Introducing the Zapple S Riift Foil Assist Board
18.09.2026
For some time now, we’ve been working closely behind the scenes with RIIFT. As they prepare to officially launch their innovative power system, we’re proud to reveal the board engineered specifically to unlock its full potential: the Zapple S Riift.
We built this board from the ground up around RIIFT’s hardware. The result is a fully integrated setup that eliminates drag, maximizes energy efficiency, and keeps the pure, direct feel of prone foiling intact.
Check out the video below where Wieger breaks down all the technical details of this new board and explains how the pre-order system works:
Our main objective was seamless hydrodynamics. Because we engineered dedicated internal tracks directly into the core, the RIIFT battery sits completely flush inside the board.
- Zero drag hydrodynamics: Smooth bottom contours allow water to glide cleanly underfoot for effortless paddling and instant takeoff.
- Direct Control: Positioned flush and centered over the foil, the setup maintains a low swing weight and responsive carving.
- Specialized signal window: An integrated wireless window near the nose ensures an uninterrupted connection with your controller.
Thin vs. thick profile options
RIIFT will be launching three different battery options to suit various session lengths and styles. To match these battery setups and different rider preferences, the Zapple S Riift comes in two dedicated board thicknesses:
Thin Profile (2P Battery Exclusive)
Built for maximum connectivity, minimum swing weight, and high-performance wave riding. It fits the 2P (519 Wh) battery only.
Available Sizes: 4’4” (24.5L) | 4’6” (26L) | 4’8” (28L)
Thick Profile (2P / 3P / 4P Compatible)
Designed for extended range, higher volume needs, and maximum versatility. It accommodates the larger 3P (778 Wh) and 4P (1037 Wh) batteries, as well as the 2P using the included filler block.
Available Sizes: 4’6” (35L) | 4’8” (38L) | 4’10” (40L) | 5’0” (43L)
Pre-Order & Delivery Details
We closely coordinate production with RIIFT hardware availability so you can secure your board from the initial release batch.
For the initial launch, pre-orders are available in our standard shapes and sizes only, with the option to choose a custom color. Custom board shapes and sizes are not available for this run.
Deliveries begin November 2026, which perfectly aligns with the dispatch of RIIFT motor and battery kits.
