If you are talking about a kiteboard, go to kitesurfing school in the links section, or:

good luck.

Although I'm not sure if you are not talking about ironing board, take a look
here. That may help

Kiteboards don't have to be fancy to work (apparently: -- I wouldn't know myself since I don't kite
). Check out these from some poor students at MIT:

Here is probably the best set of links on board building sail, surf, kite and even skim boards. Design and constuction methods included
http://www.viser.net/~anthwind/
My suggestion is for a composite construction vacuum bagged PVC (divinicell) foam core with epoxy / glass laminates.
I do have some materials and equipment to sell.

Johnny, I loved that link, quick load, good pix and flow, nice instruction and to the point commentary
Makes me want to order an EH, gotta like the emphasis on safety in the production process too and the attention to detail. Probably an expatriot sp? German or Swiss/ Austrian, right?? Lemme know if you are the rep or affiliate.
