DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Noseless Concept
The Klokhouse Noseless takes the legendary shape of Appletree's high-performance Klokhouse surfboard and removes the nose. The result is a lighter board for faster rotations. It has a compact size that fits into most standard kite bags. Performance remains almost identical to the full version, with the same flex, weight, and ride feel as a true surfboard.
High-performance shape
The Klokhouse Noseless is for high-performance surfing. It draws its shape from a high-performance shortboard, with a slightly generous width in the center to keep it accessible for intermediate surfers. The rocker is pronounced at the nose and flattens towards the tail. This promotes quick planing and excellent upwind performance. The bottom features a balanced single concave throughout its length for maximum drive.
Rails and Tail
The thin to medium rails ensure solid grip and precise control at the high speeds typical of kitesurfing. The particularly thin squash tail offers optimal contact with the water. It provides an unparalleled feel in turns. The thruster setup (3 FUTURES fins) guarantees a perfect balance between handling and hold in the waves.
White Line Construction
The White Line range features Appletree's best-selling models in a proven standard construction. The exclusive 50K closed cell foam core is wrapped in a hex-skin sandwich: a structural fiberglass layer, a flexible hex-skin honeycomb, and a 45° outer layer. The bottom remains without honeycomb to preserve maximum flex. An additional reinforcement under the front foot completes the package.

FAQ - APPLETREE KLOKHOUSE NOSELESS WHITE LINE
The Klokhouse Noseless is for kitesurfers who want a surf feel in the waves. It suits intermediate to expert riders. The 5’0” is ideal for riders under 70 kg, the 5’2” for riders from 70 to 85 kg, and the 5’4” for riders over 85 kg.
The shape remains strictly identical. The White Line features a standard hex-skin construction with a crisp white finish. A deck pad is included. It is available for immediate shipping. For those who want to customize, the Custom version lets you choose colors, reinforcement type, and personalized dimensions, with a lead time of approximately 8 weeks.
Removing the nose significantly lightens the board. This reduces swing weight for improved handling and easier turns. It's also incredibly practical: the board fits into most kite bags. This makes travel a breeze. Rest assured, wave performance remains almost identical to the version with a nose.
The board is equipped with FUTURES fin box in a thruster (3 fins) configuration. Fins are not included. We recommend FUTURES fins suitable for Surf (F4 type or equivalent). Contact our team for personalized advice.
Yes, the hex-skin construction with 50K foam is specifically for wave kitesurfing. It's more than robust enough for daily use in the waves. Minor heel dents may appear over time, which is normal and will not weaken the board.
