Design
Offset stance, elliptical outline, recessed standing zone: a distinctive shape you recognize at first glance. It was built point by point to widen the range of use without erasing the model's personality.

A BOARD LIKE NO OTHER
Some shapes chase a trend. Others come from a vision of riding singular enough to carve out their own path. The Chipri Legacy belongs to that second lineage.

A vision
beyond convention
Chipri Courde, AFS's iconic ambassador, has always been a step ahead when it comes to board design and construction.
This model was built around the way he rode the foil: an offset approach, rail to rail, fluid and committed. Designed by Chipri Courde and Laurent Borgna with the AFS Advanced R&D team, the development was driven with precision so that this vision of riding is now within reach of those who are after it.
The V1 was radical, demanding, built to serve a style beyond the standards. The Legacy takes that foundation and refines it with precision. It keeps everything that made the model so distinctive, while making the approach more consistent, more readable and easier to translate to your own riding.
«The shape was built point by point, with one clear intention: widen the range of use without erasing the model's personality.»
Built to meet your standards
Progression
A board that forgives mistakes without holding your progression back, and that unlocks the snappy rail-to-rail feel you envy in the best riders. The Legacy puts it within reach of anyone looking to break through.
Performance
Precise rail-to-rail, clean flight, optimized water release. The Chipri Legacy answers the demands of a rider who expects more. Radical, it's built to serve a style beyond the standards.

#RIDE4CHIPRI
This board isn't only about lines, volumes or water flow. It carries something more human.
Chipri had a way of riding all his own: a quiet intensity, a committed fluidity, a rare power. On the water and off it, he left a lasting impression and marked everyone who crossed his path. In the workshop and within the team, he left a mark and we wanted to honor his memory.
The Legacy looks like him, in what it expresses as much as in what it gives you.
Those who knew him remember a radiant, humble, open guy, someone who built connections naturally everywhere he went. The artwork, entrusted in part to a tattoo artist who was close to him, quietly brings out the idea of mana, that calm, radiant strength that defined him.

For riders who
refuse to compromise
The Chipri Legacy is for surf foilers chasing a demanding, high-performance wave-riding shape, without the compromises of a board that's too forgiving.

The shape
point by point
01
Offset stance
Ergonomic deck contour, powerful leverage on the foil's tips and excellent toe grip on the rail curve.
02
Outline & length
Slightly lengthened to ease wave entry. Elliptical shape that flips around the back foot.
03
Recessed standing zone
Lengthened and simplified for more forgiveness, freedom in foot placement without losing the efficiency of the concept.
04
Deck line & concave
Slightly diving. Progressive concave, more moderate under the back foot, more pronounced up front.
05
Rails & nose
Generous rails that keep you forgiving on touch-downs. Material removed from the front of the deck to cut inertia when pumping.
06
Water-release lines & tail
Tightened to improve flow release. Limits suction and improves behavior through whitewater sections and choppy zones.
07
Carbon construction, Made in France
Full triaxial carbon sandwich, high-density foam, US double rail. Light, stiff, lively. The Chipri Legacy is designed and built in our shaping workshop in Pencran, Brittany.

For seasoned surf foilers after an ultra-reactive wave-riding board. The benchmark size to fully tap into the shape's offset DNA.
For surf foilers after an excellent balance of reactivity and forgiveness. Wave entry is slightly more accessible. Ideal for the vast majority of intermediate to advanced riders.
For bigger surf foilers, or anyone after extra lift in softer wave conditions. Also works for lighter wing foilers.
Start with the mast centered or slightly back to explore the shape's sensitivity. The recessed standing zone gives you room — don't hesitate to test different foot positions.
Behavior changes significantly depending on the wing you run. The generous rails forgive touch-downs: don't be shy down in the trough.
