No more signal issues

The Zapple effectively tackles one of the most common challenges: signal interruptions caused by water and carbon fiber.  The Zapple has an advanced signal optimization, eliminating interruptions, even in demanding conditions.

We designed a special nose for the Zapple, acting as a “signal window”. The antenna for the Foil Drive is located in line with the track, to help the signal pass into the board, so make sure the foam strips provided with your Foil Drive kit are packed in there, to avoid signal blocking by water. So as long as you have at least a part of the nose above the water and you pack the track with foam there should be zero issues!

Get away with riding a small board

The Zapple is available in three sizes: 38L, 46L and 54L. With the added power you can get away with riding a very small board. But the bigger sizes also make sense, as they make getting up in the flats easier and also will provide this extra security when doing downwinders far out at sea. The boards are essentially midlength models, with the foil placed quite far forward, this makes the extra length and volume less noticeable.

Easy battery replacement

Ensuring the trench is fully compatible with the Foil Drive battery was an obvious choice, as it eliminates voids that cause drag and drain battery energy. To add convenience, the Foil Drive team has developed special barrel bolts, making battery replacement as straightforward as on a board without a trench. Easy and seamless.
