Well, the Phil Bolger designed "Dynamite" Payson sailboard has been around for a while, but I'm guessing it might look like an old PM design. Still, it'd be easy enough to build, though I daresay you might outgrow it pretty quick if you're into extreme thrill rides.

Or, maybe you could modify a stand up paddleboard. CLC has one: http://www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/surf_boats/surfkayaks/CLC-KAHOLO-SUP.html
