bic sport - 2012 collection - eng

The world market leader in the field of windsurf for over 20 years, in the last 20 years BIC Sport has diversified into the manufacture of surf boards, kayaks, sailing dinghies for children, and has most recently focussed its knowledge and experience on launching an extensive range of Stand Up Paddle boards. This latest brand new board sport is largely based on the principles of simplicity and accessibility that have underpinned BIC’s enduring success.

BIC Sport has become the world’s leading expert for water sports. A forerunner in the industrial scale manufacture of surf and SUP boards, a benchmark manufacturer in the demanding surf market, BIC Sport is also a European market leader in sit-on-top kayaks, with a range of innovative kayaks that have picked up numerous design awards. In competition sailing, BIC Sport is behind a new concept in Junior windsurf competitions, with the Techno 293 One Design that has seen massive growth in the last few years. And more recently BIC Sport has created a similar dynamic in the world of dinghy sailing, where their highly innovative O’pen BIC model has totally revitalised the world of child/youth dinghy racing. For its manufacturing/production, BIC Sport has created an industrial process facility that is unique in the field, using three differing construction technologies : thermoform, thermoform on a PE core, and blown extrusion. Located at its base in Vannes, Brittany, France, this production facility turns out over 65,000 pieces of product every year for export to more than 90 countries.

Sustainable development : a major priority for BIC Sport

BIC Sport has been manufacturing water sport products for over 30 years and long before there was any awareness of environmental issues, it was keen to use a « clean » manufacturing process where materials could be recycled, and the production process did not involve gas emissions. From start to end of life-cycle, BIC Sport products are environmentally-friendly.The manufacturing plant being located in France, all our products are made in accordance with the strict European Norms in terms of safety and working conditions.

Low energy consumption• Short production cycle• Short infra-red heating cycle• Low electricity consumption

Few resources used • Highly consistent production process• Rejection rate < 2,5 / 1000• Surplus material systematically recycled back into the production process• A capacity per mould 5 times greater than standard techniques.

No pollution• Closed circuit cooling of the moulds.• No gas emissions.• No solvents.

100% recyclable• The O’pen BIC, the kayaks and the dinghies are boats that can be entirely recycled at the end of their life-cycle. They can be crushed and recycled for other usage.

Design and production

Awards

• O’pen BIC : « Bateau Bleu » prize awarded by the Fédération des Industries Nautiques in 2007.

• Kayaks : Several « Etoiles du Design » between 2002 and 2010, with particular emphasis on their environmentally-friendly concept.

Over the last three decades, BIC Sport has helped hundreds of thousands of people enjoy board sports by offering quality products with excellent performance at extremely reasonable prices. Every BIC board is designed by an expert shaper and manufactured using production techniques which faithfully and exactly reproduce the original shape. The materials and processes used ensure many seasons of durability and a high level of performance.

Over the past five years we’ve applied our experience and know-how in board design and thermoformed production techniques to the sport of SUP. Our ACS range has been a huge success with its simple line-up of durable boards at a great price. For 2012 we’ve expanded and refined our line-up to deliver a board for every riding style and skill level: from the expert rider looking for lightweight performance to the novice searching for strength and stability.

SUP!

New for 2012 is the ACE-TEC line-up, available in three sizes. This innovative composite thermoformed material and exclusive manufacturing process enables us to reduce the weight of our boards while retaining strength and resistance to knocks and bumps. Result: increased performance and easier transportation. The ACS range, as reliable as ever, welcomes a new 9’4” model, joining the 11’4’’ and 10’4’’ in our durable value-priced construction. Also new for 2012 is the C-TEC series, a complete range of premium epoxy boards with custom constructions and finishes: Wood, Clear EPS and Performance PVC. Rounding out the line-up are two Soft-Top boards featuring real epoxy construction wrapped in soft EVA foam for families, fitness paddlers and surf schools. For those needing a portable option, the SUP Air inflatable is perfect for travel and those with limited storage options. In the pages that follow we’re confident that you’ll find a board that fits your riding style, and your budget. See you on the water!

BIC Sport is the largest single-brand manufacturer of watersports equipment in the world with over 30 years of experience. Our boards are manufactured in Europe using a technology-driven approach to manufacturing. This approach results in a healthy workplace and reduced impact on the environment.

With decades of experience in windsurf and surfboard manufacturing BIC Sport is a pioneer of thermoformed composite construction technology. Over the past few years we’ve refined the ideal composite lay-up for SUP, with ACE-TEC as the result. Three sizes suit the needs of experienced riders and newbies alike with a unique combination of durability, light weight and performance shapes. All ACE-TEC boards come standard with the FCS fin system, a premium diamond groove EVA deck pad, ergo-grip carry handle and integrated rail guard.

ACE-TEC 9’6’’

Designed as an all-round performer for light weight riders (under 140lbs/65kg) as well as a performance surf SUP for medium weight riders (up to 180lbs/80kg). The balanced rocker profile, smooth outline and progressive bottom contours lend themselves to surf performance without sacrificing flatwater glide. A fully convertible 2+1 FCS fin configuration allows the rider to optimize performance by matching fin selection for either surf or flatwater conditions.

ACE-TEC 10’6’’ / 10’6’’ Wind

Designed as an all-round performer for riders up to 180lbs/80kg and as a performance surf SUP for riders up to 220lbs/100kg. Featuring even volume distribution, confidence-inspiring width and a refined rocker profile for surf performance as well as flatwater glide. A highly versatile SUP suitable for a wide range of conditions. The Wind version of the 10’6’’ ACE-TEC comes with a mastfoot so that a rig can be mounted. It’s then an ideal board for sailing in light to moderate winds on flatwater or in waves.


Shaped for riders up to 260lbs/120kg with substantial volume and width for excellent lateral stability. With the volume evenly spread along the length, its finely balanced rocker and longboard-style outline make it easy to handle in flatwater conditions while maintaining maneuverability in the surf zone. The 11’6” is also a great choice for families looking to bring along the kids or pets.

Combine an ultra-durable polyethylene outer shell (like a kayak but lighter weight) with a full polyurethane foam core (like a surfboard) and what do you get? An extremely durable board for less money than you’d expect. Thermoformed in steel molds, ensuring consistent and accurate reproduction of the original shape. Proven and long lasting with great performance, ACS boards are aimed at beginner riders just getting into the sport looking for a strong, stable board for flatwater paddling with the potential to progress into surfing. They’re ideally suited to surf and SUP schools looking for strong, easy to use equipment that students can make rapid progress on. All ACS boards feature the FCS fin system, a premium diamond groove EVA deck pad and ergo-grip carry handle.

ACS SUP 9’4’’

Designed for light weight riders in waves and on flat water, the new 9’4” ACS is a highly versatile board and is particularly at home in waves. Its compact shape makes it stable and simple to ride despite its relatively small size. An excellent SUP to get kids and petite riders started on paddlesurfing.

ACS SUP 10’4’’

Designed for beginner to intermediate riders up to 180lbs/80kg.With the same great handling and evenly spread volume distribution as it’s bigger brother, the 10’4” is as easy to ride in flatwater, with superb directional stability, as it is maneuverable in small waves.

ACS SUP 11’4’’ / 11’4’’ Wind

Designed for beginner to intermediate riders up to 220lbs/100kg and suitable for families looking to allow a variety of users the chance to try SUP. Its substantial volume is evenly spread from nose to tail, giving it its versatility. On the water it has great directional stability while retaining excellent maneuverability in small waves. The Wind version of the 11’4’’ ACS SUP comes with a mastfoot so that a rig can be mounted. It’s then an ideal board for sailing in light to moderate winds on flatwater or in waves.

Performance - PVC

CLASSIC Series - Wood

The proven and timeless Classic series blend beautiful and durable real bamboo construction with traditional longboard outlines. Excellent boards for flatwater paddling yet equally adept in small waves, perfect boards for performance in all conditions. These shapes offer moderate nose and tail rocker for control and maneuverability in the surf zone and a flat middle section for efficient paddling and directional control in flatwater. All Classic boards feature full glass single center fins and premium diamond groove EVA deck pads for comfort.

SCOUT Series - Clear EPS

Delivering the same versatility as our Classic series but in a more performance surf-inspired design. Constructed with clear EPS to reveal the quality core materials and real wood stringer. Relatively short, wide shapes provide stability while maintaining flatwater glide and superb handling in waves. The combination of flat deck and low rails assures maximum rider comfort and lots of speed while surfing. Featuring a progressive “thruster” fin configuration which is adaptable for flatwater paddling (center fin only) and wave performance (2+1 fin set-up).

Performance - PVC

Made from PVC sandwich epoxy construction technology, allowing us to manufacture boards that are both lightweight and durable. The 9’2’’ Jet Wave is a high performance shape designed for “shortboard” style surfing.

The 12’0’’Ocean model is an excellent open ocean “downwind” board as well as a smooth ride on flatwater and solid performer in the surf zone. Long and fairly narrow, it features reduced rocker running from the middle section to the tail with enough kick in the nose to eliminate diving in choppy conditions and while surfing. The 12’6’’ Touring model is designed to be stable and easy to paddle while retaining good speed for covering longer distances. With its large and well distributed volume it’s a board that can handle larger riders up to 250lbs/110kg or more. Its contoured nose section cuts through chop much better than an all-around style SUP, giving it more forward speed and a more comfortable paddling position. A recessed deck area lowers center of gravity for increased stability.

SUP Air SUP Soft

With the goal of making SUP accessible to all we’ve created the new SUP Air inflatable, ideal for travel and those with limited storage options. We’ve also designed two SUP Soft boards which are ideal for families, fitness/yoga enthusiasts as well as instructional programs.

SUP Air

The all-new SUP Air 11’0’’ has been designed for all those plane, train and boat trippers who like to take their sport with them. Made from a highly abrasion, UV and knock-resistant PVC, our patented manufacturing technology has enabled us to deliver boards that are strong, easy to learn on and deliver a smooth ride on flat water, in small waves and mild rapids. Comes with a compact carry/storage bag and pump for inflation, the SUP Air 11’0’’ BIC Sport Paddle Surf is simple to transport and set up for use.

Soft

Our new SOFT boards have been developed for families, fitness paddlers and surf schools looking for boards that are above all easy and safe to ride. The shapes are based on our premium ACE-TEC models and feature full epoxy/fiberglass construction which is then fully wrapped in a soft foam on the deck and rails with a durable soft-skin sealed bottom.

When you learn to surf, there are three key elements that help you enjoy the experience of those first waves :1. A shape well-adapted to beginners and easy progression2. A strong, hard-wearing board that won’t be easily damaged3. A quality board at a reasonable priceOur ACS board range gives beginner and intermediate surfers the advantage of a tough, easy board at a budget price.

5’10’’ Fish Dynamic performance!

The versatile Pocket Rocket is renowned as the ideal first surfboard for grommets as much as it is regarded as an excellent small-wave board for accomplished surfers of approximately 45-70kg. Truly reflecting its name, the Pocket Rocket is a dynamo that offers the stability and buoyancy of a longboard with the manoeuvrability of a shortboard packing a lot of volume into its short length. The secret is its short, fat design that incorporates a wide nose and tail, allowing the Pocket Rocket to catch waves early for a board of its size. While suitable for small children just starting out, it nonetheless packs a punch when ridden by a more experienced surfer.

6’7’’ Shortboard Up your surfing performance with the 6’7’’ Shortboard! Looking for a board that will accelerate through cut-backs, off-the-lip and mid-face manoeuvres? You’ll be stoked with the new heights that this performance driven, durable, shortboard will take you to. Intermediate surfers agree it’s the perfect first shortboard, advanced surfers will find this a reliable board across a wide range of wave sizes and conditions. Smaller kids will love the 6’7” as it offers plenty of board to get them going as its standard shortboard dimensions have been slightly increased to cater to more of a beginner/intermediate market.

7’3’’ Mini Malibu No wonder this is the world’s single best selling surfboard!The Mini-Malibu is the perfect all rounder. A fabulous entry-level board for new surfers, it features a refined combination of stability for ease of paddling and enough performance to make it a fun board for the more advanced surfer. Versatile and a joy to ride, the Mini-Malibu surfboard will take you from your first ever surfing experience through to gliding down the unbroken wave face or ripping up the lip! Durable enough to survive learn-to-surf wipeouts that leave other boards on the beach, this low-cost board will bring you hours of fun on a great range of wave conditions.

7’9’’ Natural Surf 2 An updated design of an old favourite!Perhaps the most versatile of the ACS range, The Easy Rider is everything its name promises - an excellent combination of longboard stability and manoeuvrability, with just enough length to make it easy to control. Its user-friendly design provides ample flotation to catch all types of waves while the performance shape enables ‘down-the-line’ fun for first timers to advanced surfers. The Natural Surf 2 gives lightweights and smaller surfers an easy to carry, durable and stable “big-board” feel for starting out. However, heavier or bigger surfers will enjoy the mid-range length and proven performance for their transition to shorter boards and bigger surf conditions. Our original 7’9” Natural Surf gained a reputation for versatility, long-lasting and affordable surfboard – so we added subtle changes such as a nose-protector.

8’4’’ Magnum Learning to surf as an adult Built to give performance to bigger surfers, the Magnum’s exceptional volume makes it easy to paddle and catch waves, no matter your size or ability. Offering its riders a fast learning curve, its mid-range length keeps it loose and fun in a wide range of surf conditions. Intermediate surfers will gain confidence and progress quickly by catching heaps of waves and easily turning this board through the faster sections of any break. This durable, ACS built, 8’4” Magnum surfboard will fuel your surfing addiction!

9’4’’ Super Magnum For everyone to surf on ! The new 9’4’’ Super Magnum follows in the footsteps of the celebrated 8’4’’ with a very clear aim : guarantee easy access to the surf experience for any size of rider. An even easier ride than the 8’4’’, its big and well distributed volume makes surfing your first waves simple for all levels of rider ! Paddling, take-off and surfing become childplay ! The 9’4’’ Super Magnum’s big volume doesn’t inhibit in any way its superb agility and speed through the tightest of carve turns, making it a great board for fast progression for beginner surfers. The 9’4’’ Super Magnum’s super-strong ACS construction opens up the surf experience to anyone who cares to try.

ACS Padded For beginners and surf clubs The ACS PAD series takes all the benefits of the ACS’ s great shapes with unbeatable durability and couples it with a Segmented EVA deck pad. Meaning there is now no need for wax, ensuring the board stays clean for longer while providing unbeatable traction and a great indicator of where to stand on the board. A great option for surf schools and any surfer that wants to spend more time surfing and less time waxing.

BIC Sport’s E-Comp (Epoxy Composite) construction technique produces a board that is approximately 30% more durable while being almost identical with regard to stiffness and weight when compared to a similar polyester constructed surfboard. To accommodate the needs of more advanced surfers, E-Comp surfboards provide shapes that not only suit the intermediate surfer, but also experienced riders who know how to ride a surfboard.

7’6’’ Performer Performance perfection!

Combining that elusive blend of versatility and performance with unbeatable durability, the 7’6” Performer lives up to its name! Possessing the stability and ease of a longboard with integral design elements of a quick-turning shortboard, the Performer offers you the chance to pump up your surfing technique while decreasing your board length. Able to embrace a wide range of wave conditions, it offers heaps of fun and a versatile ride through its tested, refined and proven shape. Constructed via BIC Surf’s E-Comp Technology, a light weight EPS foam core layered with epoxy resins and fibreglass is thermoformed with an epoxy-hybrid outer shell.

9’0’’ Longboard A longboard with no limits!

Handling both small waves and pumping swell with style, the Classic Longboard offers both beginners and seasoned noseriders a ride with endless possibilities! No matter if you are looking to hang five, get tubed or perform a roundhouse cutback, the Classic Longboard is with you all the way. Effortlessly bringing together modern technology with old-school style, our 9’0” will satisfy surfers of all levels. Beginners will appreciate its volume and a forgiving outline, while advanced wave walkers will be impressed with the way it handles pumped up swell and rides sweetly through the high-line into and out of radical sections. Built with the durable E-Comp construction, the Classic Longboard will last you many years and through thousands of great surfs!

9’4’’ Nat Young The elder statesman’s choice

When five times world champion Nat Young declares his respect for a particular longboard, you know it’s going to be exceptional. Designed by his long time surfing mate Darrell “Rooster” Dell, this 9’4” is Nat’s personal favourite – and it’s also the preferred longboard of many intermediate and experienced surfers who want a longboard that combines superb design, smooth wave entry and speed with exceptional manoeuvrability.Darrell’s 9’4’’ design is lightly concaved with conventional rocker through the nose, which then flows into a flattened area right below the rider in the paddling position to allow efficient paddling and smooth wave selection. From there it moves into a rolled V, pronounced under foot to provide easy and smooth rail to rail transitions. Managing to deftly combine the delicate combination of those two critical design factors ensures that the board is the ultimate in versatile surfing, with all the characteristics of regular construction with regard to weight and stiffness, and the sturdiness of E-Comp Technology.

For 2012 BIC Sport is launching a new range of surf boards, the SUPERFROG. Designed by top class shapers, they’re made with a new light weight Epoxy/fibreglass laminated polystyrene core. This technique differs from the more traditional polyester/fibreglass around a polyurethane core by being much lighter and having vastly superior mechanical qualities, delivering a much better feel on the water.

Egg / Fish

2 x EGG boards and a FISH make up the short board part of the new SUPERFROG collection.The EGGS are designed for surfing in the smallest waves. Their relatively thick profile and comfortable width make them ideal for bigger and more experienced surfers to ride in light surf. But they’re also great fun for intermediate/lighter weight riders in any kind of conditions.5’8’’ : short and wide, the 5’8’’ Egg has been shaped to let you surf even the smallest waves. The thin, rounded tail plus the concave V-finished hull give the board dynamic responsiveness. Going hard in soft surf is exactly what it likes !6’2’’ : this board is designed for riders looking for great fun and good progression. Its generous volume and rounded shape give it a really easy take-off. Its flat rocker gives it excellent glide allowing you to surf in your natural style without forcing. 6’0’’ FISH : A classic shape that has endured since the 70s, this is also the must-have weapon for light surf. It was designed for surfers who like riding smaller waves but who don’t want to move on to a Mini-Malibu or Longboard. Its tight rocker line and wide rear section give it excellent forward speed. The swallow tail gives it amazing carve, even in the tightest turns, despite its relative width. Can be configured for tri-fin (thruster) or old-school twinzer fin set-up.

Hydro Fish

Four Peter Hosking signature shapes make up this range that combines versatility with performance. From 6'0" to 7'0" (for each size of rider a board to suit !), the Hydro Fish are for riders looking for a board that's shorter than a longboard or mini-mal, without dropping down to a shortboard. The Hydro Fish have enough volume for an easy take-off, good manoeuvrability and board speed. They're fitted with FCS Thruster M5 fins, and come with two extra fins for riding a Quad configuration.

Longboard

The completely new Superfrog longboard series is a cocktail of traditional shapes and more modern ideas. They have all been shaped by Gérard Dabbadie. The 8’2’’ is a compact, versatile, high performance board that combines tradition and modern thinking, with its swallow tail and subtle wingers. In the same spirit, the 9’ has a more classic overall style combined with some more modern touches that give the board excellent glide and you an easy ride. The 9’2’’ sits squarely in the longboard tradition, its classic lines giving you a «pure longboard» ride including knee-drop turns and other noseriding moves.

To meet the needs of the surf club and school sectors, we’ve conceived the G-Boards, a range of foam construction boards with a very clearly defined performance spec. : easy-riding G-Boards with the kind of performance to make complete beginners feel totally safe, and start delivering fun and excitement right from the start, giving a high level of solidity, using materials chosen specifically for their resistance to bumps and knocks, and the all-round strength to take it all in their stride.

The G-Boards range has been assembled by top board shapers and is manufactured from the highest quality materials :The core of the board is made from a slab of closed-cell, fully watertight foam. A stringer gives the board good stiffness along its length, and the «Slick Skin» polyethylene skin gives excellent glide, cushioning bumps and having impressive knock-resistance. The cushioned EVA foam anti-slip deck pad gives superb comfort under your feet. The flexible, series-mounted fins are super-efficient and give excellent stability. The G-Boards range is divided into two categories :

G-Boards Classic

The G-Boards Classic (red) have been designed for complete beginners who want to buy their first foam board at the right kind of price. The quality and knock-resistance of the materials used gives beginner surfers the confidence to start surfing in total safety without risk of injury to themselves or damage to their board. Sizes : 5’6’’ Kid, 6’6’’, 7’0’’, 7’6’’, 8’0’’

G-Boards Original

The G-Boards Original (blue) are essentially the «original» G-Boards whose strength and reliability has become the stuff of legend. Also designed by top board shapers, easy to ride, super-safe, and construction materials chosen for their exceptional durability. Hyper UV and knock-resistant, they’re the ideal board for surf schools and surf rentals with intensive usage. Sizes : 8’0’’, 8’6’’, 9’0’’

Two technologies to optimise your sailingBIC Sport is the only windsurf manufacturer in Europe and the only one to have mastered composite material technology, thermoformed in aluminium moulds, a technology which guarantees the exact replica of the original shapes designed by the shaper and riders. Several techniques are used and the material is optimised according to the sailing programs.

CTS and TSThis technology is relevant to the CTS and TS boards, which are boards made from a low-density polystyrene core, covered by a fibreglass coat with carbon fibre reinforcements. Resin is then applied to this fibre, and the whole mix undergoes a high-pressure thermoforming procedure in one single process. That gives optimum results from the materials, reducing weight and giving a performance equal to more expensive sandwich construction boards but with much better resistance to knocks than Epoxy Sandwich. • CTS : Stiffness, light weight and strength. Incorporates uni-directional carbon fibre reinforcements along the rails und under the footpad (Techno 293 One Design).• TS : Compromise weight/strength with glass fibre reinforcements at all the important points on the board (Techno / Core / Nova).

Twin Sheet PEOn the Beach boards, the outer skin is made out of polyethylene, the same as that used on BIC Sport kayaks with their proven strength. The internal construction is a high-density polyurethane foam with its massive knock-resistance properties. This technology means we can produce ultra-strong boards which suit perfectly the needs of windsurf schools, and that of individuals just getting started.

The Techno 293 One Design is today the most dynamic windsurf class in the world. The Techno 293 One Design, the official one design board for the young under the age of 17 racing on an international level, has undergone an explosion of interest in the last few years. The last World Championships which were held in San Francisco in 2011 brought together competitors from 30 countries and 4 continents; the number of riders in this class has once again increased dramatically, a testimony to the exceptional dynamism of the class. If you wish to race on an equal footing with high quality affordable equipment, without having to renew it constantly, the Techno 293 OD class is the one for you!For all the latest information and news, competition results, etc., visit www.bicsport.com or www.techno293.org

Techno 293 OD

What helped the Techno 293 OD become such a successful Class Racing board was its general performance and easy control. With a high volume and moderate outline, the Techno 293 OD provides a stable platform for learning to windsurf. A daggerboard provides directional stability and makes sailing upwind a breeze. In light winds, the near 3 m length helps the board really glide through the water, making windsurfing an exciting option in sub-planing conditions. Once the wind gets up, the concave hull helps boost the board onto the plane making for great funboard sailing. Its lightweight and solid construction ensure that performance and durability remain even after intensive use.Competition aside, the Techno 293 OD is ideal for learning and leisure funboarding. This versatility enables clubs to reduce their overheads and equipment costs by having just one board model from learning right through to racing. With high quality fittings it really is a reliable, high performance board, comfortable in all water conditions.

Beginner level windsurf boards have made considerable progress as regards their stability, and that for some time now, but are nevertheless frequently a bit fragile for the kind of intensive use they get. The Beach range responds to the needs of windsurf clubs and is the result of an innovative mix of technologies already to be found on BIC surf boards and kayaks. The outer skin of polyethylene is the same as that used on BIC Sport kayaks with their proven strength. The internal construction borrows from the BIC ACS surf board with its massive knock-resistance. The shapes have been developed with maximum stability for beginners in mind but are still very manoeuvrable to help learn some progression moves.Beach boards will therefore be very useful for windsurf schools looking for good, solid, modern and easy to learn on boards. Both models come with a retractable daggerboard system that is very simple to tune.

Beach 225 D Learning and progression

The most easily accessible of the Beach series. It will suit heavier weight beginners looking for a highly stable board for learning in good, strong conditions.

Beach 175 D Great compromise of thrills and stability

The Beach 175 is a great compromise board for medium weight beginners. Quite long, it gives excellent glide in lighter winds but is still very manoeuvrable.

BIC Windsurf | Techno Rigs

Powerful acceleration, light in the hands, and a huge wind range!

In order to support the growth and development of the Techno 293 OD and Hybrid classes, BIC Windsurf developed the One Design Rig package for use specifically by youth sailors on hybrid boards. This rig package has been designed to be raced in the widest wind range possible, representing the best possible compromise between light wind pumping performance and high wind planing performance.

The key features of these rigs include:• A huge wind range: from 6 to 30 knots. By tuning the downhaul and outhaul, the sail can be rigged either very full with a tight leech, or very flat with an open leech.• A draft placement at approx. 40% from the front of the sail (freeride sails = 30% / sub-planing sails = 50%), offering the best compromise between lightwind performance and high wind control. • 6 batten / 2 cam configuration for the best compromise between weight and performance.• A very stable profile for ease of use and control in the high winds.• A tack strap tensioner for maximum tuning range and power in light winds.• X-Ply reinforcements in critical areas, durable luff pocket material and webbing batten tensioners for ease of use and practicality in a club and racing environment.

Though you may not win every race in all wind conditions, the goal of the One Design sails is to make sure that you have the tools to win the regatta!

Delivered in a very practical sail bag that includes additional pockets for storing the mast and the mast base, and the possiblity

to attach the boom so that it can be carried « all in one ».

Learning has never been so easy!!

The Nova rig package is the ideal choice for “leisure” sailing on relatively flat water. It has been designed with pure simplicity and durability in mind, and is ideally suited with our Nova range of boards. It allows you to learn and progress into the sport of windsurfing without worrying about your equipment!

The sail has been designed on a fixed mast and boom length, so when you get to the beach all you have to do is thread the mast up the sail, pull the downhaul to the base of the mast, the outhaul to the clew of the boom, and then go sailing! The sail is made from tough Dacron, is well reinforced and super hard wearing, great for intensive use. The mast is made with a durable composite construction, while the boom has a minimum number of moveable parts making it easy to use, light weight, and durable.

This Nova package is aimed at beginner to intermediate windsurfers who want to easily progress in the sport. For clubs, it offers a tough, versatile rig package for intensive use by learning windsurfers and funboarders.

Easy handling all rounder with a steady, smooth powerIdeal for either our Techno or Core boards, the Core is a pure freeride rig, both easy to use and lightweight, a rig that really performs in light to moderate winds.

Its modern design gives it a wide wind range despite the absence of cambers. With plenty of sail area down low, it’s got plenty of power to get you up and planing easily, with a smooth and steady pull allowing you to get into the harness and footstraps comfortably.

With no cams it is easy to manoeuvre during gybes, tacks, and tricks. With its soft response it is a rig that is easy to control and simply fun to ride. The Core comes with a quality mast and wishbone and is excellent value for money. It’s ideal for all our freeride boards and for making your first runs.

s The seat ergonomics of the whole BIC Sport kayak range havebeen particularly developed for optimum paddling comfort.• The seat is roomy and comfortable, and is also inclined andpadded to keep the paddler in place, and relieve leg pressurewhile using the foot braces.• The centre of gravity is positioned low for better stability, butabove the flotation line so that the bottom of the seat stays dry.An optional seat is available as an accessory to optimize comfort.• The comfortable paddling position of the YAKKAir HP and Nomad kayaks gets similar attention to detail, with a dry paddling position on a rigid base, fully fitted (backrest and foot stretchers) that gives paddlers unrivalled comfort for an inflatable.

THD - Tri Hull Design : designed for funThe unique THD shape provides the optimum in speed, comfort and stability for BIC Sport Kayaks. The result of 30 years of BIC Sport watercraft design and innovation, the THD shape has been developed to provide improved gliding and stability while maintaining maneuverability. Inspired from current tri-maran designs, the THD shape features a central section (1) for increased gliding, two outside hull sections (2) to stabilize the kayak and two intermediate concaves (3) to create lift and an optimal mix of water and air for heightened performance. These designs have also been picked up on by the Observeur du Design, which has awarded BIC Sport numerous prestigious

"Etoiles du Design". These Etoiles were in recognition not only of the kayak design, but also of BIC Sport's TST

construction technology that is environmentally friendly.

YAKKAir and Nomad: tomorrow's inflatablesThe choice of materials and the design of the YAKKAir and the Nomad

have been the subject of an enormous amount of research, resulting in kayaksthat are light weight, good looking and delivers great performance. The dynamic,double-concave hull gives the kind of handling you’d normally expect from a rigid.

A revolution in inflatable kayak design. An award has actually been granted to this concept end of 2009 with our YAKKAir HP 1 having been rewarded with an Etoile du Design.

With its narrow, water-cutting bow section and clean hull shape, the Scapa is a boat that is designed for speed. The look matches the feel in every way but still retains the excellent stability and added safety and comfort you expect from a BIC ‘Sit on Top’.With excellent speed, the Scapa is a true sport boat designed and built for fast cruising and physical conditioning. What’s more, it’s an excellent boat for learning sea kayaking. Even in difficult sea conditions, the Scapa holds its course thanks to its superb glide and reassuring stability.

Duo compactBIC Kayaks | Sit-on-top | Trinidad

The Trinidad is a kayak purpose-built for leisure : compact, capable of taking two adults and a child on board, it’s highly versatile and stable making it suitable for all kinds of situations. For family outings, the ergonomic seats and stability are very reassuring for when you are far from the beach. And for serious paddling and exploring, solo or two-up, its very low-draught, hull design and wide rear storage area are really useful for getting where you want, wherever that is, for going further, faster. As a final bonus, the Trinidad can be fitted with a small electric motor to give it even more possibilities.

Family outings with the childrenFishing tripsOvernight campingEngine powered kayaking

The Kalao is quite the 4x4 of the kayak world. Equally at ease on the sea, rivers or for fun, it really is the kayak for all adventures. Like all BIC Sport kayaks it features plenty of innovations. The fluid, stable hull design makes it simple for a family of two adults and two children to all ride together in complete comfort. That makes it the first true 3 (adult) person sit-on-top on the market, with 3 proper ergonomic seats. Essentially, the Kalao combines capacity of the old style family canoe, with the safety of a Sit-on-Top kayak!The other big first : it can be adapted to take an electric motor. The largely flat hull design with very little water draught is extremely stable and allows the kayak to go almost anywhere. Such aspects as storing your belongings while kayaking, as well as carrying and transporting your kayak have all also received detailed attention. One other important point : it’s unsinkable.

The Sit-In Kayak for all

BIC Kayaks | Sit-in | Adventure 150

The Adventure 150 is the logical next step after our SOTs, enabling one to move on to a more physical type of kayaking, without difficulty. Its glide and performance is much better than that of a Sit-On-Top and its little skeg at the stern give it good tracking.Its wide cockpit gives good leg protection and it can be fitted with a spray skirt. Wider than more sporty types of kayaks, it allows more freedom of movement and allows one to get on and off easily without the fear of staying stuck. On the Adventure 150, it is therefore easy to get back in after capsizing, after a swim or an under-water diving session.Stable, compact, fast, it has been designed with comfortable volume, and is equipped with large hatches for storage. With the Adventure 150 you can go off on a trip with enough equipment (up to 135 Kg max load) and track fast without necessarily having had lots of practice.

Developed directly from the successful YAKKAir HP, the YAKKAir Lite is aimed specifically at coastal paddling close to the beach, for rivers and for other inland waters.Suitable for all skill levels, stable, strong and light weight, the YAKKAir Lite is the ideal way to get out on the water on your holidays. Folded down into its tough storage bag, it's simple to transport either on foot or in the boot of your car. On the construction side, the same multi-material format as used on the YAKKAir HP (Polyurethane bladders + Dacron bladder sleeve, multi-tube bottom with a coated fabric outer skin) has been used. The rigid stiffeners at front and rear tips help to pre-form the hull, sharpening the cutting edge and further improving the already excellent glide.YAKKAir kayaks can be fitted with flexible deck cover to keep splash water out, without any hindrance to movement or safety.

The YAKKAir Lite1 has been conceived for one person use. Stable, fast, light weight and super comfortable, it's a fully-equipped kayak with a comfortable seat coming as standard.

The YAKKAir range is a true revolution in inflatable kayaks. The guiding principle of these innovative boats has been the use of multiple materials in the construction to help reduce weight, plus the combination of a keel and a high-pressure inflatable hull/floor to maximise the V effect and performance. The YAKKAir series are lighter, perform better and give a more comfortable ride than conventional inflatable kayaks as you are paddling in the dry thanks to the rigid high-pressure floor. Wind drag/resistance is reduced and they are easier to steer at sea, giving them a performance equal to that of existing rigid designs. YAKKAir kayaks are perfect for your seaside holidays : folded down into a carry bag, they're easy to carry on foot or in the boot of your car and are fully inflated for use in minutes using a high-pressure pump with a pressure gauge. YAKKAir kayaks can be fitted with flexible deck cover to keep splash water out, without any hindrance to movement or safety.

The YAKKAir HP1 has been conceived for one person use. Stable, fast, light weight and super comfortable, it's a fully-equipped kayak with a comfortable seat and foot stretchers coming as standard.

SAILING!

A wind of change is what the O’pen BIC has brought to the world of dinghy sailing for kids. Designed specifically for kids, the O’pen BIC is a true glide machine for real excitement on the water. The O’pen BIC, with its modern and powerful rig, is a fast boat, quick to respond, self-bailing, and is fitted by the best marine hardware manufacturers (North, Ronstan, Robline). The O’pen BIC is THE link between the Optimist generation and the new generation of sailing dinghies. Launched in 2006, the O’pen BIC has already convinced more than 5000 young sailors around the world. They love the fun they can get out of it, its capacity to react fast and its prowess. An ISAF international class is also very active for those who enjoy competitive racing. Fruit of this dynamism was the large participation at the last World Cup in Ascona, Switzerland, where 140 young sailors from 10 countries around the world competed. This success comes from the work put in by several sailing federations in establishing national race programs and in having chosen the O’pen BIC to be their officially-recognised boat for their young sailors.

O’pen BIC

For fun, recreation, perfection & racing

The hull is made of thermo-formed polyethylene, which is both affordable and durable. The O’pen BIC is also produced in the spirit of sustainable development: low-energy consumption during the production process and all production waste is recycled. The hull is 100% recyclable, very durable in the long-term and requires minimum maintenance and upkeep. In 2007 BIC Sport was awarded the French Sailing Industry’s «Prix du Bateau Bleu» for the ecological concept behind the O’pen BIC.

Durable and eco friendly construction

On the O’pen BIC, capsizing is a game

The O’pen BIC accelerates quickly to planing speed

Technical data

Planing hull :The pleasure of gliding

Flat skin :No risk of injurywhen capsizing

Easy to rig :Cunningham tackle (6 threads + cleat) and mainsail tackle (3 threads + ratchet block) Mounted on automatic snaphooks: Short set-up time

100% self-draining open cockpit : Child is safe and autonomous

Chine bilged :Good stability

Liftable rudder :Easy to handle

Ergonomical cockpit :No angles, great freedom

of movement and comfort

Integrated carrying handles :Easy to carry

The hull of the O’pen BIC was designed with fun sailing as the priority. It is a modern boat where the hull is as open as possible, thereby leaving the helmsman completely free to move around and trim the boat to any wind and water conditions. When hiking, the large sides allow the sailor to set-up comfortably with his/her feet in the straps without placing any unnecessary stress on the body. The totally open and sloping cockpit means that there is absolutely no water in the boat either during sailing or just after a capsize. A relatively hard chine design was chosen for the bottom shape of the hull. Used by numerous modern boat architects, this design offers an excellent compromise between performance and stability. When reaching or broad-reaching, the boat accelerates quickly to planing speed. When close-reaching, the boat sets on its chine and has excellent performance up wind. The hull includes integrated carry handles for easy launching into the water and easy transport.

Rigging the O’pen BIC takes less than 2 minutes

The aim of the International O’pen BIC Class is to provide an exciting format of international and national dinghy sailing for young sailors. The steady annual growth of the Events’ Calendar is proof that the Class’s formula of providing exciting race formats on an attractive boat is a great success. At present there are over 10 countries that have regular event calendars of national competitions, and the international World O’pen Cup is the pinnacle each year. The O’pen Cup event style is very original, with some highly innovative courses and race rules derived from funboarding, where races are short and quick, the course changes regularly and can include crosswind legs and freestyle moves or an adventure race, and protests are judged immediately out on the water so no racing time or effort is wasted! These improvements are in line with ISAF’s Introductory Rules of Sailing, and are quite a break from the last 40 years of «classic» sailing. O’pen Cups are a cocktail of fun and pure regatta racing, great for motivating our young sailors and keeping them hooked for life! More information on the Class rules and on the various regattas worldwide can be found on the Class website: http://class.openbic.com

BOATING!

Used as tenders for boats and for fishing, the Sportyak 213 and Sportyak 245 are more stable, more durable and lighter than the classical dinghies thanks to their particular hull and the technology used to make them. More than 100 000 BIC boats have so far been manufactured and they have become a standard feature in the yachting world. The Sportyak 213 and 245 are stable, strong, light and 100% recyclable at the end of their life-cycle.

Exceptional stability

Their catamaran hull gives them much more stability than all flat or V hulls. This is a major advantage for hunting, fishing or the transport of equipment to an anchored boat. The Sportyak 245 can comfortably accommodate three people who can, if necessary, change sides without any risk of capsizing.

Comparison Sportyak 245 versus V-hullAs soon as the weight is off-centre a V-Hull becomes

unstable and dangerous, unlike the double catamaran shape hull of the Sportyak 245, which provides high stability and therefore prevents capsizing.

Test done with two adults on the same side.

The safety of the double hull

The double hull gives added safety to passengers. Even if a very violent impact made a hole on the outside hull, the inner hull would provide sufficient flotation to get back to shore.

Light weight

Easily carried

The Sportyak 213 and the Sportyak 245 are light which is an essential characteristic for a boat that is most of the time carried by hand and loaded onto roof racks. It is thanks to their double hull structure that even though they are very light, there has been no compromise on safety aspects.

The Sportyak 213 and the Sportyak 245 are particularly easy to carry. Several carry-handles have been positioned around the Sportyak 245 to facilitate its beach-launching and handling. The Sportyak 213 can be fitted with a roller kit. The Sportyak 245 is fitted with wide rollers integrated into the design of the hull which do not affect in any way the boat’s performance on water, whether it is being rowed or powered by an outboard engine.

The Sportyak 213 and the Sportyak 245 are made of polyethylene which makes them virtually indestructible. You don’t have to worry about leaving them in dinghy racks or on the beach. UV rays, salt and every day impacts have no effect on them. When no longer in use, these boats are entirely recyclable.

On the Sportyak 245 the wheels are integrated into the design of the hull

Focus on experienceBIC Boats | Sportyak 245

With their exceptional light weight and great build quality, their incredible longevity, and above all, their incomparable stability, BIC boats have built a solid reputation in the world of leisure boating. The new Sportyak 245 is the result of 35 years of experience and development ! This mid sized dinghy combines the best features of those other legendary boats that are the BIC 252 and the Sportyak 213. Light weight, easy to transport, giving you excellent glide when you row, it can also be fitted with either a thermal or electric motor. From carrying men and equipment to an anchored boat, to getting out to the best fishing spots, to being a great toy for the kids… There are almost no limits for this super safe and versatile boat !

Priority to stability and safety

Priority to stability and safety : a large proportion of serious accidents in leisure boating happen on small boats serving larger craft. Safety has all too often been overlooked on this type of boat, but safety was the top priority for the 245’s designers. Four factors guided the design team in their work : keeping the weight evenly balanced when in use, being unsinkable, stability and getting back on board in case of falling off. The team tested every conceivable “accident” scenario and the Sportyak 245 is the result of all that work.The relatively low cockpit rim and numerous carry handles etc. make climbing back in after falling/jumping out simple and safe. When empty, the cockpit float line is below the level of the floor, allowing the cockpit to auto-empty.

One, two or three people can fit comfortably in a 245. The double rowing position allows you to choose your seating configuration. That means you can adjust to any size oarsman for efficient rowing without compromising balance.

The details that make all the difference

The rowing seat is fitted with integral “glove compartments”, and the carry handles and other openings make it easy to fit an anti-theft cable around the boat. The flat rear design was also designed for simple, safe upright

All-terrain wheels make transport easy

The Sportyak 245 is fitted with two wide rollers for easy handling over beaches, banks and jetties. The wheels are integrated into the design of the hull and don’t in any way affect its performance in water. You can load all your equipment in the boat and take it easily down to the water’s edge !

Integrated handles are user friendly

The various carry handles make the boat easy to carry for one or more people. It weighs in at just 39 kg, making it easy to load onto a roof rack.
