Appletree Skipper Short – Kite/Wake/Dock Foil Board
| 14L | Built to order, about 8 weeks |
| 18.4L | Built to order, about 8 weeks |
Kite foil, wake foil, tow-in foil and dock start. The Apple Skipper Short is the shortest board in Appletree's Skipper range — a small, narrow pocket board for experienced riders chasing high performance. Thin throughout for a connected feel, with the Skipper "bulge" under the front foot that makes the board skip back up off the water on touchdown.
- Small, narrow and seriously stiff — carve hard and crank tight turns
- Featherlight at just 2.5–2.8kg for minimal swing weight
- Takes off like a rocket and keeps its speed through touchdowns
- Strap inserts as standard with a grippy EVA kicktail deck pad

Why buy from us
Everything we sell is gear we ride ourselves on Galway Bay. New gear is checked over before it leaves us. Ex-demo and ex-instructor gear is inspected, pumped up and photographed so you can see the actual item before you commit.
Galway stock can be collected the same day from the trailer at Silverstrand or in Barna. Everything else is delivered anywhere in Ireland, free over €200, and we'll give you an honest delivery date on WhatsApp before you order.
Book a demo day, ride the gear in real Irish conditions, and if you buy within 30 days the demo fee comes off the price. Lessons and demos are run by Ireland's only BKSA-recognised kite school.
