Thanx for the welcome.....shyte...too bag I missed that 'nuke' wind.
I don't even bother going out anymore in 6.0+ weather, too much work
at my age. Although I do have the sails with all the bells and
whistles to make one knowledgeable boarder go fast in light winds.

I do have a slalom board that fits your description however, it's a
7kg racing board probably around 115-125 on the floatation side.
It's really fast but not for a beginner; it's hollow (it's got a
valve) and wouldn't stand the pain of having someone repeatedly
dropping a wishboom on it.
