You'll experience direct connectivity and zero-drag performance when setting up with the Appletree Zapple S RIIFT Board. Designed specifically around the internal housing track of the Riift system, this foil assist board lets you downsize significantly compared to traditional setups. You can carve hard and maintain immediate board-to-foil response with its low swing weight and dedicated profile options. Whether paddling into steep waves or maximizing session time on lower volume, you'll feel completely connected through every turn. The specialized signal window ensures your wireless controller maintains a solid link so you can focus entirely on your ride.

What Appletree has to say:

The Zapple S Riift is a high-performance foil assist board, developed specifically to integrate seamlessly with the Riift system. Born from months of collaboration with Riift and refined through extensive testing, we arrived at a shape fully optimized for high-performance assist foiling.

Designed around the internal housing track of the Riift system, this board and system combination delivers smooth water flow with zero drag. Combined with the power of the Riift drive, riders can downsize significantly, riding much smaller, lower-volume boards than previously possible on traditional assist setups.

Who is this for?

Advanced riders (4’4” – 4’8” Thin / 4’6” Thick) seeking minimal volume, low swing weight, and carving sensitivity in steeper waves will thrive on this setup.

Intermediate riders (4’6” – 4’8” Thick) looking for a balance of compact performance, easier paddle entry, and longer runtimes with 3P or 4P battery setups will find this shape ideal.

Beginner riders (4’10” – 5’0” Thick) who want extra volume for stability, easy touch-downs, and forgiving takeoffs will get the most out of their time on the water while mastering an assist system.

Design Profile:

A dedicated foil assist shape featuring flush internal battery tracks, zero-drag hydrodynamics, and tailored thickness profiles for the Riift system.

Performance Features:

• Integrated Riift Track built to house the battery completely flush inside the hull.
• Zero-drag hydrodynamics for effortless release and smooth paddling.
• Thin and thick profile options tailored to specific battery sizes and rider experience.
• Built-in wireless signal window in the nose for reliable controller connectivity.
• Sizing efficiency that allows riders to ride lower volume boards.

Design Features:

• Integrated Riift Track - Built with dedicated internal tracks to house the Riift battery completely flush inside the hull.
• Zero-Drag Hydrodynamics - The fully integrated setup ensures smooth water flow and zero drag underfoot, providing effortless release and smooth paddling.
• Ultra-Connected Feel - Thin profile options deliver a direct, highly responsive feel for sharp carving and control while riding.
• Specialized “Signal Window” - A built-in wireless signal window in the nose to ensure an uninterrupted, reliable connection with your controller.
• High-Power Sizing Efficiency - Leverages the power of the Riift system, enabling riders to downsize significantly and perform on much smaller board volumes.
• Thin vs. Thick Profile Options - Engineered in two dedicated board thickness options: Thin Version (2P Battery Only) for connectivity and low swing weight, and Thick Version (2P / 3P / 4P Compatible) with a deeper box to accommodate larger battery configurations.

Tech Specs:

• 50K Closed Cell Foam - Exclusive foam core formulated to withstand 50,000 kg per square meter while remaining lightweight and flexible. Closed cell construction prevents water absorption and heat blowout.
• 100% Carbon Fiber Construction - Stiff carbon fiber build delivers direct control, quick response, and efficient pumping.
• FUTURES Oneshot Boxes - CNC cut with the board for precision and set into an ultra-high density PET honeycomb panel sandwiched between internal and external carbon layers.
• Vacuum Injection Lamination - Dry carbon fiber and reinforcements are vacuum-sealed before epoxy resin is injected under pressure, creating a tight bond that prevents delamination.
• Reinforced Deck & Inserts - Extra carbon patches underfoot protect against heel denting, while high-density material insert blocks are fused directly to the core.
