Look for something a little wider and that has a rounded tip/tail, they are more forgiving. Also check the rails, too thin and the board will edge very aggressively, same goes for bottom features, too aggressive(ie. hooked rails, multiple fins, etc) might be too much for you at the beginning. My favorite all time teaching board is the Hyperlite Motive, such a good board to learn on. Welcome to the club.
