The Naish Microchip 2026 is a compact, ultra-light foil board built for riders who want the most direct connection to their foil. Designed for advanced kite foilers, pump foilers, and dock-start enthusiasts, this minimal board strips everything down to the essentials: low swing weight, instant response, and maximum efficiency.
With a length of just 80 cm and only 5 liters of volume, the Microchip practically disappears under your feet once you lift onto the foil. The extremely compact platform reduces swing weight and allows precise control while pumping, carving turns, and learning technical maneuvers.
The redesigned outline features slightly increased nose width and rocker, helping riders generate momentum when pumping and making take-offs smoother and more forgiving despite the board’s tiny footprint.
Constructed with a high-density PVC core reinforced with carbon and fiberglass, the Microchip is both lightweight and durable, giving riders the confidence to push their sessions harder without sacrificing strength.
For experienced foilers looking for the purest possible board-to-foil connection, the Microchip delivers a responsive and playful ride that excels in flat water sessions, pump practice, and progressive kite foiling.
