Actually, I had recently started looking into it as the last time we went to the lake, we saw a bunch of people doing it. Of course me being me... I'm going to make one. I've called around and got the price of foam. Seems like Home depot might be the least expensive. For gluing it together all of the foam producers said to use a little bit of the expanding foam gap filler, it holds really well apparently like glue. So, make it as long and wide as you want, shape, then do a layer of fiberglass. I am going to use two 2" sheets with a piece of wood or plastic sandwiched between for extra rigidity. I'm gona shape it, then lay a layer or two of fiberglass on it. Then for the footing I'm just going to buy that bathtub footing stuff, shape it right and glue that shit on. Bam done, stand up paddleboard for about $50. I figure it will be 12'x30"x4.5". I'll see how it goes.
My neighbors were making pretty nice liking wood ones out of their backyard last year. I can only imagine how much they are selling them for.

You can rent them for $20 per hour or so at Chatfield (swim beach or gravel ponds) any day but Monday or at Soda Lakes any day. The are fun for a while, but I would get bored with them if my kids and wife weren't with me to goof around and use the as a floating diving platform.
