Andy's Kite-Shop Goldau

Andy's Kite-Shop Goldau is a specialist kitesurfing, wing foiling, foiling and stand up paddling store in Goldau (municipality of Arth), in the canton of Schwyz. Founded in 2003 by Andreas "Andy" Schocher and run by the company Andy's Billard GmbH, it combines an online shop listing more than 20,000 items with a 360 m² showroom on the third floor of Aeschistrasse 7 (1,200 m² including the warehouse), where gear can be compared and tried with an adviser.

The range covers kites, bars and kiteboards (Duotone, North, F-One, Cabrinha, Core, Ozone, Flysurfer, Naish and others), wings and parawings, complete foils and individual foil parts, pump foiling, windsurfing and windfoiling, paddleboards, as well as harnesses, vests, drysuits and wetsuits: more than 250 wetsuits can be tried on in store, from brands such as Prolimit, ION, Mystic, Manera and Soöruz. The team includes certified instructors (SUP SKV/SWAV, kite VDWS and IKO); the shop supplies spare parts and repair materials, and handles repairs on request.

From June to September the shop runs one-day wing foiling courses on Lake Uri (Urnersee) for two to three people: theory at the shop, departure from Sisikon harbour, foiling behind a motorboat, then practice with the wing. Courses are led by Andy Schocher and Claudia Kaech, IKO and VDWS kite and wing instructors. From May to September the company also runs a SUP station at the Brüggli in Zug (rental, board testing, lessons and moonlight tours), open since 2006 and refurbished in 2026.
