Default Does anyone on here windsurf?

When my arm isnt elbow deep in my tank I like to ride my motorcycle and SCUBA dive whenever I can. This summer I'd love to give windsurfing a shot by buying a used board and trying it out on the windy lakes here in the interior. Is there a one-stop 'canreef' or 'J&L' of the Canadian windsurfing world where I could find some good advice or stuff for sale?

A friend gave me an old used board. Needs some TLC and maybe sail repair. I learned MANY years ago on Jericho beach West Van. Interested to see if I can still do it.

I used to but I had to give it up. I was able to kill any gale force wind simply by rigging up. Seriously, it was uncanny. Ohh! Wind warning! <rig rig rig> Hey what the ... ? Water's smoooooth like a mirror now.
