A board for my daughter

[stoneaxe]

To be more specific...a pretty board  for my daughter. She wants a board of her own and has been looking around a bit. Of course she wants it all, decent quality, nice graphics, relatively light, etc.. It will be used for flatwater paddling and maybe some light downwinders. She found a SUPlove Escape 10-6 x 29 on sale at Marshalls for $999.99. I told her for what she wants it for...mostly cruising with her fiance...that she should get at least a 12-6 since he's paddling a 14' Coreban Alpha. She would like to keep it under $1,000...I told her good luck... . Any ideas?

11'2 or 12'6 Surf Diva, could be good options, everything she's looking for (except for the under $1000 price tag, good luck with that one.. those are new models for 2014, so getting them new is probably the only option right now.
