Naish 2025 Hover Chimera

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 rockerlines 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 UD carbon / UD 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 doubled rail grants speedy touchdowns and a super sharp tail release for maximum efficiency during flight. 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 push ability, keeping you locked in place. A new era… Chase the feeling with the Chimera range; purpose fused with passion.

• • A new versatile range for highly experienced riders that want to push their limits of wave foiling
    Narrow, low volume board design to increase maneuverability on waves
    Lightweight but tough UD Carbon/ UD glass sandwich construction
    EVA pad achieving a light weight, durable high traction pad
    
  • Developed with Austin Kalama and Koa Fabio as THE go to boards for experienced riders who want one board to do almost everything from surf foiling to tow foiling and most of all wing foiling
    Require a higher experience level but are also suitable for light weight riders such as kid
    Born from the rockerlines of the Hover surf Ascend those shapes have been adapted to know no limits
    While narrow and thin the waterline got maximized to make take offs easy by allowing for a quick acceleration to get to the water surface
    Wide bevel design minimizing rail touch down area which allows for greater angles when turning
    Deck recess for ultimate paddle comfort to keep you locked in place
    Minimal footstrap options that can be used for both surfing, towing and wingfoiling while not adding much weight
