The sandboard I borrowed from a friend was similar to a normal board but base was similar to the laminate counter top material. I think the board was pressed plywood. Masonite slide pretty well also Not sure if it's as durable but that could be good for low cost and easily accessible as well.

Honestly seemed a lot easier and more forgiving than trying to make a real board. Maybe go with the line afterbang style. That might be your best best.

Can't you just use a shitty old pair of skis with extruded bases?

Normal skis work just fine. I'm sure a different base material might slide faster, but as long as the sand is decently steep, a pair of old rock skis works.

sand skis have a base made out of formica, which is harder than the usual skibase. that makes them slide better. but normal skis work just fine
