Perhaps the Landyachtz Drop Hammer?
Not really a kicktail though, but it is a dropthrough with more of a tail than a nub (nubs by the way work for me too on my Heist, just saying).
Sounds like he really wants a kicktail, but the tail on the Drop Hammer definitely looks good for kickturns.

About doing an ollie on a longboard, I think it's cool but a bit odd. With bigger wheels and bigger trucks, and generally a larger deck, the weight doesn't seem light enough to do a real good, healthy looking ollie. Perhaps small ollies that are kind of like hops to get up curbs perhaps.

For sure, here is a photo of mine. You can see the tail in the bottom right. It's not upturned but is enough for tricks if you need it.

I'll let you know, and thanks for the input, I think he's going to end up getting the Eastside Dropkick.
Yeah as he continues to ride I dont think he'll need the kicktail
