The capacitor is identical to the Emissary except for the nose of the board being laminated with S-Glass fiber and a black pigmented epoxy over its closed cell core rather than carbon fiber.

With the unexpected success of the Flux in the FoilDrive community, we've had the chance to learn from this dedicated community of riders. We believe the smaller sizes of the Emissary build on and refine what has made the Flux an outstanding option when paired with a Foildrive. The Capacitor works just as well as the Emissary in wing and prone, they are just very slightly heavier due to the use of glass fiber in the nose area and lack the woven carbon aesthetic in this area.

We're launching these boards in a dedicated construction since the shape allows them to be ridden at an even lower volume than the already very efficient Flux boards. While the Flux works very well with Foildrive when their volume is above 50% of bodyweight in kgs, around this threshold we've found it highly beneficial to have the increased signal transmission into the board due to them being submerged during starts.

For beginner to intermediate Foildrive riders the 60L, 72L, and even 84L Flux are all great choices depending on your skill level and weight. For advanced riders looking for the highest possible performance without compromising battery life, the Capacitor will hit the sweet spot for you. Our sizing recommendation is to aim for around 50% of your bodyweight in kgs.

Dimensions:

Volume Length Width Thickness Weight
35L 4' 10" 18" 3.1" 7.4 lbs
44L 5' 0" 18.5" 3.6" 8.5 lbs
55L 5' 7" 19.25" 4" 9.8 lbs

Each Capacitor is shipped with our new deckpad material factory installed. Being dedicated wave riding boards, the Capacitors have no strap inserts to maximally reduce weight. For a board more suitable to jumping and freestyle check out the Flux.

Confidence inspiring

The combination of touchdown recovery, responsiveness, and low centre of gravity during water starts will have you feeling like a hero in the wildest conditions.

Zero-rocker through the standing area of the deck and a slightly more aggressive concave than the Flux provides a comfortable and locked in feeling while riding strapless.

Despite the narrower hull design, careful dimensioning of the standing area along with a full coverage deck pad ensures heel and toe pressure is effectively translated into powerful signals to your foil.

Smooth Cross Over

Similar to the Flux, the Capacitor is perfectly suited to foildrive, winging, and prone foiling.

Our philosophy is that regardless of the power source used to get on foil, the parameters of a great wave foil board remain the same. So rather than a compromised design the Emissary is the perfect three in one.

Non-Linear Scaling

Each size has been engineered to fit a specific weight of rider, rather than the more versatile size range of the Flux.

For peak performance, experienced Foildriver users under 160lbs should try the 35L, under 190lbs the 44L, and under 240lbs the 55L. Size up to get even more battery life.

The driving factor for the width of each board is to maintain just enough deck space for the ideal stance to ensure uncompromised control over high aspect foils during critical turns. For this reason, the rail shape at the top of the board has been sharpened and the deck pad extends as far out as possible.

Made in the EU

The Emissary is built to last. The Appletree factory in Portugal applies a full carbon layup over a CNC cut closed-cell foam core. Vacuum resin infusion technology is used to saturate the cloth and achieve the ideal fiber to resin ratio to optimize stiffness and durability.

This process is what allows Appletree to create a permanent bond to their proprietary foam core, and uniquely results in a board that will not be damaged by water ingress - even if the outer skin is damaged.

Along with their world renowned track reinforcing technology, the Emissary is a board you can rely on to maintain peak performance for years to come.
