The next generation of inset boards in the APPLETREE Zapple range – the APPLETREE Zapple S. A more performance based Foildrive trench board for more advanced riders looking to reduce volume. Zapple S: Next-Gen Trench Board for High-Performance Foiling The Zapple S is Appletree’s next generation trench board, crafted specifically for advanced riders, smaller riders, and wave focused foilers seeking to push their performance in surf. Inspired by the success of the original Zapple and developed alongside the new AppleSlice Prone, the Zapple S is a compact, ultra-responsive foilboard built exclusively in performance sizes. Key Features Ultra-Thin Profile – Minimal thickness underfoot maximizes foil sensitivity and delivers razor-sharp turning performance. Pulled-In Rails – Narrow rail profile increases control and forgiveness during high-speed turns and wave maneuvers. Flat Central Rocker & Continuous Rail Rocker – The combination boosts speed and glide, while maintaining agility and clearance when foiling. Light Deck Concave – A subtle concave improves comfort and enhances connection between rider and board. Full Nose with V-Entry – Adds volume and helps smooth out touchdowns, deflect water, and support prone paddling. Specialized “Signal Window” – A built-in signal window in the nose ensures seamless operation of Foil Drive systems without foam inserts — just plug in and ride. Inserts as Standard – Comes with inserts for straps as standard. Offset options in the back, V in the front so you can precisely match your stance Designed for a New Era of Foil Surfing The Zapple S was born out of demand from advanced riders looking for a smaller, more responsive alternative to the original Zapple. A board better suited for foil-assisted takeoffs, tighter turning, and small foil control in steeper waves. It’s not a beginner’s board and not intended for large foil setups. Instead, it excels when paired with a Foil Drive, offering the extra push needed to get going in waves — not flat water. With its compact dimensions and high-performance DNA, the Zapple S is perfect for riders looking to explore radical new lines, ride otherwise unridable waves, and get more waves per session.
