Its recessed layout reduces drag and keeps the battery weight closer to your feet, giving you greater control during tight turns and high-speed runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 90px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 21.7241%; height: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZapple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 19.4253%; height: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 31.3793%; height: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 24.2529%; height: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 21.7241%; height: 18px;\"\u003e5’0”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 19.4253%; height: 18px;\"\u003e18.5”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 31.3793%; height: 18px;\"\u003e3.3”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 24.2529%; height: 18px;\"\u003e38L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 21.7241%; height: 18px;\"\u003e5’4”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 19.4253%; height: 18px;\"\u003e18.5”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 31.3793%; height: 18px;\"\u003e3.8”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 24.2529%; height: 18px;\"\u003e46L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 21.7241%; height: 18px;\"\u003e5’8”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 19.4253%; height: 18px;\"\u003e19.5”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 31.3793%; height: 18px;\"\u003e3.9”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 24.2529%; height: 18px;\"\u003e54L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 21.7241%; height: 18px;\"\u003e6'0\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 19.4253%; height: 18px;\"\u003e20.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 31.3793%; height: 18px;\"\u003e4.0\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 24.2529%; height: 18px;\"\u003e62L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduced Drag\u003c\/strong\u003e: The recess decreases surface area, significantly minimizing drag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproved Weight Distribution\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positioning the battery closer to your feet enhances control, particularly in turns, by reducing the tendency of the weight to shift outward.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Skipping Capability\u003c\/strong\u003e: When motoring back to the lineup, the board can skim across the water without the battery box causing drag, allowing for smoother rides and higher prop placement on the mast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Foiling Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: The reduced likelihood of the prop hitting the water improves flow during non-motorized foiling sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Battery Life\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lower drag optimizes battery efficiency, enabling longer foiling sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zapple Stock comes with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoil Drive Signal Window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull black EVA deck pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Appletree long foil boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA matte finish, in clear carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNo more signal issues\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zapple effectively tackles one of the most common challenges: signal interruptions caused by water and carbon fiber. The Zapple has an advanced signal optimization, eliminating interruptions, even in demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGet away with riding a small board\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zapple is available in three sizes: 38L, 46L and 54L. With the added power you can get away with riding a very small board. But the bigger sizes also make sense, as they make getting up in the flats easier and also will provide this extra security when doing downwinders far out at sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boards are essentially midlength models, with the foil placed quite far forward, this makes the extra length and volume less noticeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEasy battery replacement\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsuring the trench is fully compatible with the Foil Drive battery was an obvious choice, as it eliminates voids that cause drag and drain battery energy. To add convenience, the Foil Drive team has developed special barrel bolts, making battery replacement as straightforward as on a board without a trench. Easy and seamless.

We did a big test with all our board models and the Foil Drive, and we found that our 2024 midlength prone boards worked the best, by a long shot. So those were the starting points to add the recess to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIncluding a deck pad\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zapple comes with comfortable pads with plenty of grip and a kick tail so you can feel where you are on the board. Inserts for straps are available as a custom option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e50K CLOSED CELL FOAM\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all starts with the core and every board we make starts with a foam core of our very own 50K closed cell foam. This foam is formalized exclusively for us, it is not used in any other board in the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam can withstand 50.000 kg per square meter, while staying very light, and most of all very flexible. Another plus of our 50K foam is that it is closed cell, meaning that the foam will not take in water, and the board will not blow out when it gets hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e100% CARBON FIBER CONSTRUCTION\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll our foil boards are produced in our 100% carbon fiber construction. You want carbon fiber in a foil board for its stiffness and strength. A stiff board will give you the best control and response from the foil. Also stiffness will make pumping the foil much more effective. With carbon fiber we are able to make the board extremely strong while really light at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most stress in a foil board is in the connection of the foil to the board. So this is where we put extra care and attention to make it the strongest connection available. The foil mount is CNC cut with the board, for the highest precision. We only use FUTURES oneshot boxes as they are the strongest in the industry. The boxes are placed in a panel of ultra high density PET honeycomb. This PET honeycomb itself is sandwiched in carbon again. Meaning there is carbon fiber both inside the board and outside. The honeycombs open structure ensures a solid connection between inside and outside, fusing everything together into a solid block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur lamination is completely different as well. We use a vacuum technique developed in house, where we layer all the carbon fiber, and reinforcements on the board dry. Then we extract all the air from the bag and inject the epoxy resin under pressure. This results in the tightest lamination possible, with the best ration between fiber and epoxy. It also gives 100% connection to the core so the boards do not delaminate. Extra patches under the feet prevent heel denting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInserts in our foil range are made from blocks of high density material. And can be customized position wise. These blocks are also fused to the core so they never pull out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- snippet location product_description --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Appletree Surfboards","offers":[{"title":"5'0\"","offer_id":49061997871321,"sku":"2246100","price":405400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"5'4\"","offer_id":49061997904089,"sku":"2246101","price":415800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"5'8\"","offer_id":49061997936857,"sku":"2246102","price":426200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"6'0\"","offer_id":49061997969625,"sku":"2246103","price":436600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/3699\/1449\/files\/zapple_bottom__19393.1739373424.png?v=1786199376","url":"https:\/\/foil-import.jp\/products\/22461","provider":"Foil-Import","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
