TFS prone foil board
Appletree X The Foil Shop collaboration board!
We are proud to present our collaboration board with The Foil Shop in Seal Beach California.
These guys have been on the forefront of the foiling scene in California from the start of the sport. They have a wealth of knowledge in the sport, plus the personal foil skills to match! All they needed now was to have their own shape in an unbeatable construction. So when they approached us to make them a special board in their specs, we were happy to do that!
TFS Prone Foil Board
The board is a fairly straight forward shape that just works. Its volume distribution is very balanced with the most volume right under your chest. This helps with easy paddling and helps you catch just about any wave.
A narrow pulled in tail helps with hard carves without hitting the rail when you lay the board over. A flat deck provides tons of stability while paddling as well as when up on foil.
This board comes exclusively in 2 sizes, a 4’7″ at 37,5L and a 4’10” at 42L.
The 37,5L has a YELLOW taildip and the 42L an ORANGE tail dip as standard, included in the price.
The boards are available on order only. At Appletree we do not hold stock. The Foil Shop will keep these boards in stock, so if you order one through them, it should be available fast!
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.
