The two men had built their un-seaworthy craft by using duct tape to lash together 20 Home Depot buckets and two plastic kiddie pools on a piece of plywood.
They went out on the water off Isla Vista around 2 a.m. Saturday.

They had a paddle but no wetsuits. It didn't take long before the tide had pushed their "boat" out too far from shore and they were unable to make their way back, the San Luis Obispo Tribune reported.
Fortunately, someone spotted them floating out on the water before they got too far. Authorities were notified and they were rescued within about 30 minutes.
No alcohol was involved, says the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, which referred to the incident as "Nautical Nonsense."
