If your looking for a directional board you could always find a small used surfboard at a surfshop and put footstraps on it. It probably doesn't need to be super strong like other kite specific boards, as your son probably doesn't weigh enough to really stress the board.

I think TT may be easier to learn on; so ideally looking for a small twin tip.
thanks!
