Appletree Malus Domestica Kite Surfboard
The Malus has that wide tail and parallel rail shape which makes it fly upwind. It is also super stable for landing jumps or airs whilst more than capable of smacking some waves. This board is really practical for UK onshore and cross shore conditions.

Triple concave chop destroyer
Meet the Malus Domestica! Appletree’s allround kiteboard for small waves and freestyle. It eats anything you throw at it.
The Malus Domestica is the product of a long search for the perfect crossover for guys who ride freestyle a lot, but sometimes find a wave to smash. The wider tail template and parallel rails make it very easy to ride. With a lot of direct response and it goes upwind like no other. The wider platform is stable to stick the hardest tricks and landings. The bottom features a unique triple concave, this makes the board very stable upwind and through chop and it prevents the board from sliding out landing sideways.

Key board features
Triple concave
The extreme bottom contour gives the Malus Domestica quite an appearance. But this is not where the board started. When designing a board, we first try to find the best combination of rocker, outline and rails. Only when we have this balance right, we add stuff like crazy tails and bottoms to make the board better. And more exciting!
Thin rails
The deep concaves on the rail give the board great stability when riding upwind. The bottom follows the deck contour, making the effective rail thinner and better through chops, without making the board itself too thin.
Effective surface
The concaves cut the rocker in the middle of the bottom, this creates a super effective surface for the water to pass underneath. Making the board really fast and early planing. Make sure to move your feet to the front when riding upwind and to the back when initiating a turn.
5 fin boxes
The Malus Domestica comes with 5 fin boxes as standard, giving you the choice of riding quad or thruster
About Appletree
What started in a shed on an apple tree farm in the Netherlands by two brothers has now become the leading brand for kite surf boards and foil boards. They have expanded and built a dedicated production facility in Portugal. Their secret is their proprietary 50k closed cell foam which they use in all their boards. This is light, flexible, durable and waterproof. Together with their hex skin glass or carbon finish, it makes for a bombproof board.
