2026 Appletree Mid Length V2

Full efficiency for early flight

Sizes: 5'2" / 5'4" / 5'7" / 5'10" / 6'1" / 6'5" / 6'9" / 7'1"

What Appletree has to say:

The Midlength V2 is the refined evolution of our original Skipper Midlength, optimized for Parawing and light-wind Wing conditions.

With its refined shape, the Midlength V2 is designed to deliver the maximum efficiency, helping you get on foil sooner, with less effort, and with improved high-end performance. 

Whether you are parawinging or wing foiling in light-wind conditions, this board is built to optimize your performance. Its longer and narrower outline, combined with technical precision, ensures effortless takeoffs, faster acceleration, and seamless touchdown recovery.

The V2 Evolution

The Midlength V2 introduces technical updates that you’ll feel from the first ride:

• Narrower and Longer Outline: We’ve narrowed the width by about an inch, and pulled the bottom rail line inward by one inch on each side. This reduces surface area to minimize drag, allowing for a cleaner release and faster acceleration.
• Continuous Rocker: A smoother, balanced curve with a less pronounced nose kick. This promotes steady speed and provides a consistent platform for adjusting your stance without disrupting water flow.
• Nose-Up Trim: By repositioning the foil box, we’ve created a natural nose-up trim. Combined with increased front-end volume, this keeps the nose high during starts and offers more lift margin at speed.
• Seamless Touchdown Recovery: A refined, rounded V that blends into a subtle flat section near the boxes. This sharper release at the rails reduces drag during touchdowns and pumping, helping you regain speed instantly.
• Advanced Volume Distribution: Provides a lower center of gravity and a “connected” feel, redistributing volume toward the front for added stability during the launch.

Who It's For:

The Midlength V2 is a specialized efficiency tool. It’s built for Intermediate to Advanced riders who want to spend less time struggling to get up and more time on the foil, especially with lower wind conditions.

• Parawing Riders: If you’ve got the “stash and fly” workflow down, this board provides the instant acceleration needed to bridge the gap between sitting and flying.
• Light-Wind Wingers: The narrow hull reduces drag so much that you can fly with a much smaller wing than you’d expect.
• Downwing Riders: While the Midlength V2 was specifically engineered for peak Parawing performance, its longer and narrower shape acts as a specialized efficiency tool for generating board speed with minimal power. This has also made it a top choice for Downwind foiling, especially in the larger sizes.

Choosing Your Size:

• Smaller Sizes: Perfect for experienced Parawing riders seeking maximum maneuverability and high-performance flight. 
• Mid Sizes:  Optimized for intermediate to experienced Parawing and Wing riders. Designed for those who like dynamic starts and remain agile and responsive in flight.
• Larger Sizes: Ideal for light-wind Wing sessions, intermediate Parawing riders, and Downwind foiling, providing excellent efficiency and lift, making it easy to fly in low-power conditions.

Midlength V2 vs. Appleslice V4

While the Appleslice V4 remains our most versatile wing board for progression, offering larger sizes that are stable and beginner-friendly, and smaller sizes for high performance, the Midlength V2 is a more specialized performance tool.

Refined for Parawing and maximum light-wind efficiency, the V2 is focused on helping you perform at a higher level. Its longer, narrower outline ensures effortless takeoffs and faster acceleration, allowing you to get the absolute best out of every session.

Construction:

50K CLOSED CELL FOAM

It 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.

The 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.

100% CARBON FIBER CONSTRUCTION

All 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.

The 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.

Our 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.

Inserts 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.
