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.

...with a pointy nose...

yeah, sharp bits on surfboards are great for beginners.
