Description

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 it’s easy to paddle, rocketing through the section is natural with its pin tail + wingers. Linking turns is in its DNA due to its fluid shape and Tri-Fin mounting, it 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 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 its best in all types of waves.
  • Type: all conditions, but most at home in glassy.

Equipments

These boards are equipped with a leash plug and 2 FCS II fin boxes + 1 US box. Depending on your desires and your surfing style, the FCSII fin catalog then allows you to go for pro model fins signed by emblematic surfers. This board comes with a mid-range FCS Glass Flex set and a GONG central fin that you can complete with high-end fiber fins for the best performance.

Construction

The Origin 2.0 technology combines solidity, performance and a polished glossy finish that will make heads turn on the beach! This modern composite sandwich that combines wood and carbon on an EPS foam blank is just superb. The vacuum glued wood strengthens the board against knocks, dents and breakage. The carbon belt creates an outer double batten that provides incredible responsiveness.

This very high-end technology is the perfect combination of durability, dynamism and performance. Only our direct sales model allows us to offer it to you at such a sharp price.

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.
  • Fins : single + 2 lateral

Shipping

Availability:

The dates of availability of all our products are written on each product page, in the size and colour of the product concerned.

These dates are valid at the moment you consult the site and/or place an order. It is possible that this product may be ordered a few seconds after your consultation. It then becomes unavailable. If you have placed an order, this change does not concern you: the product you order is still available on the date indicated at the time of your order.

We sell several thousand products per week. The stocks are therefore very evolutionary. But our management always shows you the real availability live.

If it’s available online: it’s available ?

 

Pre-order:

Some articles are proposed in pre-order during their routing to our premises. You can buy this article which will arrive at our place in a few weeks. This method avoids the fair to grab upon receipt of the lot and the disappointed ones who would not order within the hour.

Upon receipt, we will ship it to you as a regular order.

The times indicated on the pre-orders are 95% reliable. First of all, because we only pre-sell finished products that are arriving to us after Customs, and therefore shipped right after. And also, because we add decent margins with concern to the dates announced by the shipping companies or railways.

However, a Worker Strike, a breakdown, an overbooking, can unfortunately happen. In the case of a delay, you will be notified by email (check your spam). It is generally less than a week and totally independent of our good will.

As soon as we receive the container in La Baule, we ship your order within three working days. Then the carrier takes over: delivery time and tracking numbers are under their responsibility.

It is possible that the date displayed on the online for the pre-order of the item you have ordered and paid for may change for two reasons:

  1. All quantities of the batch are sold (most common reason). In this case, orders placed for the first container will be delivered as scheduled.
  2. The container is late and we have to shift the date by a few days. (Strikes, breakdowns, overbooking, can unfortunately happen). You will be notified by email.

We never change the delivery dates of a container without notifying customers.

 

Delays:

The dates that we announce are shipping deadlines, which GONG has in stock and available here physically.

We usually give a shipping time within 3 days, but in most cases, we ship within 24/48 hours. Normally morning orders leave in the afternoon for example.

Then the transport service takes over. The variables are then important between the customer being delivered to France (very fast) or Bulgaria (a good week) or to a forwarding agent or to Asia or the USA… You understand that each location has its own type of delay.

We work with serious and well-known carriers. They do their utmost to make you happy even if a snafu can happen. In any case, we are there to make things easier and to arrange our customers.

 

Shipping Fees: 

Contrary to others, we do not hide shipping costs in the price of our products. At GONG everyone knows exactly what he pays. The transport is charged at its strictest value, and the person who comes to pick up his products does not pay hidden transport fees.

Shipping costs are calculated according to the weight and volume of each package, and your delivery address. To this is added a labour time of order preparation.

The invoicing of the shipping costs is identical in continental France and in the bordering European countries. A surcharge is automatically invoiced for deliveries to the most distant European countries and all European islands.

For a shipment in French overseas departments and territories or outside Europe, our logistics department will contact you before the payment stage to give you an estimate of the shipping costs. You will be able to accept this estimate and pay your order, or refuse it and cancel your order.

 

Any questions:

We answer you within 24 hours by email. But 95% of your questions are answered on the site. Try to use our contact form which will guide you to all these answers.

Don’t forget to read the Forum, where thousands of users exchange information and experiences.

In any case, don’t panic. If you don’t get an answer during the weekend, it’s normal: the team is resting ?

We are passionate and professional in our job. Our only goal is to make you happy, as much as possible ?

 

Eco-responsible packaging:

Preserving the environment is a top priority. That’s why we are doing everything possible to reduce our environmental footprint.

The first thing is to sell quality products that will last, be repairable and will please you for a long time.

The second thing is to sell for less. Most of the pollution coming from a Board is in its use (the km driven to use it) and in the countless environmental damages you have to do to pay for it. Each euro spent is a sum of damage related to your life quite simply: eating, working hard etc… By reducing the price of our products, we significantly reduce your ecological footprint on this item.

For our shipments we use:

  • Flexi-Hex: ecological packaging of very high resistance.
  • Paper Craft Scotch Tape.
  • Final packaging made of high-end cardboard.

All this for:

  • Reusable and recyclable packaging.
  • An almost total reduction of single-use plastic.
  • Maximum protection and impact resistance thanks to the innovative design of Flexi-Hex honeycomb (35mm thick).

 

Tracking of your parcels :

The tracking of deliveries is directly ensured by the carriers to whom we have entrusted your parcels. They will contact you by email or SMS to allow you to choose the delivery methods and to follow the route of your package.

If you ask us for this tracking, we will have to do as you do: we will go see on the carrier’s app because they are the ones who manage and are responsible for this job.

 

Delivery:

We collaborate with the best transport providers to deliver you everywhere in Europe and in the world in very short delays.

We have chosen them for their quality of service and their respect of deadlines. 80% of your orders reach their destination in less than 48 hours of processing in metropolitan and continental France.

For Europe, the delays vary from 3 to 6 days depending on the country of destination.

For the rest of the world, delays can be up to 15 days.

Please note that the transport time is added to the preparation/shipping time. Two companies work on your order (GONG and the carrier). Each one controls its activity and commits itself to optimize its delays so that you are delivered as soon as possible, in good condition and at a reasonable price.

 

Reception of your Board:

Upon delivery, simply open and inspect the condition of your Board in the presence of the carrier. A complete email explaining the procedure to follow will be sent to you when your order is shipped.

In spite of our requirements and all the care we take in packaging and protecting your Board, transportation hazards may occur. Even if it concerns less than 2% of everything we ship around the world, a Board can suffer a more or less important transportation shock.

But in any case, don’t worry, just refuse it, and a new Board will be shipped back to you.

 

Returns:

You can choose to return your products if:

  • You are not satisfied (14 days right of retraction).
  • You want to change an item.
  • You have refused your package.

 

For each situation, contact us by our contact form to help you.

10 reviews for GONG SURF CARTER ORIGIN 2.0

  1. Moritz

    Owning a board that consistently delivers a good time, regardless of the conditions, is a true delight. From small, choppy waves to larger, glassy walls, this board keeps the smiles coming throughout every session. It comes with a versatile 2+1 fin setting, allowing you to experiment and tweak its characteristics. Opt for a twin fin setup for a loose and snappy feel, or go for the single fin configuration to experience a more classic or traditional ride. The choice is yours in how you want to enjoy the endless fun that this board brings to the table.

    J’utilise depuis plusieurs mois la Carter 6’0, une board bien sympa qui part facile avec sa largeur. Elle répond très bien dans les manœuvres. Le rocker a juste ce qu’il faut pour dropper sans stress et avoir une bonne glisse. Et le design bois carbone est top !

  3. Renaud

    Ahhhh la Carter, super shape !

  4. Etienne

    elle est terrible

  5. Yaya

    Les conditions n étaient vraiment pas top et pourtant je m étais placé sur un spot moins violent mais c était un vaste chantier …
    Cependant j ai pu prendre quelques vagues et les 1eres impressions sont EXCELLENTES ??

  6. Guillaume

    Superbe planche

  7. Patrick LEBON (verified owner)

    Tres bonne planche et tres reactive avec une belle finition.

  8. jeanfrancois.bouquet

    je viens de recevoir la mienne en 9.8 trés beau produit j ai hate de l essayer je suis comme un fou un grand merci a l équipe gong je vous dit a tres vite pour ma nouvelle commande de planche

  9. Bixente

    Très bon produit.
    Bonne rame, beau volume, superbe vitesse. Je ne regrette pas mon achat, mais encore au début de l’exploration avec celui-ci.
    Seul bémol, c’est une planche sombre et brillante, donc toute trace se voit.

  10. Oliv

    Très belle board carveuse.
    La finition est très réussie, la construction solide j’ai mis un petit coup sur le rail sans dégat…
    A l’eau la 7.3 semble un peu plus petite que le volume annoncé à la rame. Par contre dans des vagues un peu creuses quel régal, on incline sur le rail ça tourne tout seul. Bref elle remplace très bien mon egg 6.10 (moins carveur) et vient compléter mon acidolly 8!

How to properly glue your pads?

The question of the pad often comes down to an aesthetic choice for the look of your board. But what seems like luxury to non-pros is actually a huge help.
If surfing is “the art of placement” then you need to put your feet properly on the board. And what better than a touch marker to know, “ok, I’m at the sweet spot for this turn.”?

Sticking good pads is therefore essential. They will signal to your feet whether they are in the perfect position or not.
You still have to stick them properly, and some get very creative…
