Man, you didn't have to wait for "the revival of longboards", y'know?? Longboards have always been cool; you get a great cruisy, gliding kind of ride in lighter winds, which almost feels like planing 'cos of the water slapping under the nose and the way the board cuts effortlessly thru the water... you can get back to the beach in all manner of currents and unfavourable winds, thanks to the magic daggerboard... and you can basically sail all day and never fall off!!
Anyway, as for your question, I've seen someone replace an old gasket; you just need a strip of rubber cut to size, attached (with superglue?) and then split down the middle. It's not exactly ideal but it works... have fun!!
...Ahh, longboards...
