Catch the Wind on Lake Zug!
Have you ever watched windsurfers gliding across the lake and wished you could join them? Now is your chance.
Windsurfing combines the thrill of surfing with the freedom of sailing. It’s dynamic, fun, and thanks to modern equipment, much easier to start than you might think. This Introduction & Taster Day is designed for complete beginners who want to get wet, have fun, and experience the unique feeling of being powered by the wind.
What to Expect & What You’ll Learn
This is a hands-on session, not a lecture. We keep theory concise so we can maximise your time on the water.
- Morning: We start with a simulator session on land to understand wind dynamics. Then we hit the water to practice balancing, uphauling (lifting the sail), and taking your first short rides.
- Lunch Break: Relax and recharge at Zug Harbour.
- Afternoon: We focus on steering, turning the board around (tacking), and sailing toward a specific point.
Our Goal for You: By the end of the day, you will be able to stand up, sail away from shore, turn, and safely return—all with a huge smile on your face!
Meet Your Coach
You will be coached by Dave, a passionate sailor and windsurfing coach with over 35 years of experience on the water.
- Decades of Teaching: Former RYA Senior Instructor and Level 5 Windsurfing Coach.
- Science of Movement: With a degree in Sports Science, Dave understands biomechanics—teaching you to use technique, not strength, making learning faster and far less tiring.
What is Included? We provide all equipment needed to get started—just bring your swimwear, a towel, and enthusiasm!
- Stable Beginner Boards: Wide and buoyant to make balancing simple.
- Lightweight Rigs: Modern sails that are easy to lift and control.
- Safety & Gear: Wetsuits and buoyancy aids included.
- Small Group Coaching: Personal attention to ensure solid progress.
Who This Is For
This day is tailored for complete beginners or anyone who has tried a short taster before and wants to properly master the basics. You don’t need prior sailing experience or heavy athletic strength—just a comfortable, confident attitude in the water.
