Naish Hover Chimera 2025

Introducing the Chimera Range, the ultimate surf foil board developed in collaboration with Austin Kalama and Koa Fabio. Designed for experienced riders who demand versatility and high-performance across surf, tow, and wing foiling, the Chimera delivers power and precision in every session.

Inspired by the Hover Surf Ascend rockerlines, the Chimera shapes are engineered to break limits, redefining what’s possible on a foil. Built with a Biaxial Carbon/Glass Sandwich construction, this board offers superior strength to prevent dents and cracks on hard landings, while maintaining an incredibly lightweight profile. The narrow outline and low-volume design boost maneuverability and turning capability, allowing for sharp, controlled moves on the waves.

With an increased waterline and optimized bottom shaping, the Chimera accelerates rapidly during take-offs, giving you a smooth, fast ride. The beveled rails and sharp tail release make touchdowns seamless and maximize efficiency when getting on foil. Thanks to the innovative design, you can ride about 10 liters lower than you would on a typical board, giving you unmatched performance and control.

The modified volume distribution enhances balance, and the recessed deck with a slight W concave and EVA pad ensures comfort and precise foot placement without the need for straps. Whether you're foiling in waves or gliding effortlessly in tow or wing setups, the Chimera is built for all.

Chase the feeling with the Chimera Range—where passion meets purpose, and performance knows no limits.
