The concept

One board, all disciplines

01 Product information One board, all disciplines: wing, surf, downwind, tow: the quiver killer that does everything. For the 2027 season, the Chimera has been completely redesigned. With this new board, we focused on packing all the planing speed of our current shapes into a more compact, maneuverable, and stable platform. While the shape is completely new, the Chimera still stays true to its original design philosophy: a true one-board quiver that allows you to enjoy all the disciplines that get you stoked to be on the water. With the rise of parawinging, we also refined the Chimera’s shape to shorten the learning curve and make it an even stronger fit for this new discipline. One board. All purpose. Endless opportunity.

02 Technical details WIDER TAIL BLOCK allows for easier planning as your board will create better lift at low speeds, pulling your board to the surface and allowing for quick acceleration. PARALLEL STYLE OUTLINE allows for volume to be better distributed throughout the board creating a thinner distance between the box and deck providing a more direct feel when on foil. UNIFORM VOLUME DISTRIBUTION throughout the length of the board helps reduce the swing weight. This makes the nose feel much lighter through turns. MORE NOSE AND TAIL ROCKER added to the stringer line 2027 Chimera to improve the pump up efficiency but kept a lower/flatter rail point rocker to still allow the board to plane fast. BOTTOM SHAPE inspired by the 2026 Odyssey DW boards featuring a convex hull to a sharp upper rail through the nose of the board and flat straight chamfers through the back 40%. The nose shaping aids in water separation while pumping it up on to foil while the flatter tail helps lower the planning speed. NOSE PANELLING AND RAIL SHAPE: Subtle paneling has been added to the nose to reduce windage when riding in strong side shore conditions. This also reduced the profile of the rail, preventing the rail of the board from sucking to the water on unintentional touch downs. WIDE STANDING AREA: We reduced the deck concaves, making it more comfortable for both a wide staggered stance and a narrower centered stance. Read more...

WHAT'S NEW WITH THE CHIMERA

Our 3 main goals for the 2027 Chimera were to improve the pumping and planning start efficiency, enhance the on foil feel and maneuverability, and pack more volume into a thinner and shorter platform.

The New Chimera Outline is shorter per volume than all of our previous models keeping the same width in the nose and adding width to the tail . This outline change allows us to pack the same amount of volume into a more compact outline.

Feature 2

Wider tail block

allows for easier planning as your board will create better lift at low speeds, pulling your board to the surface and allowing for quick acceleration.

Feature 3

More nose and tail rocker

added to the stringer line 2027 Chimera to improve the pump up efficiency but kept a lower/flatter rail point rocker to still allow the board to plane fast.

Feature 4

Bottom shaping

inspired by the 2026 Odyssey DW boards featuring a convex hull to a sharp upper rail through the nose of the board and flat straight chamfers through the back 40%.

Feature 5

Nose and panelling rail shape

Subtle paneling has been added to the nose to reduce windage when riding in strong side shore conditions.

Feature 6

Wide standing area

more comfortable for both a wide staggered stance and a narrower centered stance.

Feature 7

Uniform volume distribution

throughout the length of the board helps reduce the swing weight. This makes the nose feel much lighter through turns.

WHAT RIDERS SAY

“The Chimera is my favorite Naish board for downwinding, parawing, and wave riding. It’s compact, very light, and responsive through turns. It gets going quickly, especially in light wind, allowing me to get on foil earlier than with other boards.I weigh 58 kg, and with my 4.3 m² parawing and the 70 L Chimera, I can get on foil in just 10–11 knots.”

“I think that the Chimera is a great board for wave riding, surf foiling and downwinding with the parawing. I like it because it has more of a surf shape and visually looks great in the water.”
