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.
http://www.grainsurfboards.comand then there's roy, but you gotta wanna pay for that, and want a really long board.

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.

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.
