Appletree Zapple

The Appletree Zapple effectively tackles one of the most common challenges: signal interruptions caused by water and carbon fiber.  The Zapple has an advanced signal optimisation, eliminating interruptions, even in demanding conditions. 

Appletree 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.

Appletree's unique vacuum infusion technology they use on all boards, allows them to make complex shapes with ease and ensure a very durable construction. They conducted a big test with all their board models and the Foil Drive, and found that the 2024 mid-length 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.
