what, what, and what? don't know anything about them. just looking into prices.

Lots of different options with wood boards, get some ideas of what you want.

Grain surfboards look decent, haven't actually laid hands on one.

and then there's roy, but you gotta wanna pay for that, and want a really long board.

Paul Jensen saying that he pays 250 bucks for a foot.

This is not a fish but maybe the maker of them would shape one for you.
This is on craigs list but there is a link on where he got it.

thanks i'll keep looking around. didn't know they went for so much.

You could always shape your own, if you have the tools and the knowledge.

And a cheaper alternative, which is just as good (some think better) is paulowina, which you can grow a tree to harvest in about 3 years.

I'll be planting one in the spring. I'll probably grow attached to the tree and end up not harvesting it, but whatever. They are very pretty, and grow like weeds around here.
