Wakeman, building a wakeboard would cost almost nothing. It all depends on the materials used though. Fiberglass mat is $3/yard. Fiberglass cloth is $6/yard. Fiberglass resin is $26/ gallon. If you decided to use epoxy resin, your price would increase a little. Also, the core material would be tough. I would probably use this 3ply wood they sell at home depot. It is $10 for a 4x8 sheet and is super flexible and strong. Guys use it to build canoes. Plus the stuff absorbs resin really well, and the wood is water resistant. You could probably build one for under $100.
