Reviewing the Appletree Appleslice V3 and Skipper Prone DW Wing and Surf Foil Boards

In this segment of "Wing Wednesdays," Tucker and Mr. Jeff from MACkite discuss two new models from Appletree Surfboards: the Appleslice V3 and the Skipper Prone boards. The Appleslice V3 is designed for wing foiling, while the Skipper Downwind Prone is primarily for surf foiling.

Appleslice V3

Design and Features: The Appleslice V3 is highlighted for its modernized dimensions and shape. It's a longer and narrower board compared to previous models, providing increased front-to-back stability and a smoother ride. The low entry rocker and streamlined tail design help with acceleration and clean release off the water.

Application: This board is versatile, potentially serving as a single board quiver if sized correctly. It's suitable for various wind conditions, although it might require sizing up for lighter winds.

User Experience: The board offers stability due to its length, making it easier to balance and maneuver, especially for kneeling starts. It also features a concave deck for better foot placement and control.

Customization and Durability: Constructed with high-density closed cell foam and 100% carbon, the board is durable and can be customized in terms of color. It’s designed to withstand impacts without absorbing water.

Skipper DW Prone

Design and Features: The Skipper Downwind Prone is aimed at prone foiling and downwind paddling. It has a longer and narrower shape, promoting faster paddling and easier wave entry.

Application: While primarily for prone foiling, the Skipper Prone can also be used for wing foiling, foil drive, and even wake foiling. Its efficiency in water makes it suitable for smaller, faster foils.

User Experience: This board is recommended for more experienced riders due to its lower volume. Its design provides the speed needed for smaller foils, making it ideal for conditions where lift and acceleration are crucial.
Versatility: The Skipper Prone is a multipurpose board, though more niche compared to the Appleslice V3. It’s suitable for intermediate to advanced riders looking for a crossover between prone and wing foiling.
