I am getting back into windsurfing and looking for performance long board or something more modern with a dagger board.

I have an F2 Lightning that might suit your needs. Many of us think the mid-90s was the peak of performance longboard designs, with the F2, the Mistral Equipe II, and Fanatic MegaCat being best of the best. The Lightning was thought by many to be best in light winds, the Mega Cat and Equipe slightly better all-around. But the Lightning is an excellent board – but for advanced users and not really good for beginners.
Because of parts availability (and because some folks abused it) it’s been modified with a modern mast track…a little shorter than the original but the new track accepts modern bases (a key benefit). CB gaskets are also a problem in boards of this vintage. I have used a rubber baseboard, which works but it needs re-affixing. Cosmetically a little beat up, this board remains extremely light so I’m confident the hull is intact with no water inside. Will need a little work on the gasket (LONG past any availability), but would likely meet your needs and be a hoot in good wind.

If you have not yet found a long board, I have a Fanatic UltraCat in excellent condition. Original 7.2 m^2 sail / rig. It works great – not sure I really want to part with it – but reality is I don’t take it out much. Let me know if interested.
