Wenonah Prism Touring Canoe
The Wenonah Prism is Wenonah's most popular composite solo canoe, and for good reason — it blends efficiency, stability, capacity, and finesse into one incredibly versatile package. Equally at home on a casual day cruise with a light load or a medium-length wilderness trip, the Prism handles a wide range of water conditions with confidence and ease.
As Canoe & Kayak Magazine put it, "The Prism is all about glide and speed. It's a lean boat that tracks the best of those reviewed, yet will turn quickly enough, and returns to a stable position more readily than other fast canoes." For solo paddlers seeking a do-it-all touring canoe that excels on flatwater without sacrificing versatility, the Prism is the benchmark. Available in UltraLight w/Aramid and SuperLite constructions to match your performance priorities.
The Wenonah Prism UltraLight w/Aramid delivers the stiffness and featherweight performance that serious solo paddlers demand. Built with a structural-foam core and rib system laminated into the hull, reinforced fabric layers in high-stress zones, and strategically placed aluminum mounting plates — with seats, footbraces, and all hardware riveted cleanly from the inside for a smooth, snag-free exterior. Aramid fiber, the same material trusted in aerospace applications and body armor, forms the backbone of this construction, delivering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio ideal for distance paddling, portage-heavy trips, and anyone who insists on the lightest possible gear. Wenonah has been building Aramid canoes for over 30 years and remains the world's largest Aramid canoe manufacturer.
The Wenonah Prism SuperLite takes an already exceptional hull and pushes it further, delivering a canoe that is more than 15 percent lighter than the standard UltraLight Aramid construction. Using CAD-engineered structural cores, refined selective reinforcement techniques, and standard carbon seats, the SuperLite Prism is purpose-built for paddlers who want to go farther with less effort. For solo tourers who demand the absolute pinnacle of lightweight performance without compromising the Prism's legendary tracking, speed, and versatility, the SuperLite is the ultimate expression of what this canoe can be.
