A cool morning light breaks over the mountains and the lake exhales a steady breeze; instructors unload wings and boards at the modest dock in Stansstad. The group gathers on shore while the guides demonstrate wind angles and handle technique on dry land, wings catching air like impatient birds. A short boat transfer slips across glassy water to a stretch where the wind tightens and dares you to stand up on the board.
