Frankly, I'd be just happy with different colors*, which is what is keeping me from making the board a day one purchase. But according to this:

Something like that may be on their agenda already. I would suggest PM-ing Z with your idea, see if he can drop a hint to whoever is in charge of that project.|

If you go check out the All Things Art thread in the General Discussions forum, you can find a large section where Noble Beast is getting ideas for different looks for the Rocket Board and similar powers.

Given the technology currently in the game, it's unlikely that we'll see customizable rocket boards anytime soon.
They'd have to fix the current UI and underlying issues with power customization for "optional" powers first - so until we get customizable pool powers and the like, don't expect customizable purchasable powers.
They can, however, make multiple purchasable rocket boards, flying discs, broomsticks, whirligigs, etc... But each would be a separate purchasable power.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Yeah, realized I had conflated a couple of Devs there just a little bit ago.

I would like the options to 1) fight from the board and 2) to give the board different colors. A big smokey dark wizardly controller flitting about on a perky red flying surfboard is just out of character somehow. Let us make it black & purple (or whatever), and allow us to fire back at those toadies who think it's cool to snipe at a hero who's just minding their own business and not hurtin' nobody nohow as we glide across the sky.

No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
could it be skinnable to get a different look? I'd even pay for that
I've got a character called Flying Fortress - a tribute to the fliers of the 8th USAAF who flew from "Somewhere in England" between 42-45 and the hoverboard works very well thematically but could look a lot more retro. Something that actually resembled a Fort - and actually making it look like a B24 Liberator would be very easy...)
That's the inspiration and I'm sure with a few other variants that just look different there'd be a few more Paragon Point sales too.
