surflove.ch

surflove.ch is a small Swiss kitesurfing equipment business run by Surflove GmbH, a company listed in the commercial register of the canton of St. Gallen since September 2020. The team of kitesurfers is based in Rapperswil-Jona and Zurich, on Lake Zurich. It has given up both a physical shop and conventional online selling: there is no showroom and no online basket, and sales are made only through personal advice.

The offer is limited to the big items: kites, with bar and lines if needed, boards (twin tip, directional, foilboard), complete foils or foil wings, and complete matched sets (kite, bar, board and harness). The five brands offered are F-One, Core, North, Mystic and Flysurfer. Customers describe their level, weight and usual spot by email; the team replies with a priced proposal including the recommended size and, where relevant, an alternative or a suggestion to buy second-hand. Equipment is shipped or handed over by appointment in the Rapperswil and Zurich area. For accessories, spare parts and neoprene, surflove.ch refers customers to another shop in the region.

The website also works as a guide: live MeteoSwiss wind readings for Swiss spots, refreshed every ten minutes, with a four-day forecast and each spot's rules, guides to kite destinations worldwide, and advice on learning and buying used gear. The team also runs "Kitemarkt", a Facebook group for second-hand kite equipment listings. surflove.ch does not give lessons.

No shop and no opening hours: all enquiries go by email to info@surflove.ch and get a personal reply.

Equipment is handed over by appointment in the Rapperswil and Zurich area, or shipped.
