There are a couple directions you can go.
First recommendation, there's the always reliable and very popular Slingshot Coaster. It's the skim style hybrid board that's got a little hybrid flare. Meaning, slightly larger fins and a bit more curve towards the nose than the average skim board. It is an easy board for beginners, easy to control, carries a lot of speed. As riders progress, fins can be removed for a loose skim style ride for learning spins and shuv type tricks. For their size, the 5'0" would be the best recommendation.
The only option I'll have for this will be a 2021 model, which have just debuted. I'm digging the new color scheme. What's new is they're now all constructed in the carbon fiber reinforced construction. This used to be known as the upgraded XR model. They've decided to make it the standard across all the 2021 models. It will be a bit more money than last year, but it's a discounted price from the XR. So a bit of a give and take. They'll hit the shelves the beginning of December. The link is below, the discount code "Coaster 21" will get you or anyone listening a nice pre-order discount.

I certainly wouldn't talk anyone out of a Coaster, but I do think I want to talk you into a Slingshot Cobra Cat. I think your ladies will love it! The Cobra Cat is a true surf style board. While the Coaster handles nice enough, this board, being a true surf style board handles like a sports car. That different mean it's more difficult, it just means it's more responsive. It's just as easy for beginners, it rivals the speed is the Coaster, but it is a more nimble and crisp handling board, it's my wife's favorite board and my favorite surf style. It will progress with your riders towards tight turns, slashes, bottom turns and airs. Remove the rear fin and it loosens up the feel, that's how I like it.
I have just lucked into 2 late delivery 2020 5'0" that my rep informed me landed in the warehouse Monday. I hurried and had him add it to our Dec. scheduled delivery. So they should arrive the first week of December. The 2020's are clearance priced already and can ship out the moment they're recieved. Here's the link.
The Cobra Cat is a classic surf shape design for all those Slater types looking to carve hard and deep for a completely agile wave-shaving performance. The pulled in tail allows surfers to turn tighter in the pocket and flow from rail to rail without interruption. The Cobra Cat features a...

They're both favorites, it's all a matter of riding style. Every boat needs 2 boards, skim style, and surf style. Maybe 2 if each... and a long board...
feel free to ask more questions if you've got them.
