🆕 Just released — brand new from Appletree, and we're one of the first shops in Europe to carry it.

The ultimate board to start foiling — and the easiest way into Foil Drive. Appletree built the BIG Zapple for three kinds of rider: first-time foilers who want maximum stability, foil schools that need a board that survives lesson after lesson, and families who want one board everyone can progress on. Big volume, a wide stable outline, and Appletree's bombproof EU-built construction.

  • Made to learn on: refined outline and volume distribution for stable, forgiving starts — the fastest way from kneeling to flying
  • Foil Drive ready: recessed trench and extended FUTURES oneshot foil boxes give a seamless, zero-drag connection with a Foil Drive unit, plus a signal window in the nose for uninterrupted connectivity
  • Built to last: vacuum-infused Carbon-Glass-HEX-SKIN layup over a 50K closed-cell waterproof foam core — reinforced deck, PET honeycomb box panels, and it won't drink water even when dinged
  • 3mm EVA traction pad with kicktail; custom colours available on request

Sizes: 5'2" × 21.5" (65L) · 5'5" × 23" (75L) · 5'7" × 24" (85L) · 5'9" × 25" (95L) · 6'0" × 26" (110L). From €1,849 — built to order from the Netherlands; WhatsApp us for lead times, sizing advice or a custom build. Pair it with a Code foil and you've got the easiest learning platform we sell — see it in context on our Foiling Ireland guide and read why the trench design matters.
