Zug
Paddleboard coach in Zug
Zug is compact enough that the lake, the old town and the base of the Zugerberg are all within a short ride of each other. The lakeside path is flat and sheltered; the Zugerberg behind gives a short, steep climb that is ideal for interval work and is the default hill session for everyone who trains here.
The town's commodity trading and corporate population books differently from elsewhere: more lunchtime slots, more two-person sessions with colleagues, and more sessions arranged at short notice. English is the working language for most of our coaches here.
Easier than it looks, harder than it looks
Standing up takes most people about ten minutes. Paddling in a straight line for an hour without your shoulders burning takes considerably longer, and that is what a session actually teaches — stroke technique, where to stand on the board, and how to turn without falling in.
Season and conditions
The lakes are paddleable from roughly May to October, and the best conditions are early morning before the thermal wind builds. Your coach picks the spot based on the wind that day, which matters more here than anywhere: an offshore breeze on a lake takes beginners a long way out very quickly.

Common questions
Will I fall in?
Probably, and it is part of it. Come in something you do not mind getting wet, and bring a towel.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
You should be comfortable in water. A buoyancy aid comes with the board and is worn by everyone in a first session.
Can two of us book?
Yes — choose the two-person session. It works well and boards are easier to manage as a pair.
