Default Anyone Skim board?

Just curious to if anyone skim boards.

My girlfriend has been interested in getting a board for this summer, but she hasn't taken the plunge. I figured I would surprise her with a board, but I'm not sure what to get her. My budget is < 200$. I was looking online and the Victoria company seems to have some nice stuff, but I'm not sure if this is a good route since she is new to the scene.

Any suggestions?

well, it's like surfing, but because you want to show off (or can't handle real waves) you do so closer to the beach than real surfers and body boarders...
