The Cortez Prism Cubin surfboard would make a great all-rounder for average to good surf conditions in the waist to just over head-high range, and if you're ready to dip your toe into the performance fish market for the first time the Cubin is bang on the money.

The all-new Cortez Prism range has got the team here at Boardshop HQ a little excited, and If you think you know Cortez as a brand you're going to have to re-set! Cortez Prism is a new high-end, comprehensive range of boards constructed from the very latest EPS/Epoxy/Carbon and finished to an immaculate standard.

Cortez Prism surfboards are built around a high quality stringerless EPS Foam Core with 2 x 6oz layers of fibreglass on the deck and bottom and laminated with epoxy resin. Carbon strips which replace the traditional wooden stringer are laminated to the top and bottom creating a fast responding flex pattern which will last for the boards lifetime. What you're getting is a lightweight and durable surfboard with an extremely lively feel. EPS/Epoxy surfboards are a little more resilient when it comes to deck compression and generally last longer than a regular PU surfboard, but the biggest benefit is the way they feel in the water and how they maintain that 'new board feel' for life!

The Cortez Prism Cubin is a very clever little board indeed; it packs plenty of volume through the middle of the board but with the distinctive 'step-deck' maintains a 'proper' rail profile which can still hold in decent surf and allow the rider to turn the board from the back foot.

Cutting-edge construction and clever foam distribution make the Cubin a very attractive board for the competent larger guy or girl who want to ride a short board but need a little help with float and wave catching. The Cubin also ticks plenty of boxes for the first time shortboarder ready for their first performance surfboard; lightweight, stable and forgiving, easy paddling, beautifully finished and with an unbeatable price-point!

The team at Boardshop are totally amped to be stocking these amazing Cortez Prism surfboards, and I for one will be adding at least a couple of models to my quiver!
