Elevatesurf

Elevatesurf is a wingfoil and kitesurf shop based in Neuchâtel, run by riders who sail on Lake Neuchâtel. It sells mainly online, with delivery across Switzerland, and receives customers by appointment at its premises on Avenue de Bellevaux, a few minutes from the lake, for order pick-up and advice. An official F-One dealer, it carries some fifteen kite, wing and foil brands, including Core, Eleveight, Flysurfer, North, Slingshot, Reedin, Manera, Mystic, Ride Engine and Indiana.

The range covers wings and kites, boards, foils and masts, harnesses, wetsuits and accessories, ready-to-ride F-One packages (wingfoil, kitesurf, kitefoil, pumpfoil), downwind boards and second-hand gear. Gear is chosen according to weight, level, spot and budget, by phone, WhatsApp or in person; assembly, set-up and after-sales service are handled in Neuchâtel.

Elevatesurf also rents kite and wing gear at the Saint-Blaise spot (the rental fee is deducted if you buy), as well as a licence-free Draco 400 boat (4 people, 8 hp), on its own or with foil gear on board to reach a spot on the lake. Lessons and discovery sessions take place on Lake Neuchâtel, by booking and depending on the weather: pumpfoiling from a pontoon, wingfoiling from the first run to independence, and boat-towed foiling, in small groups, with F-One gear, wetsuit and safety briefing provided. Kitesurf gear is sold and rented, but kitesurfing is not part of the lessons.
