Appletree Surfboards arrive at The SUP Company

Appletree is now part of The SUP Company’s board range. The Dutch-founded brand makes boards for a wide spread of foiling and surf disciplines, from light-wind winging and parawing through to downwind, prone surf foil and strapless kite surfing.

That matters because an Appletree board is usually shaped around a specific way of riding. The right choice depends on your discipline, experience, weight, local conditions and the foil you already use. Here’s a guide to the Appletree models currently listed with us and where each fits.

A board-making brand with its own construction approach

Appletree’s story began in the Netherlands, where founder Wieger Buurma started shaping boards in a shed and old caravan on the family apple orchard. The company later developed its own production process and moved board manufacturing to Portugal.

Appletree describes its foil boards as using a closed-cell foam core with carbon-fibre construction and vacuum infusion. The aim is a stiff, light board with a secure foil-mount area. In 2026, the brand also introduced Coat 25, a new finish intended to replace traditional epoxy hot coats. Our product selection includes different model generations and constructions, so check the individual listing for the exact specification rather than assuming every board has the latest finish.

Appletree boards at The SUP Company

Wing foiling and parawing

• Appletree Midlength V2: a long, narrow board for early take-off in light wind and efficient parawing. The current listing spans 37 to 107 litres. Its narrow platform rewards existing board skills; it is not the easy, wide option for a first wing foil session. Read our mid-length foil board guide.
• Appletree Appleslice V3: the current SUP Co listing is the 5’0 x 60L V3, a versatile wing board for riders progressing beyond a larger first board or looking for a board that can cover a range of sessions. Appletree has since introduced the Appleslice V4, so check the generation carefully when comparing specifications.
• Appletree Skipper Wing: a compact 4’10 x 55L shape for lighter or experienced riders who want a sinker-style board for carving, waves or a crossover prone-and-wing setup. Its small size is demanding if you are still learning to get onto foil.

Downwind foiling

• Appletree Skipper Downwind: the listed wide versions are 7’3 x 21.5” x 112L and 7’7 x 22.5” x 123L. They are for experienced riders looking for glide and paddle speed to catch open-water bumps, with the wider outline adding support compared with a narrower downwind shape. The foil and paddle are not included.
• Appletree Skipper Downwind Prone: a 5’9 x 57L mid-length option for experienced prone foilers wanting more paddle reach and glide than a compact surf foil board. It can also suit some wing and foil-assist crossover sessions, depending on the rider and setup.

For help understanding the discipline and the kit around it, read our downwind foiling guide.

Prone surf foiling

• Appletree Skipper Prone: compact 34L and 37L choices for experienced prone foilers prioritising a direct, manoeuvrable feel in waves.
• Appletree Pro Foil V2: the listed 4’6 x 33.4L shape is positioned for prone paddling, tow-in, small surf and wake foiling. It has a more all-round brief than the dedicated Skipper Prone. Check the listing for what is included; foil, straps and traction are separate unless stated.

Strapless kite surfing

• Appletree Applino V2 White Line: a lively, quick-turning board for strapless wave riding and freestyle. The 5’3 and 5’5 sizes suit different rider weights and preferences; use the listing as a starting point and consider your ability and usual conditions too.
• Appletree Klokhouse Noseless White Line: a 5’4 wave board with a more familiar surfboard feel and a shortened nose to reduce swing weight and make travel easier.

There is also an Appletree 9 Piece Full Deck Pad for compatible boards.

How to choose your first Appletree

• Choose by discipline first. A parawing mid-length, a prone surf foil board and a strapless kite surfboard solve different problems; they are not interchangeable just because they are all boards.
• Be realistic about experience. Small sinker boards and narrow downwind shapes can be excellent in the right hands but frustrating if your take-offs, balance or paddle technique are still developing.
• Check the full setup. Confirm foil-box compatibility, mast and fuselage hardware, strap inserts, pads, fins and what is included with that exact listing. A board-only price does not mean the foil setup is included.
• Match the board to your conditions. Think about typical wind strength, waves, local launch, water depth and whether you prioritise early flight, glide, stability or turning.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of boards does Appletree make?

Appletree makes boards for wing and parawing, downwind, prone surf foiling, kite surfing and other board sports. The exact models available at The SUP Company can change, so use the current product pages for listed sizes and specifications.

Is the Appletree Midlength V2 suitable for a beginner?

It is a long, narrow performance shape designed for light-wind winging and parawing efficiency. Its width and outline demand more balance than a broad first wing foil board. Choose it for the intended use and your existing skills, not simply because you want earlier take-off.

Is Appleslice V3 the latest Appleslice?

The product currently listed by The SUP Company is the Appleslice V3. Appletree has introduced the Appleslice V4, so compare the generation and specifications carefully before ordering.

Can I try an Appletree board before buying?

Possibly. Selected wing and foil products may be available through Try It Now at Lymington, subject to suitability, approval and demo stock. Contact us first to check the specific model.

Are the foil, wing or straps included?

Package contents vary. Many listings are board-only, so check each product page for the exact included items before placing your order.
