Read up on what this site has to offer
https://surfing-waves.com/surfboard.htm it is the same site you are posting on. Once you have read this then come back and ask this question. Saying that you want a pointy one tells us that any advise we give you will be ill advised becuase you will not be able to understand the benifits behind them.

yeah, sharp bits on surfboards are great for beginners.
