Majek Beta

Appletree x Glenn Pang

Appletree Surfboards is proud to present our shaper collaboration with Majek foilboards from Oahu Hawaii. Majek boards are designed by legendary northshore shaper Glenn Pang, who has been shaping high end surfboards for the world’s best surfers for years. He has now turned (part) of his attention to foiling and this hasn’t gone unnoticed. You can see his boards under the feet of many great foilers and surfers.

Beta prone foil board

The Beta prone foil board is the next step in performance from the Alpha model. Geared for more of an advanced rider.

Here is what Glenn Pang, the shaper of all the Majek boards, has to say about the model:

Both the Alpha and the Beta have the same rocker. It has a slight rocker in the tail, so it’s not totally flat. The Beta has a slight double concave in the nose which helps with early take offs. It has a slightly wider nose compared to the Alpha which adds more volume up front also helping with paddling and wave catching. The tail is a little narrower than the Alpha which lessens the touching of the tail area when putting the board on rail. Overall the Beta compared to the Alpha will drive through the turns more and carry more speed. Overall the Beta is a worthy successor to the Alpha. 

All the Majek boards are made in our tried and tested full carbon composite construction. Featuring Appletree’s own waterproof foam core and longer custom foil boxes, giving you plenty of room to play with the position of the foil.

Majek boards come in clear carbon and without inserts/deck pad as standard. They are made to order.

FOIL CONSTRUCTION

 

50K CLOSED CELL FOAM

It all starts with the core and every board we make starts with a foam core of our very own 50K closed cell foam. This foam is formalized exclusively for us, it is not used in any other board in the market.

The foam can withstand 50.000 kg per square meter, while staying very light, and most of all very flexible. Another plus of our 50K foam is that it is closed cell, meaning that the foam will not take in water, and the board will not blow out when it gets hot.

 

100% CARBON FIBER CONSTRUCTION

All our foil boards are produced in our 100% carbon fiber construction. You want carbon fiber in a foil board for its stiffness and strength. A stiff board will give you the best control and response from the foil. Also stiffness will make pumping the foil much more effective. With carbon fiber we are able to make the board extremely strong while really light at the same time.

The most stress in a foil board is in the connection of the foil to the board. So this is where we put extra care and attention to make it the strongest connection available. The foil mount is CNC cut with the board, for the highest precision. We only use FUTURES oneshot boxes as they are the strongest in the industry.  The boxes are placed in a panel of ultra high density PET honeycomb. This PET honeycomb itself is sandwiched in carbon again. Meaning there is carbon fiber both inside the board and outside. The honeycombs open structure ensures a solid connection between inside and outside, fusing everything together into a solid block.

Our lamination is completely different as well. We use a vacuum technique developed in house, where we layer all the carbon fiber, and reinforcements on the board dry. Then we extract all the air from the bag and inject the epoxy resin under pressure. This results in the tightest lamination possible, with the best ration between fiber and epoxy. It also gives 100% connection to the core so the boards do not delaminate. Extra patches under the feet prevent heel denting.

Inserts in our foil range are made from blocks of high density material. And can be customized position wise. These blocks are also fused to the core so they never pull out.
