APPLETREE ZAPPLE FOILBOARD

Produktinformationen "APPLETREE ZAPPLE FOILBOARD"

Zapple: Designed for Foil Drive!

Let us introduce to you the Zapple, a fully Foil Drive compatible board! The board was designed together with the Foil Drive team to make sure the board fits the Foil Drive seamlessly to minimize water turbulence. Its recessed layout reduces drag and keeps the battery weight closer to your feet, giving you greater control during tight turns and high-speed runs. 


Key advantages of the Zapple

  1. Reduced Drag: The recess decreases surface area, significantly minimizing drag.
  2. Improved Weight Distribution: Positioning the battery closer to your feet enhances control, particularly in turns, by reducing the tendency of the weight to shift outward.
  3. Surface Skipping Capability: When motoring back to the lineup, the board can skim across the water without the battery box causing drag, allowing for smoother rides and higher prop placement on the mast.
  4. Enhanced Foiling Performance: The reduced likelihood of the prop hitting the water improves flow during non-motorized foiling sessions.
  5. Extended Battery Life: Lower drag optimizes battery efficiency, enabling longer foiling sessions.

No more signal issues 
The Zapple effectively tackles one of the most common challenges: signal interruptions caused by water and carbon fiber. The Zapple has an advanced signal optimization, eliminating interruptions, even in demanding conditions. We designed a special nose for the Zapple, acting as a “signal window”. The antenna for the Foil Drive is located in line with the track, to help the signal pass into the board, so make sure the foam strips provided with your Foil Drive kit are packed in there, to avoid signal blocking by water. So as long as you have at least a part of the nose above the water and you pack the track with foam there should be zero issues! 
 
Get away with riding a small board 
The Zapple is available in three sizes: 38L, 46L and 54L. With the added power you can get away with riding a very small board. But the bigger sizes also make sense, as they make getting up in the flats easier and also will provide this extra security when doing downwinders far out at sea. The boards are essentially midlength models, with the foil placed quite far forward, this makes the extra length and volume less noticeable. 

 Easy battery replacement 
 Ensuring the trench is fully compatible with the Foil Drive battery was an obvious choice, as it eliminates voids that cause drag and drain battery energy. To add convenience, the Foil Drive team has developed special barrel bolts, making battery replacement as straightforward as on a board without a trench. Easy and seamless. (available soon!) 

 Precision built: Foil Drive compatible board 
Our unique vacuum infusion technology we use on all our boards, allows us to make complex shapes with ease and ensure a very durable construction. We did a big test with all our board models and the Foil Drive, and we found that our 2024 midlength prone boards worked the best, by a long shot. So those were the starting points to add the recess to. Every aspect of this board’s design has been tested and perfected together with the Foil Drive Team, from its layup to the positioning of the foil box. 

 Including a deck pad 
The Zapple comes with comfortable pads with plenty of grip and a kick tail so you can feel where you are on the board. Inserts for straps are available as a custom option.
