Just got my new Prisma.

Ridden in waves below 4foot and mushy slop over multiple days.

Will do a proper review once I have ridden it enough to have a comprehensive view..

Here is what I know so far. Great, fun board. Fantastic flex feel (more like a traditional surfboard). It is lively, snappy and heaps of fun. Good support to the back foot as you come off the top and brilliant "whip" type arcs as you would expect from a quad. Still holds a really good edge off the bottom turn and manages speed better than I would expect from a board that is 19inch wide. I would now say that I prefer the extra width, particularly when on a decent wave.

I have come from riding a North WAM quad and it also is a great board, but at this stage I would say the Prisma has the edge regarding surfboard feel and just delivering a generally predictable, confidence inspiring ride. I know the new North WAM 2012 has better flex then the 2011(had a couple of demos last fortnight), but it is still not as nice as the Prisma feel. My opinion of course.

Love it. As I said, I will put a proper review up once I have ridden it for a month or so. Unfortunately our season is ending here in South East NSW.

Will keep you posted.

ps. I would not choose this board as a paddle in surfboard as it is so thin and lacks enough buoyancy. But that is also what makes it such a hot kite surfing board
