Naish 2025 Hover Chimera Foil Board

Naish 2025 Hover Chimera Foil Board Developed alongside Austin Kalama and Koa Fabio as the go-to surf foil board for experienced riders who desire the versatility and power-performance features of a singular board to cover all facets of foiling; surf, tow and wing foiling. Born from the rocker lines of the Hover Surf Ascend, the NEW Chimera Range shapes have been evolved to know no limits, transcending expectations of what’s possible on a foil in the surf. Constructed with a Biaxial Carbon / glass sandwich, superior strength is a fundamental feature in maintaining key structural aspects of the board, preventing denting or cracking on hard landings, whilst preserving a lighter overall weight than ever before. The narrow outline paired with its low-volume composition dramatically enhances the boards maneuverability and optimized turning capability on waves. The increased waterline and bottom shaping offers heightened momentum during take-offs and faster acceleration from the water’s surface. The beveled rail grants speedy touchdowns and a super sharp tail release for maximum efficiency when getting on foil, allowing the rider to ride around 10 liters lower than their typical board. The modified volume distribution elevates the board's balance profile, granting ease of operation, while the deck recess; a scooped out, slight W concave and EVA pad combination offers ultimate paddle comfort and ergonomic foot placement with great control, keeping you locked in place without the need for straps. A new era… Chase the feeling with the Chimera range; purpose fused with passion.
