Anyone making their own boards?

Sprocky made this army green thing we call the PICKLE. It is 6'2", 25" wide, and has a big single sail fin. I would say it is a piece of crap, but the sad thing is that I RIP ON IT! Not to mention it scares the hell out of the pack when you paddle out.
He has a pic somewhere.

Super Ed- I laughed so hard at your post. I'm bringing an ironing board to the next gathering. I want to see if you can rip on that too!

Here's the Pickle. Hand shaped and glassed on our coffee table one Winter Break back in college when my roommate was away. Took it out for a quick spay paint color job when the rain slacked off, and got caught out half way through. It orginally had a square tail, which didn't work as expected, but I quickly fixed that with a hack saw. It was a single fin for years, and then when I saw the Aussie style boards, I scavenged some FCS plugs from a victim of the '96 El Niño winter, popped those in, and now it's a tri fin. Still ride it every once in a while. Gets my vote for the ugliest board ever.

I swear to God Tom, I could win a world title on this...or invade a small country. The bottom is even uglier than the top.
