Understanding that advanced riders are eager for cutting edge performance, we’ve designed the Apple Skipper wing to deliver just that. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSkipper concept\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Skipper wing is part of the Skipper concept of boards. 4 boards with the same design language, but tuned for the specific needs of each discipline. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Skipper concept revolves around a new hull concept. The boards are thin throughout, giving a connected feel to the foil. Under the front foot, the bottom features a unique “bulge” that actually sits slightly lower than the foil box.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis bulge displaces water upon touchdown and it makes the board “skip” back up. Ideal for foam bashes and more radical wing foiling in the surf. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTight turns in the pocket\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe outline of the board is narrower and longer than the Jazz and the Slice V2. This makes the board still relatively easy to ride and the narrow tail especially makes it perfect for tight turns in the pocket and harder carves. Without the risk of the rail touching the water and slowing you down. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bottom is fairly rounded and lacks a flat section. This makes the board harder to get to planing speed, but on the upside it releases better. The Skipper-wing is definitely not a beginner shape. It has been designed with the needs of experienced riders in mind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth transition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe teardrop shape, especially in the tail, makes the board release so well on touchdown and when you start to go on to foil, that you hardly notice the transition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is also more rocker in the boards bottom, while keeping the deck as flat as possible. This helps sticking landings and it forces the board up when starting up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUniversal Foil tracks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe foil boxes are placed slightly forward and they feature the all new Appletree long boxes for more foil placement flexibility.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe angle between the foil boxes and the deck\/standing area is 0 degrees, meaning that the mast will sit at 90 degrees. This angle, combined with the long tracks make the board compatible with all foils on the market. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is no longer a need to move foil boxes to match certain foils. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover board\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe lineup in the Skipper wing is compact throughout. Starting at a 4’8” in 45L This is one step up from the Skipper-prone series, so the Wing range basically picks up where the prone version ends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bigger prone sizes and the smaller wing sizes of the Skipper make great crossover boards that you can use for both wing and prone surf foil. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLighter and advanced riders\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeal for lighter and advanced riders. Sizes up do not go up much in length, but more in thickness to gain volume. Stock sizes are 4’8 to 5’2 and 45L to 75L. The maximum size is 75L as the board is purely designed as a sinker style board.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you are looking for a board that floats your weight, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/newrock.surf\/products\/appletree-jazz-freestyle-wing-foil-board\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/newrock.surf\/products\/appletree-appleslice-v2-wing-foil-board\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSlice V2\u003c\/a\u003e are better options.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\n.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2U_r-i7y-L4\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Appletree","offers":[{"title":"SKW55 \/ 4'10 x 55L","offer_id":52841872228694,"sku":"SKW55","price":1235.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"SKW60 \/ 4'11 x 60L","offer_id":52841872261462,"sku":"SKW60","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"SKW65 \/ 5'0 x 65L","offer_id":52841872294230,"sku":"SKW65","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"SKW75 \/ 5'2 x 75L","offer_id":52841872326998,"sku":"SKW75","price":1349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/1914\/0950\/files\/Skipper-wing-deck.png?v=1773660080","url":"https:\/\/slacktidefoilclub.com\/products\/appletree-skipper-wing-foil-board","provider":"Slack Tide Foil Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
