What Appletree say:
Full efficiency for early flight
The Midlength V2 is the refined evolution of our original Skipper Midlength, optimized for Parawing and light-wind Wing conditions.
With its refined shape, the Midlength V2 is designed to deliver the maximum efficiency, helping you get on foil sooner, with less effort, and with improved high-end performance.
Whether you are parawinging or wing foiling in light-wind conditions, this board is built to optimize your performance. Its longer and narrower outline, combined with technical precision, ensures effortless takeoffs, faster acceleration, and seamless touchdown recovery.
The V2 Evolution
The Midlength V2 introduces technical updates that you’ll feel from the first ride:
- Narrower and Longer Outline: We’ve narrowed the width by about an inch, and pulled the bottom rail line inward by one inch on each side. This reduces surface area to minimize drag, allowing for a cleaner release and faster acceleration.
- Continuous Rocker: A smoother, balanced curve with a less pronounced nose kick. This promotes steady speed and provides a consistent platform for adjusting your stance without disrupting water flow.
- Nose-Up Trim: By repositioning the foil box, we’ve created a natural nose-up trim. Combined with increased front-end volume, this keeps the nose high during starts and offers more lift margin at speed.
- Seamless Touchdown Recovery: A refined, rounded V that blends into a subtle flat section near the boxes. This sharper release at the rails reduces drag during touchdowns and pumping, helping you regain speed instantly.
- Advanced Volume Distribution: Provides a lower center of gravity and a “connected” feel, redistributing volume toward the front for added stability during the launch.
Who it’s for
The Midlength V2 is a specialized efficiency tool. It’s built for Intermediate to Advanced riders who want to spend less time struggling to get up and more time on the foil, especially with lower wind conditions.
- Parawing Riders: If you’ve got the “stash and fly” workflow down, this board provides the instant acceleration needed to bridge the gap between sitting and flying.
- Light-Wind Wingers: The narrow hull reduces drag so much that you can fly with a much smaller wing than you’d expect.
- Downwing Riders: While the Midlength V2 was specifically engineered for peak Parawing performance, its longer and narrower shape acts as a specialized efficiency tool for generating board speed with minimal power. This has also made it a top choice for Downwind foiling, especially in the larger sizes.
Choosing your size:
- Smaller Sizes: Perfect for experienced Parawing riders seeking maximum maneuverability and high-performance flight.
- Mid Sizes: Optimized for intermediate to experienced Parawing and Wing riders. Designed for those who like dynamic starts and remain agile and responsive in flight.
- Larger Sizes: Ideal for light-wind Wing sessions, intermediate Parawing riders, and Downwind foiling, providing excellent efficiency and lift, making it easy to fly in low-power conditions.
Midlength V2 vs. Appleslice V4
While the Appleslice V4 remains our most versatile wing board for progression, offering larger sizes that are stable and beginner-friendly, and smaller sizes for high performance, the Midlength V2 is a more specialized performance tool.
Refined for Parawing and maximum light-wind efficiency, the V2 is focused on helping you perform at a higher level. Its longer, narrower outline ensures effortless takeoffs and faster acceleration, allowing you to get the absolute best out of every session.
About Appletree
