I'm in love with the Prism Flash, especially at the $100 price point. Wow. Probably the best raw carbon fiber paddle & best overall paddle you can get for $100. This is the paddle I recommend to all my friends getting started.

Combining Will's playing expertise and Brian's industry experience, they created their high-performance flagship paddle, the Spade.
