Cortez Prism Gen-3 Mocha Surfboard Grey 9'1"

The Cortez Prism Mocha longboard 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 longboard market for the first time the Mocha is bang on the money. Equally if you are a more experienced longboarder the Mocha will give you a brilliant blend of progressive and traditional longboard surfing. You can nose ride this board as well as get it turning off the tail in better waves. The Mocha represents great value for a quality longboard in a great construction.

The all new Cortez Prism range has got the team here at Bob Gnarly Surf 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!

Who Are Cortez?

Cortez Surfboards has built a strong reputation among UK and European surfers for producing high-quality surfboards that balance performance, durability, and value. Whether you’re a beginner catching your first waves or an experienced rider looking for a responsive shortboard, Cortez offers a versatile range designed to suit a wide variety of surf conditions and skill levels.

Known for their innovative approach to construction, Cortez Surfboards specialise in modern EPS epoxy surfboards, which are lighter, more durable, and more buoyant than traditional PU boards. This makes them an ideal choice for surfers searching for easy paddling, improved wave catching, and long-lasting performance. Many models also feature advanced carbon reinforcement technology, enhancing flex response and giving riders a lively, energetic feel underfoot.

Cortez has become particularly popular for its all-rounder surfboards and performance fish shapes—perfect for everyday UK surf, where conditions can vary from small and clean to punchy and overhead. These boards are designed with user-friendly volume distribution, helping surfers generate speed and maintain control without sacrificing manoeuvrability. As a result, Cortez is often recommended as one of the best surfboard brands for beginners progressing to intermediate level, as well as larger surfers looking for extra float and stability.

Another key advantage of Cortez Surfboards is their commitment to affordability without compromising on quality. Surfers searching for the best value surfboards or cheap epoxy surfboards will find Cortez consistently delivers high-end construction at a competitive price point. This makes the brand an excellent option for those wanting premium features—such as epoxy resin, lightweight cores, and durable glassing—without the premium price tag.

From funboards and minimal shapes to high-performance shortboards, Cortez continues to grow as a go-to surfboard brand for reliability, progression, and everyday performance. If you’re looking to buy a surfboard that offers a balance of performance, durability, and affordability, Cortez Surfboards is a name worth considering.
