Worth knowing
Indiana Paddle & Surf; cover, cost and conditions
In Switzerland, Indiana Paddle & Surf builds SUP boards from the family board to the race board and now also covers wingfoil, a brand that is strongly represented on Alpine lakes and in the Lake Constance region. The race and foil models lie in the four-figure range, the family packages below that.
With carbon race boards, breakage is the relevant type of damage. A fourteen-foot board weighing only a few kilograms is sensitive to point loads during transport and carrying. This damage is covered by full hull cover as far as it results from a single event; delamination caused by ageing is not. Transport the board in the padded bag and on suitable racks.
On Alpine lakes the weather question matters more in practice than any question of cover. Foehn winds and thunderstorm gusts build up within minutes on Lake Constance, Lake Lucerne and the Austrian lakes, and a SUP drifts away quickly in offshore wind. Personal accident cover pays for the injury, but the effective precaution is the storm warning: take the flashing lights seriously and do not paddle far from the shore in a foehn situation.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Is breakage of a race board covered?
If it results from a single event, a fall, a point load or damage in transport, yes. Delamination caused by ageing is not.
What should I pay particular attention to on Alpine lakes?
Foehn winds and thunderstorm gusts build up within minutes. Take the storm warning given by the flashing lights seriously; in offshore wind a SUP drifts away quickly.

Nautical information What counts before you cast off, papers, equipment, waters
Licence
No licence required; muscle-powered craft are licence-free, federal waterways included.
Registration
No registration required. Some waters do ask for a local permit or sticker before you launch.
Waters
Inland lakes, rivers and the coast, mind nature-reserve rules; many stretches are closed seasonally.
Equipment
Buoyancy aid or lifejacket, buoyancy bags in the boat, spraydeck, a waterproof case for phone and papers, a whistle.
Cruising range
The agreed cruising range is stated in the policy and can be extended for a single trip at any time.
Weather
Offshore wind is the main risk: it carries you away from the bank and makes the return hard. Check wind direction and the gust forecast before you launch.
General guidance, not a complete account; what governs are the rules of the waters you are on and your boat’s manual. Current wind force and direction for your waters are shown on the Home.
