Swisspaddle

Swisspaddle is a watersports base set up inside the Corseaux-Plage swimming pool grounds, on the shore of Lake Geneva between Vevey and the Lavaux vineyards. Built around stand up paddle, it celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025. It is run by its founder, André-Gilles Perret, a former high-level windsurfer trained in the French sport-study system, who also headed the Swiss Ski School in Montreux-Riviera and developed a sailing and windsurfing school for Club Med. The operating company is Swisspaddle Sàrl.

Wing foiling is taught by qualified instructors, with equipment included: students first learn to handle the wing, then to balance on the board and ride safely. Lessons are booked by the hour or in packs of 4 and 10 hours, the latter aimed at riding independently. As a first taste of flying, the Friday discovery evenings offer foiling towed behind a motorboat (about 15 minutes of flight, with coaching from the boat). Group pump foil sessions take place every Thursday evening, and both wing foil gear (board, foil, wing, wetsuit, vest, helmet) and pump foil gear can be rented on site. The summer junior camps (ages 14-18) also include foiling, wakeboarding and wakesurfing.

The rest of the offer revolves around paddleboarding: rental, private and group lessons, SUP yoga, trips along the Lavaux shore, a giant board for 8 people and multi-sport camps for 7 to 13-year-olds. The shop sells Indiana paddleboards, wing foil and pump foil boards, as well as Ozone Wasp wings, with the option to try before buying. Pool admission is paid separately at the pool entrance; dogs are not allowed.
