Anyone do or done this?

I like watersports, surfing, swimming, boating, fishing, etc. I'm also pretty active and was looking for something to do in the summer that involves water. Family is looking at getting a camper - but I wonder what I'll do when we go camping? Ideally I'd like something to motivate me to grab the trailer and go somewhere. Gong camping and sitting around snacking and drinking gets old and dull for me pretty fast. Where we camp isn't always the best for going for a run (bears, cougars, getting lost). I'm always amazed that people can do this for 3-5 days straight.

I also know a boat and surf/ski setup isn't in the budget now or likely ever and is a lot of money to spend for crappy Alberta summers. I like to surf when by the ocean so I suddenly wondered about windsurfing. I'd imagine you can get some good wind at Sylvan and Gull lakes, not sure about ghost and you're probably not allowed at Glenmore.

Anyway
Does anyone do this anymore? It almost feels very 1980's/90's.... Almost like rollerblading.

Has anyone done it in the past? Know people that do this?

Thanks!
