Getting thereThe Kehlhof in Stäfa is one of the established, publicly-accessible launch points on Lake Zürich and is specifically named by local sources as one of the better spots on the lake.
HazardsLake Zürich's kitesurfing rules are genuinely zone-specific, not lake-wide — worth knowing regardless of how established this spot is. Within Canton Zürich, kiting is banned in the lower lake basin near Zürich city, within 150m of ferry landing stations, near public swimming areas and harbor entrances, within 300m of the Ufenau and Lützelau islands, and entirely on the nearby Greifensee and Pfäffikersee (protected bird areas). The upper lake's St. Gallen-canton portion has a separate, stricter ban covering the entire water surface on that side.
