Program

Presentation
The terrible child of the 70s has grown up. A slightly wiser shape than his elders, but as committed as ever.
The custom boards created in our workshop are true objects of art. We put all our know-how into the design of these exceptional objects, both noble and high-performance, for a unique sliding experience.
This pronounced pin tail ensures exceptional stability, holding the course with ease even in hollow waves, while allowing remarkably smooth curves. In addition, the tail and nose are reinforced with wood, giving incomparable style and unfailing resistance. Immerse yourself in a unique experience combining performance and aesthetics.
The PU CUSTOM construction represents the timeless classic of surfing, offering the possibility of taming rough bodies of water with complete peace of mind. Immerse yourself in the traditional surfing experience!
The Carter comes from a pure 70’s shape remastered by the Ours to fit modern surfing. Style, but above all performance in seamless gliding, with super clean curves. Soft, buoyant, but always radical as desired, this line is supersonic.
Dropping from afar is easy because it paddles quickly. Fusing in the section is natural with its pin tail. Rolling curves is its DNA with this fluid shape.
With a twin fin assembly, it is formidable and 100% retro. In 2 + 1 you make a very round board in the curves while maintaining acceleration. In single, you open wide the doors of style: enjoy!
The board for those who love gliding and magical curves.

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…
