Sup | Surf | Windsurf | Kayak | Sailing

On the competition scene, BIC Sport created a brand new concept in junior windsurfing with the BIC Techno 293 One Design board, which has now become the officially recognised race board for Under 17 riders worldwide. This monotype/formula race class has grown at an incredible rate in over 40 countries already. Now BIC Sport has re-created the same energy with its junior race dinghy, the truly innovative O’pen BIC, which has totally remotivated the world of junior sailing in over 30 countries. In 2013 BIC Sport went back to the future, this time fuelling the big new board sport of Stand Up Paddle, launching the BIC SUP One Design Challenge, a challenge that has been met with astonishing success, more than 300 events registered for the year so far.

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

BIC Sport Sup Surf Windsurf Kayak

Every BIC Sport manufactured board has been conceived by an expert shaper and made in France using production systems that faithfully reproduce perfect copies of the original prototypes. The unique construction and materials guarantee you many years of reliable, high performance service. Today, BIC Sport is acknowleged as the pioneer of mass-production surf boards in the highly demanding surfer market ; but it’s also one of the European leaders in the Sit-on-Top kayak market thanks to its range of innovative products that have won them numerous design awards. Latest into the board sports roster, Stand Up Paddle, is currently an area of specially dynamic development. It’s a sport that’s growing at a phenomenal rate, one that represents more than ever the values of simplicity and accessibility that have made the BIC brand such a long-standing success. BIC Sport has received two more awards in 2013, recognising its achievements : the highly prestigious «GEAR OF THE YEAR» prize, from American magazine Outdoor Buyer’s Guide, for the BIC SUP Wing 11’ and 12’6, plus «Brand of the Year» awarded by the Eurosima organisation.

Sailing

Founded in 1979 and long-established on the Breton coast in France, BIC Sport was created by Baron Bich, a man passionate about the sea and sailing, who used his industrial prowess and know-how to develop modern windsurfing, the first grass roots board sport of the 1980s. Quickly established as the world leader in windsurf manufacture, BIC Sport has, in the last twenty years, used its technological manufacturing skills to diversify into other market segments including surf, kayak, junior racing dinghies and, most recently, into Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP). BIC’s core values of quality, durability and affordability form the foundation of the brand’s reputation and opened up the world of board sports to hundreds of thousands of lovers of the elements, thrill-seekers, and those simply happy to spend time close to nature, out on the water, doing something environmentally sound. In fact, BIC Sport has made respect for the environment a priority in every stage of how it’s production systems are organised. This committment has now been ratified by the Ecoride organization and recognised by other business awards such as the «Prix du Bateau Bleu».

BIC Sport Sustainable Development

Sustainable development: a major priority for BIC Sport

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

BIC Sport has been manufacturing watersport products for over 30 years. Long before there was any awareness of environmental issues, it was keen to use a « clean » manufacturing process whereby 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.

Eco-Design and Environmental Awareness Low energy consumption

No pollution

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

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

Few resources used

100% recyclable

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

• 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.

Ecoride recognition Developed by EuroSIMA Cluster in collaboration with the ADEME, Ecoride is a tool which provides the ability to measure and determine environmental efforts of companies within the boardsports industry. BIC Sport got this recognition thanks to its implementation of an environmental management system for the entire company.

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. • SUP: BIC Sport received the 2013 Outside Magazine GEAR OF THE YEAR award for the 12’6 and 11’ WING Stand Up Paddleboards. The Outside summer Buyer’s Guide not only highlights the very best in adventure gear, from sports equipment but also calls out the best values in each class. • BIC Sport has been voted Brand of the Year 2013 by EuroSIMA, (Europe-wide trade association for board sports). The Brand of the Year award recognises the actions and efforts made by manufacturers having had a golden year in terms of progression, product development, and/or a major boost of brand image accross Europe during the year.

BIC Sport The Machinery

BIC Sport is the proud owner of an industrial tool that is unique in the world, capable of three different manufacturing techniques : thermoforming, thermoforming around a polystyrene core, and blow moulding/blown extrusion. BIC Sport is the only manufacturer in the world to have these three manufacturing techniques available on one production site. This enables us to produce six different product types.

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

Hollow Twin-Sheet thermoforming The principle : two slabs (deck and hull) are heat-moulded in an aluminium mould then pressure-fused together. The whole thing is then cooled and taken for finishing in the workshops. Products using this technique : kayaks, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;pen BIC, tenders and dinghies

Thermoforming around a polystyrene core The principle : a polystyrene blank is covered with fibreglass layers which is then impregnated with resin before being moved to a mould containing two prepared thermomoulded ASA finishing sheets. The mould is pressure-sealed, then cooled, the finished product extracted and sent for finishing. Products using this technique : CTS windsurf boards, ACE-TEC surf boards, ACE-TEC SUP boards

Blow moulding/Blown extrusion The principle : a tube of extruded (molten) polyethylene is gravity-moulded and then shaped by being blown against the inner walls of its hollow mould. Next itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooled, taken out of the mould and moved to a steel shaper where it is expansion-filled with high density polyurethane foam. Products using this technique : Beach windsurf boards, DURA-TEC surf boards, DURA-TEC SUP boards

A high-tech production facility Right at the heart of the factory where production boards are manufactured, the RACE-TEC workshop is an essential component of the BIC Sport research and development facility. It comprises a shaping room, a digitally controlled KMS 4-axis shaping machine, a laminating room, and separate sanding and painting rooms. Products using this technique : RACE-TEC SUP boards

BIC Sport One Design Competitions

9000 riders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 40 countries

300 events - 20 countries

6000 boats – 30 countries BIC Sport One Design Competitions: The growing success of fun, friendly competitive watersports One of the primary reasons Baron Bich founded BIC Sport was to make watersports activities affordable and accessible for everyone. In fact, he often talked of the windsurfer as the ‘bicycle of the sea’. To this end, BIC Sport put resources and energy into the development of ‘One Design’ competitions. These fun, friendly formats level the playing field for all participants since everyone uses the same equipment, and eliminates the ‘arms race’ that pushes competitive sports towards exotic, ever more expensive equipment. The appeal of One Design formats first gained traction in 2005 among youth windsurfers with the development of the Techno 293 One Design class, which has gone on to become THE worldwide recognized board for youth Under 17 competitions. Affordable, easy to ride and with great performance, the Techno 293 OD has, in the space a few short years, become the most dynamic sailing class in windsurfing with more than 9000 young racers now competing. Expanding upon this success BIC Sport launched the O’pen BIC junior sailboat in 2006, which quickly became an ISAF International Class. The international body had clearly recognized the new dinghy as a way of attracting more youngsters to sailing, and today there are more than 6000 O’pen BICs sailing in over 30 countries, with several national sailing associations also approving the Class and it’s fun sailing format at a national level. The newest arrival in the BIC Sport family, SUP, has embraced the One Design concept with the launch in 2013 of the ‘BIC SUP One Design Challenge’. The objective of this latest addition to the BIC Sport One Design family is for paddlers of all skill levels to race together on one single model : the award-winning Wing 12’6. As with the Techno 293 OD and the O’pen BIC, there’s no equipment advantage, which places the focus clearly on the performance of each individual. 2013 was the first year for this latest series, and over 300 successful SUP One Design contests were held worldwide!

Stand Up Paddling, Paddleboarding, Paddlesurfing, SUP Whatever you choose to call it, there’s something magical about the simple act of walking on water. And unlike other board sports that demand hours and hours of practice to become proficient, SUP is easy to learn, simple to do and incredibly FUN. It appeals equally to men and women, young and old, families, fitness freaks, thrill seekers, yogis, or anyone curious enough to give it a try. Once ‘on board’, SUP offers a uniquely elevated perspective on the water and is a perfect way to explore secluded, hidden coves and coastlines. With unrivaled ease of use and versatility, SUP is a sport and a lifestyle that keeps you one paddle stroke away from adventures big and small.

Pictured to the left are BIC SUP ambassadors Carine, Manu and their daughter Lou. Early converts to SUP, they spend their days traveling the planet with boards and paddles, seeking out the most beautiful islands, stunning waves and native cultures: Tuamotu, Marquises, Palau, India, just a few of the destinations logged in their SUP travel diary. Then there are the elite sportsmen and women, including BIC SUPs own Eric Terrien. They push themselves to the very limits over long distances in open ocean swells and sprint through marker buoys in the surf zone, attempting to discover their own personal limits and find out just how fast they really are. Followers of a more Zen approach prefer paddling away from the crowds, using their boards as a mobile Yoga mat or personal gym in the search for physical balance. Julie Roach, Nikki Gregg and Jodelle Fitzwater are a few BIC SUP ambassadors who helped pioneer this exciting new discipline. Other enthusiasts appreciate the benefits of compact, portable inflatable boards for sailing and boating adventures as well as convenient air travel. And of course there are the wave riders, constantly searching for the indescribable glide unique to surfing. Surfing on an SUP offers the advantage, and unique challenge, of remaining upright both on the waves and off.

Whether you’re a total beginner, top level pro, zen master or surf seeker, BIC SUP has a full range of boards to suit all skills and all styles. Best of all, the vast majority of our boards are built in France, using environmentally-friendly, non-polluting manufacturing techniques. In the pages that follow you’ll find the new 2014 collection. We’re confident you’ll find a board, and a paddle, that will take you where you’re looking to go. See you on the water!

BIC SUP Board Selector The table below is designed to help you choose the right Stand Up Paddleboard for your size and the type of activities you plan to use your board for. The basic rule is, the heavier the rider, the more board volume and width you will need for a stable ride. However, extra width isn’t always better as a wider board typically has less glide and can be more difficult to paddle properly for a smaller rider. Also, more volume than you need will mean you’re carrying around extra size/weight. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ONE BOARD FOR MANY PEOPLE TO USE, GO WITH ONE OF THE BIGGER SIZE BOARDS. Smaller people can always use a bigger board, but bigger riders won’t be successful on a board that is too small.

Twenty years ago BIC Sport launched the first ever sustainably mass-produced surfboard, opening the sport and market to tens of thousands of would-be surfers by offering them high quality boards at very reasonable prices. BIC Surfboards are designed by some of the world’s best shapers to guarantee high performance and ease of use. Gerard Dabbadie, a French surf legend, has been instrumental in this philosophy. He immediately understood the unique opportunity to bring his shaping expertise to the widest possible audience with BIC Sport’s unique sustainable manufacturing technologies. These exclusive processes allow for unrivaled consistency, meaning every board precisely matches the designers original shape, every time. Dabbadie is responsible for the majority of boards in the BIC Surf range, including the celebrated 7’3 and 7’9. Recently, the 100,000th 7’3 Mini-Malibu rolled off the production line at the factory in Vannes, France. This highly symbolic event was recognized by the European Surf Industry Association (EuroSIMA), which awarded BIC Sport “Brand of the Year” in 2013. This honor applauds not only this unique milestone, but also BIC Sports unique sustainable manufacturing process and the role BIC Surf products have played in helping make surfing accessible and affordable for more people.

BIC Sport also introduced the “one-design” concept to the surfing world with the BIC Longboard Challenge, a professional-level competition launched in 2001. Today the BIC KID One Design contest circuit for French junior surfers is growing this same concept in amateur surfing and is exploding in popularity.

For 2014 the BIC Surf range keeps it simple while making significant upgrades and updates to the range. First off is the brand new DURA-TEC 7’0 Egg. This extremely versatile, ultramodern shape compliments the DURA-TEC range with boards to suit all skill levels, styles and rider sizes. All DURA-TEC boards now feature tail traction pads to maximize performance and comfort for the rider while adding value. The new ACE-TEC range features our four light-weight, high-performance E-Comp longboards, re-engineered for maximum strength and durability while reducing weight. The G-Board Soft Surfboard series also sees a makeover. This unique soft and durable construction now features wider, more user-friendly shapes to maximize ease of use and a fast learning curve for new surfers. These innovative changes, while maintaining a consistent product offering that works for all riders, is what continues to make BIC Surf the largest single-brand surfboard company in the world.

7’0’’ Egg

A no-compromise modern shape featuring a full outline, gradual rocker profile and unique double concave to vee bottom contour. This unique design allows the 7’0 Egg to catch waves with ease, accelerate to speed quickly and remain maneuverable yet controllable in waves of all sizes.

For experienced riders the 7’0 Egg is an all-conditions performer in a rugged construction that you won’t worry about dinging at shallow spots or when your friends borrow it! Five fin-boxes give you the option of a thruster set-up (standard) or quad depending on your surfing style and to match the surf conditions. Shaped by Gerard Dabbadie, a Hossegor legend for over 30 years, best known for shaping super fun mid-sized boards, just like this one! 7’0’’ x 22.00’’ / 214x 56cm / 51L Weight range : ≤176lbs / ≤80kg

Quality boards There are 3 key elements in the purchase of a surfboard : 1. A shape well-adapted to beginners for catching lots of waves and easy progression. 2. A strong, durable construction that will last a lifetime, and 3. A shape that also allows you to progress to the next advanced level! Our DURA-TEC Boards do it all! TAIL PADS : All DURA-TEC Boards now come with tail pads, maximizing your foot grip and control during all manoeuvers and conditions.

Gérard Dabbadie shaped his first board in 1972. A surf fanatic, he worked first on his own riding style and technique, then used the experience and his contact with the top surfers of the day to start creating his own highly personalised shapes that quickly found favour with the top European riders. In 1975 while based in Hossegor (south-west France) he created his signature board brand «Superfrog», before becoming a full-time professional, with its philosophy of «shaping easy, fun-to-ride boards, for all kinds of conditions, with no compromise on strength and performance». Gerard has always retained that personal view on the shape and construction of his boards. He was among the first to use polystyrene sheet and epoxy resin, a big slap in the face for the «traditional» mix of polyurethane sheet and polyester resin that was much heavier and less durable. A small detail perhaps, but one that really made his name among the pro surfers of the period. 40 (!) years on, and Gerard is as attentive as ever to the detail of how his boards are made. Quite apart from the actual board shapes and their effect on performance, which he clearly knows inside-out, what’s behind all the wave-riding fun is an understanding of the most modern, reliable, 100% faithfull manufacturing techniques, so he’s 100% sure of the production boards he designs. Our Superfrog boards are first pre-shaped, using the ultimate shaping tool, the AKU. After that they are coated with fibre and Epoxy, 2 x 6oz (per m2) coats on the hull, 2 x 6oz and 1 x 4oz on the deck for shortboards, 3 x 6oz coats on the longboards.

There is no other board on the market that has so many fibreglass coats, and therefore such strength. Even so, Superfrog boards are amazingly light, the result of 30 years experience in using this construction technology and best quality raw materials on the market, and the passion to want to make it happen. But for Gerard Dabbadie, it’s all about shaping and surfing, rather than dreaming up marketing spiel : NO BLAH BLAH BLAH, as the man himself would and does say.

No Bla-Bla!

Benjamin Pilon

Egg / Fish 5’4 NOSE-LESS : A nose-less shape means that you can have the radical performance and manœuverability of a super short board, but the same comfort and ease of use as a 6’3”. The straight rocker line associated with such a large tail also makes this board very fast with excellent planing. No nose, no problem! 5’8 EGG : The width of a longboard + the length of a shortboard = Incredible planing and performance particularly on small and mushy waves. 5’10 RETRO FISH : A classic “vintage” shape with flat rocker, boxy rails and quite a lot of volume. Twin fin set-up helps you get the maximum looseness. 6’4 EGG : A super popular design that mixes ease of paddling, smooth soft turns and versatility. This board surfs where you want it to, and is the perfect all round fun shortboard for anything from 1-6 foot. Fin Set-up all boards (except 5’10 Retro Fish) : Boards supplied with thruster fins for maximum drive, quad fin set-up possible for more speed and looseness. Advanced

The French Touch!

Benjamin Pilon

Hydro Fish The 4 Hydro-Fish shortboards all have the same concept : Easy surfing in all conditions. Different sizes allow you to fine tune your choice according to desired performance vs. ease of use. The larger 6’8” & 7’0” boards even give the fun surfing of a mini-mal with the look of a shortboard. A wide pointy nose helps catch waves easily and provide stability in the take offs, while the narrow winger swallow tail gives great drive off the bottom turn and control off the top. Super versatile, these boards will surf in anything, from mush to tubes. Thruster or Quad Fin set-ups allow you to adjust the board further to your style.

Longboard 7’4’’ MINI NOSE RIDER & 8’2’’ SUPER 8 : As wide as a 9’0 Longboard, but only 7’4” or 8’2” long, these boards offer maximum glide and still turn like an Egg. A winger swallow tail on the 8’2” gives extra bite in the tight turns. Boards also come with thruster or quad fin set-up. 9’0’’ PERFORMER : An all-round longboard made for modern longboarding in quite powerful waves. Good rocker at the front combined with a subtle concave and progressive lift in the tail make this board extra loose and maneuverable, yet you can still ride it on the nose. A favorite among Hossegor’s longboard locals! 9’2 NOSE RIDER : A traditional shape with a deep concave on the front half of the board for maximum glide and nose riding control, combined with a subtle vee in the tail for solid rail-to-rail transitions. Lots of volume positioned evenly throughout the board for a well-balanced ride. Nose ride right to the beach!

In the face of the goldrush towards elitist boards and the seemingly endless models that have appeared since the year 2000, all supplied by manufacturing in the Far East, BIC Sport has opted to do things very differently, concentrating efforts on a more limited range of products, investing heavily in establishing monotype/formula competitions, and by keeping manufacturing base in France, enabling to respond rapidly to the sport’s even more rapidly changing trends, using unique and highly efficient production facility.

The 2014 Windsurf Collection comprises 4 different board series, concentrating on a more limited number of models in each : • The Techno range is aimed at riders looking for high performance funboard/freeride boards with or without daggerboards. They embody the BIC concept of bringing easy enjoyment in windsurfing and funboarding to the masses • The highly innovative Nova range are light weight boards featuring an integral foot pad. They’re designed for clubs and schools, and for beginners looking to learn fast and progress quickly on the same board. • With the Beach series, you’ll find the unrivalled strength and solidity of polyethylene construction, combined with imaginative modern shapes, at a price that will suit sailing schools and clubs, and families/friends looking for a robust, durable board to get out for some simple fun on the water. • SUP is the latest arrival in the BIC Windsurf range. Our two SUP Wind models are the obvious «missing-link» between windsurf and the new paddle sport that is making such a big impact.

As for competition activity, BIC Sport has been steering a very different course from its market rivals lately. After winning numerous World Championship titles around and after the year 2000, BIC has turned its attention to establishing monotype competitions, alongside the development of the Techno 293 One Design as the worldwide official competition race board for juniors. This has made Techno 293 OD the most dynamic race class in the world today and a true windsurfing phenomenon.

Learn fast, progress easily, get into regattas and racing, spend time having fun on the water ! The BIC Sport vision of windsurfing is one of the most exciting and affordable way of getting yourself under sail, as long as we keep the whole thing simple. We wish you some unforgettable sessions in 2014 !

Techno 293 OD

Start, progress and race 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.

Ever since the release of our first model just after 2000, BIC Sport has been paying special attention to the look, performance, build quality, features and fittings of our kayaks, to ensure maximum fun out on the water. From the easy-riding Sit-On-Tops to the higher performance Sit-Ins, not forgetting the light-weight and easy- transport inflatables, our 2014 collection really has got something to suit all tastes, with great-looking, super-stable boats delivering you a fanstastic ride. Pretty soon, you’ll find it hard to leave the house for your holidays without one!

Resolutely «made in France», BIC Sport kayaks are environmentallyfriendly, using an energy-efficient and non-polluting manufacturing process, with both the production off-cuts and kayak itself (at the end of its life) being 100% recyclable.

To help you make the right choice, our kayaks have been categorised according to their general use. Our range names, «Beach», «Sport», Performance» and «Leisure» will help guide you through our catalogue.

New for 2014, our Sit-On-Top range welcomes the new Borneo, an especially innovative kayak as regards its transportation and its versatility from duo to mono paddling in equal comfort. The Borneo is also available in a Fishing version, with all the extra fittings and features you would expect for succesful fishing expeditions.

Our inflatable range covers all possible choices, with two different series designed for two different types of use. The YAKKAir Lite and Kalyma are entry-level kayaks, well-equipped and easy to paddle for beachside fun. A bit more serious, the Nomad and YAKKAir HP kayaks, with their High Pressure technology, are for faster, longer and more extreme paddling.

We have a totally comprehensive range of accessories and paddles, to help you get maximum enjoyment from all your outings.

Safari, beach fun, or carried on a cruise boat, we wish you a great year’s paddling on any water in all our kayaks !

BIC KAYAKS Design & Technology As a leading specialist in board and water sports, we’ve designed a range of high-performance, aesthetically pleasing kayaks that are as durable as they are innovative : imaginative hull designs, fast and stable ride, thermoformed polyethylene construction produced in France, ergonomically designed cockpits and seats, top quality fittings and fixtures, every possible care has been taken to ensure you get maximum pleasure from your time on the water. Various BIC Sport kayaks have been recognised with awards from the influential «Observateur du Design» magazine for their overall design, innovative features, and the environmental considerations behind their manufacturing/construction technology.

w h e e ls ( B o rn e o ) re ty e id w e bl va o Rem rr y in g a re a ca ge a gg ba s u o ci a p Ca Foam pads o n th e s e a ts E rg o no m ic f o o tr e s ts A br a s io n p ro te ct o r C a n h o u s in g E rg o no m ic s s e a ts S a f e ty lin e s QUALITY FITTINGS AND FEATURES All the integral production fittings of BIC Sport kayaks are top quality to guarantee durability and paddle comfort • Foam seat pads = improved paddle comfort • Rubber-coated front and rear carry handles = easy carrying on land • Protective rear bumper = protection from knocks and easy launching • Removable rear trolley wheels (Borneo) or casters (Bilbao and Tobago) = easier transportation on land • Life lines = easy to climb back on board • Elasticated straps = simple, secure storage for bags and water bottles • Storage net = stores your essential equipment within easy reach

A br a s io n p ro te ct o r

SUPER SOLID BUILD QUALITY TST - Twin Sheet Technology : The exclusive Twin Sheet technology used in the construction of BIC Sport kayaks is acheived by using thermoformed Polyethylene sheets. The deck and hull sections are formed and sealed together in one single operation. The result of this fusion is incredibly durable, unique in kayak manufacture. The join line is invisible and 100% secure. This process, creating a product that is lighter, stronger and smoother finished than rotomoulding, is also anti-UV treated. Highly resistant to knocks and scratching, it gives all BIC Sport kayaks exceptional durability.

HIGH PERFORMANCE HULL DESIGN The THD (Triple Hull Design) shape was conceived to provide excellent glide and to give great manoeuvrability, while retaining maximum stability. The special shape of our hulls was inspired by trimaran construction, and features a large central section (1) with narrow water channels to optimise glide, and two outer hull sections (2) that give the boat stability without slowing its forward speed. The two resultant concave sections (3) help improve the overall performance.

R u bb e r- co a te d ca rr y h a nd le s ERGONOMIC SEATING The seat ergonomics of the entire BIC Sport kayak range have been specially developed to ensure optimum paddle comfort. â&#x20AC;˘ Flat back rest inclined towards the rear at the bottom to prevent the pelvis from being pushed forwards. This also relaxes the legs, relieving pressure against the foot rests. â&#x20AC;˘ Centre of gravity set low down for improved stability, but above the flotation line so that the bottom of the seats stays dry.

BIC KAYAKS Sit-On-Top

BIC KAYAKS Sit-On-Top Beach

Sit-On-Top for everyone Beach Stable, designed to be simple and affordable, the BEACH series kayaks are the gateway kayaks for our Sit-On-Top range, the easiest way to get out and have fun on the water while you’re at the beach. They are made to BIC Sport’s usual high standards, and their deck and cockpit design make them easy to use and very well suited to family and group activities. The Trinidad and Kalao models can be fitted with a small motor.

Ouassou* The Ouassou is designed as a versatile and manoeuvrable kayak ideal for beach fun. The stern handles let you hang on to body drag and allow easy access on board. The Ouassou also handles surf and waves comfortably due to the ‘spatula’ shaped hull and the three hull inserts, enabling a set of fins (available separately as an accessory) to be fitted for better tracking. Its compact form and light weight make this a kayak that is easy to manoeuvre, transport and store.

Trinidad* The Trinidad is a kayak purpose-built for leisure : compact, able to seat two adults and a child, it’s highly versatile and paddling and exploring, solo or two-up, its very low draught, innovative hull design and wide rear storage area are really useful for getting where you want wherever that is, with whatever equipment you need to take, and for going further, faster. As a final bonus, the Trinidad can be fitted with a small electric motor to give it even more possibilities.

Kalao* The Kalao is quite the 4x4 of the kayak world. It is equally at ease on the sea, rivers or simply having fun on any stretch of water. The largely flat hull design with very little water draught is very stable and enables the kayak to go almost anywhere. It makes it simple for a family of two adults and two children to all ride together in complete comfort and safety. This is also a true 3 (adult) person Sit-On-Top, with 3 proper ergonomic seats and a wide rear storage area. Two other advantages of the Kalao : it’s unsinkable, and it can be adapted to take a small electric motor.

BIC KAYAKS Sit-On-Top Sport

Easy glider Sport The kayaks in the SPORT range are already best sellers. The Bilbao and Tobago kayaks have helped create the BIC reputation in the kayak market with their combination of innovation in design, quality fittings, and a near-perfect stability/performance ratio. Compact and superbly finished, they are excellent kayaks giving great glide and superb handling for your most ambitious excursions and outings.

Bilbao* The BIC Sport Bilbao is a versatile kayak that will suit beginners and experienced kayakers alike. Whether you’re paddling for sport, exploring, diving or having a quick paddle with the kids, the quality of its design makes all activities possible with comfort and ease. The fluid hull shape provides a nice smooth ride, while the deck shape and quality extras allow you to carry almost any load with optimum stability and guaranteed safety. Its size and reduced weight make it easy to stow and transport.

Santiago The Santiago fits the gap between the Bilbao and the Tobago. Stable, with excellent glide and high manoeuvrability performance option. The standard production fittings are designed for serious use : an adjustable seat and big adjustable footrests give you a high-comfort paddle position. The dry box, front storage locker and wide rear platform mean you can carry all you need for your excursions.

Tobago* The Tobago is the perfect kayak for family outings and general use. It offers several possibilities: 1 or 2-adult paddling, with 1 or 2 children seated on the central section, shaped like a motorbike seat. There is also space for a bag or container when out on an excursion. The fluid hull lines mean it’s also well suited to sport kayaking, all in complete comfort and safety. The Tobago comes with a wheel at the rear, for easy transport in car parks, bow protection and elastic straps to secure your equipment. EVA foam pads cover the seats. The Tobago is a fast, stable and comfortable sea kayak.

BIC KAYAKS Sit-On-Top Performance

Further, faster Performance Much longer than our other boats, the two models in the PERFORMANCE series are aimed at a more sporty market, offering a wider range of paddling styles and options, but still easy to use. Joining the Scapa, which has already more than proved itself commercially, the new Borneo model arrives with a fistfull of innovations.

Borneo The new Borneo is a brand new family oriented double Sit-On-Top, with a number of innovative features, notably the possibility of solo use in equal paddling comfort to double. Its fluid hull lines give it great glide whilst retaining reassuringly comfortable stability. There’s innovation in the equipment and fittings too, like the removable integral wheels/rollers for easy transportation. There’s a molded deck insert for storing the wheels/rollers while sailing. Clearly a future benchmark boat in its category.

Scapa* 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’. storage area behind the cockpit allows you to load up with diving tanks, as well as fishing or touring equipment.

BIC KAYAKS Inflatable Weekend excursion / Touring

High Pressure!

Weekend excursion / Touring The principle behind these highly innovative inflatables lies in their use of multiple materials to help reduce weight, plus the use of a keel and bottom section inflated to high pressure to give the hull a superbly efficient V shape. ResultÂ : the YAKKAir HP and Nomad HP are light weight and high performance boats with the advantage of pack-down and storage into a compact carry bag. This means you can get to further flung and less accessible spots much more easily.

YAKKAir HP1 & HP2 The YAKKAir HP range is a true revolution in inflatable kayaks with the combination of a keel and a high-pressure inflatable hull/floor to maximise the V shape and with it the kayakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall performance. YAKKAir HP kayaks are lighter, perform better and give a more comfortable ride than conventional inflatable kayaks. Wind drag/resistance is reduced and they are easier to steer at sea, giving them a performance equal to that of existing rigid designs. The YAKKAir HP1 & HP2 come equipped with backrests and footrests. YAKKAir HP kayaks can be fitted with flexible deck cover to keep splash water out, without any hindrance to movement or safety.

Nomad HP1 & HP3 The Nomad HPs use the same concept that was so successful on the YAKKAir HP, with a high pressure inflatable keel and bottom section of the hull, together creating a dynamic and high performance hull shape, all at a feather weight and giving an excellent paddle position. As for performance, the Nomad HP benefits from a higher bow section, extended length, and a flexible decking system giving better internal protection. With its innovative decking system, the Nomad HP3 is a true sea kayak, ideal for longer double paddling excursions, and featuring a large storage area for carrying equipment. It also makes it more viable for the more challenging conditions you find in cooler seasons. Take out the decking and the HP3 becomes a vast, stable, top-performing family 3-seater. The Nomad HP1 is a solo kayak with the same features as the HP3 (higher bow section, flexible decking...) giving you the same level of paddle-comfort and protection for more extended solo trips. The Nomad HP1 & HP3 come equipped with backrests and footrests.

When you sit down in a YAKKAir HP or a Nomad HP, the highpressure floor (1) presses down on the high-pressure keel (2) putting the PVC skin (3) under tension. Under the pressure of the water, the skin stretches and curves out to give the hull its highperformance double concave shape. HP : High pressure

BIC KAYAKS Fishing

Fishing in total freedom

The kayaks in the Fishing range enable you to get quickly and easily to the best spots, and to glide through shallows and rocky areas totally risk-free. Single or double-seaters, they set themselves apart from the rest with their beige or green camouflage colouring as well as by their angling-specific fittings (integral rod rests and racks, storage lockers...) giving you the freedom of hassle-free angling action.

Bilbao* With its very rounded hull shape and narrow tips, the Bilbao Fishing has great glide and excellent stability, guaranteeing you complete safety for your solo fishing trips. The intelligent deck design and quality fittings allow you to carry any kind of load. Its reduced length and weight make it easy to store and transport.

Santiago The Santiago Fishing is a superb base for your open-water fishing trips : stable, with great glide and very manoeuvrable even at low speed, it’s perfect for getting you to the best spot speedily and safely. The standard production fittings are comprehensive, with an adjustable seat which, combined with the wide, adjustable foot rests gives excellent paddle comfort. Good storage space has always been a feature of the Santiago Fishing, and for very good reason, comprising a dry storage, a storage locker, plus a wide rear platform that enables you to load all the gear you need for all your fishing trips. Not forgetting the three rod rests, of which one is pivoting for maximum freedom of movement. Trinidad Compact but wide, the Trinidad Fishing

is the kayak for double paddling. It’s a highly stable boat, designed for solo or two-person fishing trips. It’s got great storage possibilities for your fishing equipment. It can be fitted with the appropriate mountings to take a small electric motor.

Borneo A brand new double-seater Sit-On-Top over 4 metres long and crammed with innovative features, the Borneo Fishing has great glide and is comfortably stable. The main innovation : you can switch between solo and double and keep exactly the same comfort of paddle position. A real plus for angling excursions. Its other major pluses : a sizeable flat rear storage area and an integral roller system. And it’s very simple to convert to a sea kayak.

YAKKAir HP2 The YAKKAir HP2 Fishing is carried in a wheeled back-pack for easy transport, whether you’re on foot or by car. It only takes a few minutes to set up and is ideal for reaching difficult fishing spots. Its high-pressure keel and high-pressure floor with their solid PVC skin form a highly-efficient V shape hull. Lighter but as powerful and comfortable as a rigid Sit-On-Top kayak, the YAKKAir HP2 Fishing can also be fitted with a protective canvas cover. It is made from sturdy material that will withstand potential damage from fishing hooks. The YAKKAir HP2 can also be used for solo kayaking, leaving lots of room for all your fishing gear.

Fishing range kayaks are fitted with rod racks and watertight hatches for carrying extra equipment.

For more than 8 years, a wind of change has been 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 6000 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. Racing enthusiasts benefit from an energetic international ISAF Class and from the motivation of many national federations who have selected the O’pen BIC for their clubs. This enthusiasm and appeal for the boat can be witnessed from the success of the last World Cups (180 young sailors in 2013 on lake Garda in Italy) and from the many regattas that are organized every season around the world. In certain instances, some regattas at national level were able to organize very innovative race formats. The UN Regatta in the United States of America and in Australia are the best example: they put together a cocktail of ingenious freestyle sessions as well as more standard-type regattas, all in a very festive atmosphere… The young racers really enjoyed!

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;pen BIC

For fun, recreation, perfection & racing

The hull of the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

The O’pen BIC breaks away

High quality rigs The rig includes a fully-battened, 4.5m² mono-film sail with mast pocket, similar to that of a windsurf sail. Rigged on an epoxy mast, the sail has been designed with an open leech to give sailors maximum control and performance in windy conditions. The Cunningham tackle (6 threads + cleat) associated with the boom vang / boom safety attachment, allows sailors to trim efficiently the tension of the sail. The 3.8 m² dacron sail has been designed for clubs and can be rigged on the same mast and boom as the 4.5 m² monofilm rig.

from "Classic Sailing"

International Class 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.
