CHIMERA 2027

THE QUIVER KILLER

FREERIDE / WAVE FOILING / EFOIL ASSIST

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.

Our main goals for the 2027 chimera were to improve the pumping and planning start efficiency including more volume into a thinner and shorter platform.

Outline:
• The New Chimera Outline is shorter per volume than the previous model keeping the same width in the nose and adding width to the tail .
• The 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.
• The parallel style outline allows for volume to be better distributed creating a thinner distance between the box and deck providing a more direct feel when on foil.
• The volume distribution being more uniform throughout the length of the board helps reduce the swing weight.

Rocker: We added more nose and tail rocker to improve the pump up efficiency but kept a lower/flatter rail point rocker to still allow the board to plane fast.

Bottom Shaping: The bottom shape was inspired on 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.
Wide Standing area: We reduced the deck concaves, making it more comfortable for both a wide staggered stance and a narrower centered
