Appletree Appleslice V3

Appletree Appleslice V3 Wing Foil Board

The Appleslice has been one of our most popular foil boards for a while. It works so well. It has just been updated again and refined further to keep up with developments in foils. The Appleslice V3 is longer and narrower helping you track in a straighter line and pick up speed quicker, therefore helping you get going earlier. This shape is also great when up and riding with the narrower shape making it harder to clip the board on the water. This is one of our top picks!

Appleslice V3: the most versatile wing foil board

Introducing the latest and greatest Appletree, The Appleslice V3, the most versatile wing foil board! Whether you’re ready to upgrade your ride, get your first board, or looking to fine tune your wave riding- and freestyle skills, the Appleslice V3 has what you need. From beginner to advanced rider the V3 is perfect for advancing your riding skills, it’s shaped for progression.

Key design features 

Narrow and longer! Plus better low wind performance. The optimised rocker ensures super easy touch downs and early planning. We keep this “long and narrow” theme  in the whole size range. So also with the bigger sized Slice’s, you can carve hard. Now also bigger riders can experience the same performance as lighter riders due to the finely tuned dimensions of each board in the size range.

This new version of the Appleslice draws inspiration from the faster Skipper downwind and wing models Appletree makes. These shapes are longer with a smoother bottom contour to help water flow more efficiently so the board reaches top speed quicker.

The bottom starts with a displacement hull design which forces the water to the sides. It helps the board come to the surface quicker in the low volume sinker sizes. After the displacement hull the bottom flows into a flatter middle section, which makes the Appleslice V3 much more stable than the Skipper boards.

We pulled up the hard rail edge much further up towards the nose which helps with water release and taking off in lighter winds. When you hit the wave with the rail of the board the Appleslice V3 hardly slows down. To further help with wave performance, the tail of the V3 is quite a bit narrower than the previous version, this helps with the ability to turn in waves.

The top rail has a small radius which gives it a nice wide platform on the deck, also this harder rail makes the board easier to grab.
