About

Coaching built around the lake, not the classroom

PumpFoiling.coach connects riders in Switzerland with pump foil coaches for private lessons, improver coaching and equipment rental.

Private by default

Every lesson is one-to-one or for a small group of two, so the feedback is about your stance, your timing and your pump.

Gear included

Beginner courses and rentals include a complete pump foil or FoilScoot set and a helmet. Bring your own wetsuit or impact vest.

Safety first

Every session starts with a safety briefing: how the gear works, how to fall, and how to share the lake with others.

Our approach

Pump foiling is a skill of rhythm. Most riders get stuck on the first start, then on the first sustained pump. We teach those two moments step by step, and then widen out into carving, turning and first tricks.

Our coaches teach in several languages, on the water and with video review on request.
