Appletree Skipper Downwind V2
Dual Rocker Design
At the core of the redesign is a completely updated bottom shape. Version 2 features sharper rail lines and a unique dual-rocker configuration: a curved rail rocker for increased foil angle control, and a straighter, extended centerline that enhances planing and lift.
These two rocker lines merge mid-board to create a flatter, more efficient section that makes initiating movement easier — even before the board touches the water. Compared to Version 1, this results in significantly better pumping and glide performance.
Sharpened Rails, Freer Tail
The rail profile has been completely rethought. The new harder rail tracks slightly more but offers a far better release, with cleaner touchpoints — particularly important during touchdowns. The outer rail curve rises more steeply toward the tail, freeing it up and giving the board a more dynamic, responsive feel.
A sharper nose rail further improves lift in the front, which allowed us to narrow and lengthen the board without compromising performance. For durability and function, the V2 now comes with rail tape, an additional bottom layer, and a new tapered edge running from the foil box toward the tail.
Deck Upgrades for Control & Drainage
A new "spoiler" shape toward the tail enhances drainage, while the standing zone features a front concave that channels water to the rear exit channels. Internally, the pump zone is reinforced with a hex-skin plate — making this the stiffest deck we've ever built.
Lighter, Stronger Build
Despite using slightly heavier 50K closed-cell foam, we've managed to reduce the board's overall weight significantly by applying a super-light finish. The result is a lighter, more competitive downwind board that sits low over the foil, with extra volume packed in toward the rear — without increasing overall thickness.
Construction
50K Closed Cell Foam — Our proprietary foam core can withstand 50,000 kg per square meter while remaining light and flexible. As a closed-cell foam it will not absorb water or blow out in heat.
100% Carbon Fiber — All foil boards are produced in our full carbon fiber construction for maximum stiffness, strength, and pump efficiency. The foil mount is CNC cut with the board and uses FUTURES oneshot boxes set in ultra high density PET honeycomb, sandwiched in carbon on both sides.
