Appleslice Zapple Foil Drive Foil Board https://bigwinds.com/products/appleslice-zapple-foil-drive-foil-board/ https://bigwinds.com/products/appleslice-zapple-foil-drive-foil-board/#respond Sat, 01 Feb 2025 19:01:17 +0000 https://bigwinds.com/?post_type=product&p=98493 A fully Foil Drive compatible board that minimizes water turbulence, reduces drag, and positions the battery closer to riders for enhanced riding performance.

The post Appleslice Zapple Foil Drive Foil Board appeared first on Big Winds.

]]>

Zapple: Designed for Foil Drive!

The Zapple is a fully Foil Drive compatible board! Designed with help from the Foil Drive team, it fits the Foil Drive seamlessly to minimize water turbulence. Its recessed layout reduces drag and positions the battery weight closer to your feet, giving you greater control during tight turns and high-speed runs.

Key advantages of the Zapple

  1. Reduced Drag: The recess decreases surface area, significantly minimizing drag.

  2. Improved Weight Distribution: Positioning the battery closer to your feet enhances control, particularly in turns, by reducing the tendency of the weight to shift outward.

  3. Surface Skipping Capability: 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.

  4. Enhanced Foiling Performance: The reduced likelihood of the prop hitting the water improves flow during non-motorized foiling sessions.

  5. Extended Battery Life: Lower drag optimizes battery efficiency, enabling longer foiling sessions.

No more signal issues

The 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.

We 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. So 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!

Get away with riding a small board

The 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. The boards are essentially midlength models, with the foil placed quite far forward, this makes the extra length and volume less noticeable.

Easy battery replacement

Ensuring 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.

Foil Drive x Zapple
Appleslice Zapple Foil Drive Foil Board

Precision built

Our unique vacuum infusion technology we use on all our boards, allows us to make complex shapes with ease and ensure a very durable construction. 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.

Deck pad included

The 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.

AERO 3BS FUSELAGE OVERVIEW

WING / PRONE / KITE / PUMP / DOWNWIND / SUP / WINDSURF

For SLS & D/LAB Masts and all SLS Foils

Building upon the great feedback received from our 60cm Alu 3BS fuselage, we have decided to extend these improvements to our longer fuselages. We now have 66cm and 74cm AL 3BS fuselages replacing our previous carbon 68 and a 78cm fuselages.

Changing the construction to aluminium allows us to reduce the cross section of the fuselage, and by doing so, to reduce the drag generated by the fuselage. At the same time, we are also increasing the strength, whilst only increasing the weight by 2.5%. Our AL 3BS fuselages all feature a little recess at the rear for the stabilizer to sink into and help improve the hydrodynamics.

They also have big cut-outs where the front wing mount is located, to help lower the weight to a minimum. Sure, the new aluminium fuselages will require a bit more care and will need to be dismantled and washed with fresh water after each use, but we feel that the gain in performance is worth it!
