Appletree release the Zapple S & Appleslice Prone boards

Appletree release two fresh high-performance whips…

Introducing the Zapple S Meet the Zapple S, Appletree’s latest creation and the newest weapon in your Foil Drive arsenal! The next evolution of trench board design. This is not just a smaller Zapple. This is a board designed for those looking to turn harder, send it bigger and find out what is possible with a Foil Assist. Inspired by the best parts of the original Zapple and the new AppleSlice Prone, the Zapple S is made for advanced riders, smaller riders, and those who are wave-focused. Built exclusively in performance sizes.

So, what’s it like to ride?

Imagine feeling every shift of your foil like it's wired into your brain. The ultra-thin profile keeps you locked into the water’s energy, while pulled-in rails make turning feel like slicing butter with a hot knife. This board is light, precise, and ridiculously responsive. It almost knows what you’re about to do before you do it.

And yes, it’s compact. But pair it with a Foil Drive, and suddenly even bigger riders on smaller foils can push limits they never thought possible. More waves, more speed, more control.

Designed for a new era of riding

The Zapple S is a commitment to performance. It's not for beginners. It's not for cruising. It’s for chasing new lines, staying ahead of the curve, and getting more waves in your session than ever before. And when the surf gets steep? The V-entry full nose helps you stay in control. Touchdowns? Forgiving. Takeoffs? Seamless. The flat central rocker gives you the glide you need to get going fast, and the continuous rail rocker keeps your lines tight and agile.

Made for Foil Drive

We’ve added a special signal window in the nose, just like the original Zapple, so your Foil Drive works flawlessly, no extra foam inserts needed. Just power up and paddle in.
The deck comes pre-fitted with comfy 3mm EVA, a kicktail and the optimized prone insert layout is ready for straps.

The Appletree long foil boxes offer all the adjustability you need, especially when dialing in smaller foils for bigger, more critical conditions.

Introducing the AppleSlice Prone – A New Standard for Prone Foiling We are proud to announce the release of the AppleSlice Prone, a new high-performance prone foilboard developed for riders who are ready to push their limits. Drawing on years of board design experience, the AppleSlice Prone blends the DNA of Appletree’s most proven shapes into a single, purpose-built platform. This board is designed for prone foilers who value explosive responsiveness, early lift, and refined control, especially in steep and fast-moving conditions.

Designed for Progression

With a fuller outline to support efficient paddling and a carefully tuned lift profile, the AppleSlice Prone allows for smooth, confident takeoffs. The addition of increased nose lift improves control on steeper drops, while aggressive bevels and harder edge lines support smooth rail transitions and quick release. Even when carving at speed or navigating foam. Riders will also appreciate the board’s V front inserts, which create ergonomic foot positioning across a range of stances and conditions, and offset rear inserts for fine-tuned rear foot placement and improved leverage.

Built for All-Round Performance

We wanted to offer a prone board that truly matches the level the sport has reached. The AppleSlice Prone combines performance with accessibility. It’s for everyone from ambitious intermediates to pro-level riders.

Key Features

• Beveled rails for increased clearance during aggressive turns
• Soft water entry for smoother rail engagement
• Balanced front-end lift to ease pop-ups in tight sections
• Forward foil box placement on larger sizes, offering versatility across foil and wave conditions

Versatile Sizes

The AppleSlice Prone is available in Appletree’s signature carbon finish or with custom colour options. Sizes range from compact prone setups to ultra-small models suitable for kite and wake use.

Personalized Sizing Support

We are happy to help you choose the right size based on your weight, skill level, and local conditions.
