r/windsurfing

Hey everyone! I'm Brazilian, from Rio originally, and I used to surf a lot back home. I recently moved to the Richmond area and since there's obviously no surf here, I'm looking for a watersport that gives me a similar feeling. I'm thinking windsurfing, kitesurfing, wingsurfing, or stand-up paddleboarding, but I'm open to anything in that same spirit. Curious what you all would recommend as closest to the surfing feeling, good beginner spots around Vancouver or Richmond, whether there's an active community for any of these, and if it's realistic to practice through the winter too. Any advice or pointers to a local group would mean a lot. Thanks!
