2027 Naish Nimbus Wing Foil Board
2027 Naish Nimbus Wing Foil Board
The 2027 Naish Nimbus Wing Foil Board is a completely redesigned compact wing foil board built for freeride, freestyle and progression. With a wider parallel outline, early-release tail and low-profile deck, the new Nimbus delivers easier starts, quick take-off and a more direct connection to your foil.
For riders looking for a Naish wing foil board that feels compact on the water without becoming difficult to start, the Nimbus strikes an excellent balance between stability, efficiency and performance.
Available in 60L, 70L, 85L and 100L, the 2027 Nimbus covers everything from smaller freestyle setups through to versatile everyday freeride boards.
Compact Wing Foil Board With More Stability
Naish has widened the Nimbus and distributed the volume through the overall shape rather than simply making the board thicker.
That gives the board noticeably more stability when kneeling or getting to your feet while keeping the deck closer to the foil.
The result is a compact wing foil board that feels stable before take-off but responsive and connected once you're flying.
The wide square tail provides excellent support at low speed and helps the board accelerate efficiently onto foil, particularly in lighter wind or marginal conditions.
Early Take-Off and Efficient Release
The 2027 Nimbus features a wide, square high-volume tail designed to help the board release quickly from the water.
Once powered, the parallel rails and rear chamfers help reduce drag and allow the board to accelerate cleanly towards take-off.
This makes the Nimbus particularly appealing for riders looking for:
-
Easier wing foil starts
-
Early lift onto foil
-
Better low-speed stability
-
Efficient acceleration
-
A compact board that still carries useful volume
Direct Foil Feel
One of the standout features of the 2027 Naish Nimbus is the reduced distance between the rider and the foil.
Because the board doesn't rely on excessive thickness to create volume, your feet sit closer to the foil mast and tracks.
This gives the board a more direct, responsive feel and makes it easier to control pitch, turns and pumping.
For experienced riders, this gives the Nimbus the connection you'd normally expect from a much smaller board.
For progressing riders, it means you can choose enough volume for easier starts without sacrificing too much foil feel.
Smooth Touchdowns
The Nimbus uses a tri-plane bottom shape with a convex nose and flatter rear chamfers.
If the board touches down at speed, the nose is designed to redirect off the water rather than suddenly catching.
This helps when:
-
Learning transitions
-
Landing jumps
-
Recovering from foil breaches
-
Riding through chop
-
Progressing into freestyle wing foiling
The rounded, high-volume nose also adds useful forgiveness during knee starts and slower touchdowns.
Freeride and Freestyle Wing Foil Performance
The different Nimbus sizes allow riders to choose how performance-focused they want the board to feel.
The 60L and 70L Nimbus are particularly suited to experienced riders, freestyle wing foiling and riders wanting a smaller board underneath them.
The 85L and 100L Nimbus add extra stability and are excellent choices for freeride, everyday wing foiling and riders looking for easier starts without moving to a large beginner-style board.
This makes the Nimbus one of the more versatile boards in the 2027 Naish wing foil range.
