Quick answer: if you can already pop up and fly consistently, the AppleSlice V4 is the prone board that unlocks the next level — compact, fast to swing, and built in Appletree's bombproof carbon.
What it is
Appletree's advanced prone foil board, refined over four generations. Where bigger boards give you paddle power and forgiveness, the AppleSlice gives you performance: minimal swing weight through turns, instant response, and a deck that locks you in exactly where you should stand. Like every Appletree, it's full custom-grade carbon construction that shrugs off the knocks a prone board takes.
How it rides on the west coast
Small and slashy is the point. On our reef and beach-break foiling waves it whips through turns the bigger boards smear through, and the low volume makes duck-diving out the back dramatically easier. The trade: it needs a competent paddler — late take-offs and a bit of wave-reading are assumed. That's why our honest advice for improvers is the Midlength V2 comparison — lightest-wind and first-flights riders should read that before choosing.
Who it's for
Confident prone foilers, light-to-mid-weight wave riders, and anyone pairing it with a high-performance front wing — it's a dream match with the Code Foils S and X Series we stock as Ireland's only Code dealer. From €1,299, in stock in Galway — we're the west coast home of Appletree.
