Good locker friendly first board

My son, 10 years old, 100ish pounds, pretty athletic took an interest in trying out my board (old Backfire Ranger x2) and loves it. He now wants his own board, but I’m not turning a 10 year old loose with a board like that. It’s too much power and he struggles a bit committing enough to make sharper turns with a board that size. Thoughts on something like the Nalu for him? I want something easy to turn, reasonable top speed so he and friends don’t kill themselves or others, ideally small enough he can toss it in his locker at school and ride around with friends afterwards. Let me know if there are other boards I should be looking at. I don’t want to go a lot over $500, and backfire is just what I know so I went there. I don’t want something cheap either where he breaks it within a few weeks.
