Appletree Zapple Foil Board

Zapple: Designed For Foil Drive!

The Zapple seamlessly integrates with the Foil Drive Gen 2, setting a new benchmark for (battery) efficiency, control, and performance on the water.

Recessed layout for optimal performance

The Zapple’s recessed layout and streamlined design have been purpose-built to minimize water turbulence and drag whilst increasing control and responsiveness. With the battery weight positioned closer to your feet, the Zapple feels incredibly balanced, allowing you to focus on enjoying the ride.

Key Features & Benefits

Drag Reduction: The sleek design minimizes surface area, significantly cutting down drag for a smoother, more efficient ride.
Enhanced Control: By positioning the battery closer to your feet, the added weight feels almost unnoticeable. Providing better balance and making turns more intuitive. No more struggling with the weight of the battery pulling outwards when doing turns.
Effortless Surface Skipping: 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.
Improved Foiling Dynamics: The reduced likelihood of the prop hitting the water improves flow during non-motorized foiling, giving you the best chance at smooth glides and long rides.
Extended Battery Life: Less drag means better efficiency, so you can foil longer on a single charge—more time on the water, less time recharging.

Signal Optimization: No More Interruptions

The Zapple addresses one of the most common challenges: signal interruptions caused by water and carbon fiber. By incorporating a specialized “signal window” in the board’s nose, we’ve ensured uninterrupted performance. The Foil Drive antenna aligns perfectly with the track, and with proper foam packing, signal issues become a thing of the past. Even in demanding environments, the Zapple delivers consistent and reliable signal strength.
