I know im a guy but I came from the premier to the ss recoil. Slingshot is more fun, premier is better for small wakes (i/os, inboards with no ballast) Anything with a good to great wake I take my recoil. One of my best friends is a girl and she bought the pink pearl and jewel boots as her first board. She loves it, however I will warn you, the pink pearl/response shape is a rocket on the water. The board is REALLY fast. She had a lot of trouble until we put the boots at the widest stance and then she could make it track all over the place. As for learning to jump, well you are gonna have to get over it and learn a progressive edge or no board will ever be very good. If it were me, I would put you on the pink pearl/response shape and not the recoil shape. The speed will help once you learn to get use to it and go for it. hope that helps some
