High-Performance Boards Built to Last

Founded in 2016 by brothers Wieger and Jorrit Buurma, the company started in a shed on their family's apple tree farm in Holland. They moved to a factory in Rijswijk, then to Portugal in 2019 for more space and better testing. Dedicated to sustainability, Appletree creates long-lasting boards and runs an eco-friendly factory. Their unique process involves CNC-machined foam shapes, hand-finished by expert craftsmen, and vacuum-injected with fiber layers. Recognized by Sustainable Surf, their Eco boards combine high performance with a reduced environmental impact.

Foil Drive have been riding Appletree Boards for some time now and we really love the craftsmanship, detail and passion behind the brand (Bonus points for office dog Sjef).

Zapple

MEET THE ZAPPLE

MEET THE ZAPPLE

The Zapple, designed in collaboration with the Foil Drive and Appletree to seamlessly integrate with the Foil Drive Gen 2, setting a new benchmark for (battery) efficiency, control, and performance on the water.

The Zapple’s recessed layout and streamlined design have been purpose-built to minimize water turbulence and drag whilst increasing control and responsiveness. The sleek design minimizes surface area, significantly cutting down drag for a smoother, more efficient ride. With the battery weight positioned closer to your feet, the Zapple feels incredibly balanced and almost unnoticeable, making turns more intuitive and allowing you to focus on enjoying the ride.

The Zapple comes in three sizes - 38 litres, 46 litres and 54 litres.

Effortless Surface Skipping

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.

Improved Foiling Dynamics

The reduced likelihood of the prop hitting the water improves flow during non-motorized foiling, giving you the best chance at smooth glides and long rides.

Extended Battery Life

Less drag means better efficiency, so you can foil longer on a single charge—more time on the water, less time recharging.
