The issue with a short boat is that it won't paddle well. I would go with at least 11 foot depending on her size. There are some lighter ones out there that are also well built and will allow her to keep up. Off the top of my head, Hobie revolution 11 if you can swing it might be the best, OK trident 11, WS tarpon 12. You should be able to find these used if you're not looking to break the bank. The other question is will she be going without you? If not, get her something that will allow here to keep up, be happy on the water and is a size that you and her can handle.
