Function :
Surf with uncommon style by blending tasty carving, fearsome speed with big paddling comfort.
Introduction :
''L'enfant terrible" of the 70s is all grown up. A shape slightly more evolved than its predecessors but still fully committed.
La Carter was taken from a pure 70s shape, remastered by l'Ours to conform to todays modern surfing. Style, but also real performance with an unhindered glide and super clean carving.
Smooth, floaty while paddling, but ready to be radicalized if you desire, this model is supersonic.
Drop in from far out because she's easy to paddle, rocketing through the section is natural with her pin tail + wingers. Linking turns is in her DNA due to her fluid shape and Tri-Fin mounting, she is fearsome and 100% modern. In 2+1 you get a well rounded board, while turning, that conserves speed.
And with a Single Fin you open up the the doors of style : enjoy ;-)
The board for those who adore the glide and laying down magical turns.
Ideal Waves :
-
Size : knee high ++ head high and over.
-
Strength : at her best in all types of waves.

Type : all conditions, but most at home in glassy.
Shape :
-
Rocker : very progressive for the most natural carving.
-
Rails : ultra thin and streamlined focused on carving.
-
Volume : placed 2/3 in front, generous but without excess for early take offs and mad performance.
-
Outline : pinched tail for optimum control, an advanced wide point for stability at higher speeds, and a nose suufficiently thick for dropping in from far out.
-
Tail : pin tail + wingers to blend speed and maneuverability
-
Nose : point nose for quick paddling and handling wave face.
-
Deck : domed to maintain thinner rails and some thickness in the middle.
-
Bottom : double concave at tail for maximum control. V'd at center for quick rail to rail, and bellied/convex nose for soft touch at high speeds.
