Founded in 1979 by the Bich family, of BIC pen fame, BIC Sport grew from the family’s passion for watersports and expertise in sustainable manufacturing. By the late 1980s BIC Sport was a world leader in windsurf manufacture, and over the following 20+ years the company utilized their technological manufacturing skills on other passion projects including surf, kayak, junior racing dinghies and most recently, Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP). BIC’s core values of quality, durability and affordability form the foundation of the brand’s reputation and has opened the world of watersports to hundreds of thousands of watersports enthusiasts, thrill-seekers, and those simply happy to spend time out on the water enjoying nature. In fact, BIC Sport has made respect for the environment a priority in every stage of how its production systems are organized. This commitment has been recognized by the Ecoride organization and other business awards such as the «Prix du Bateau Bleu». Every BIC Sport product is developed by a passionate team of designers and made in France* using production systems that faithfully reproduce perfect copies of the original design. BIC Sport’s exclusive construction methods and materials deliver many years of reliable, high frequency use. Today, BIC Sport is acknowledged as the pioneer of production surf boards in the highly demanding surf market. It’s also a European leader in the Sit-on-Top Kayak market thanks to a range of innovative products which have won numerous design awards. Most recently Stand Up Paddling (SUP) is an area of dynamic development for the company. The sport is growing at a phenomenal rate and represents more than ever the values of simplicity and accessibility that have made the BIC Sport brand such a long-standing success. Over the past several years BIC Sport received the following awards recognizing its achievements in SUP : GEAR OF THE YEAR award by Outside Magazine, America’s leading outdoor publication, for the Wing 11’ and 12’6, BRAND OF THE YEAR awarded by the EuroSima organization and GEAR OF THE YEAR award by Men’s Journal Magazine, another leading US publication, for the 12’6 SUP AIR inflatable board. 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 recognized race board for Under 17 riders worldwide. This monotype/formula race class has grown at an incredible rate and is now established in over 40 countries. BIC Sport injected the same energy into sailing with its junior race dinghy, the exciting and innovative O’pen BIC, which has motivated the world of junior sailing in over 30 countries. In Stand Up Paddling the BIC SUPOne Design Challenge was recently launched using the award-winning Wing 11’ & 12’6. This unique and inclusive race series takes place throughout the world in local SUP communities, allowing participants to test their speed and skills with everyone using the exact same board. The pages that follow showcase the passion, drive and commitment of BIC Sport to not only build better boards and boats, but to encourage and inspire an active, environmentally aware lifestyle based on the one thing on which we all depend: WATER. *All ACE-TEC/DURA-TEC boards and Twin-Sheet Kayaks are made in France, which makes up over 80% of BIC Sport product sold worldwide.

BIC SPORT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Sustainable Development: A Major Priority for BIC Sport BIC Sport has been manufacturing watersport products for over 30 years. Long before ‘eco-friendly’ was a buzzword we began developing “clean” manufacturing processes by recycling wherever possible, eliminating gas emissions and conserving energy and water. From start to end of life-cycle, BIC Sport products are thoughtfully produced with preserving the environment we all share in mind. And perhaps least recognized but most important, BIC Sport products are BUILT TO LAST - meaning fewer boards and boats taking up residence in your local landfill.

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

Resource Conservation • Rejection rate < 2,5 / 1000 • Surplus material systematically recycled back into the production process • A capacity per mould 5 times greater than standard techniques 6

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.

EcoRide Designation 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. 7

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.

TST Hollow Twin-Sheet Thermoforming The principle : two slabs (deck and hull) are heat-moulded in an aluminium mould then pressure-fused together. The product is then cooled and taken for finishing in the workshops.

Products using this technique: Kayaks, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;pen BIC, Dinghies

ACE-TEC 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: Designated Surf, Windsurf and SUP boards

DURA-TEC Blow Molding / Blown Extrusion The principle : a tube of extruded (molten) polyethylene is gravitymoulded 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: Designated Surf, Windsurf and SUP boards

BIC SPORT ACE-TEC TECHNOLOGY

Light Weight, Durability and Performance With decades of experience in windsurf and surfboard manufacturing BIC Sport is a pioneer and expert in the field of thermoformed composite construction technology. Over the past few years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve refined our ACE-TEC technology for SUP, Surf and Windsurf boards. This unique technology suits the needs of experienced riders and newbies alike with a unique combination of LIGHT WEIGHT, DURABILITY AND PERFORMANCE at a great price.

ASA Skin: 0 ,8mm thermoformed polymer plastic coating: bonds with fiberglass and non-toxic epoxy resin for an extremely durable outer shell

Unidirectional Fiberglass wrap to maximize stiffness and durability when bonded to the ASA outer skin The polystyrene blank has been covered with fibreglass layers and then impregnated with resin. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now moved to a mould containing two prepared thermomoulded ASA finishing sheets (see photo). The mould is pressure-sealed, then cooled. The finished product is extracted and sent for finishing. Products using this technique : ACE-TEC windsurf, surf and SUP boards. 10

Deck Pads All boards are fitted with the pad profile most adapted to the ideal use of the product :

1 lb / 15 kg/m 3 Molded, Watertight EPS Foam Core for lightweight performance Deck Pad: Plush, non-slip deck pad for traction and comfort under foot, durable and lightweight

A BIC Sport exclusive -Standard on all ACE-TEC and DURA-TEC boards. Re-Curved inner surface for easier loading and transport.

Key advantages compared to glass polyester or epoxy technology Much higher impact resistance Same or higher stiffness Lighter weight 11

BIC SPORT DURA-TEC TECHNOLOGY

Rugged & Ultra-Durable, Authentic Boardsport Feel and Performance DURA-TEC combines an ultra-durable polyethylene outer shell (like a kayak but lighter weight) with a full polyurethane foam core (like that found in traditional surfboards). These materials are thermoformed in steel molds to ensure consistent and accurate reproduction of the original shape. Proven and long lasting with great performance, we’ve been making recreational wind and surf boards like this since the 1980’s and many are still on the water today!

Polyethylene outer shell : Ultra-durable skin to reduce impact damage Deck pad: Low-profile, lightweight EVA provides comfort and grip

Closed cell polyurethane inner core: Durable and watertight. Doesn’t retain water in the event of damage to outer shell FCS fin system * : High performance universal standard for maximum fin customization

*BIC SURF DURA-TEC, BIC SUP (thruster fins)

The tube of extruded (molten) polyethylene is gravity-moulded then shaped by being blown against the inner walls of its hollow mould (see photo). Next it’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 : DURA-TEC Beach windsurf, surf and SUP boards. 12

BIC SPORT C-TEC TECHNOLOGY Our C-TEC “Custom”-Technology was developed to create the ultimate light weight, high-performance boards while maintaining good impact resistance. The success of this construction is due to the combination of Carbon-Innegra weave fabric* throughout the entire board together with a light weight low density foam core. A brushed white finish provides added durability, protection from overheating in the sun and reduced weight. *Carbon-Innegra fabric blends the lightweight and stiffness of carbon with the durability and waterproof impact resistance of Innegra.

Transparent Epoxy resin + polyurethane varnish with UV filter: High protection of the board 180gr/m2 fiberglass: A high quality finish and resistance to small knocks and scratches Fiberglass reinforcement: Reduces the risk of heel dents in the standing area Hybrid weave of Innegra and 152gr/m2 Carbon fiber: resistance to knocks/bumps and superior rigidity Core: Low density (15kg/m3) EPS foam BIC SPORT SUP AIR TECHNOLOGY Ultra-Light, Impressively Rigid, Highly Durable – We’ve revolutionized our SUP AIR construction to optimize rigidity, reduce weight and maintain shape control (via the rocker profile) and durability. An ultra high-density Dyneema® Stringer belt wraps the board tip to tail for added rigidity. Double layer rails maximize durability where needed most and helps to maintain shape. A single layer of drop-stitch material keeps the board extremely lightweight.

Tail inflation point = easy packing by rolling from the nose. Deck rigging = gear stowage.

Dyneema Stringer, top and bottom = maximum stiffness and controlled rocker profile.

Neoprene carry handles, front, rear and center = easy transport. Double Layer rail construction = maximum durability. Single Layer construction, top and bottom = lightweight and improved finish.

BIC SPORT TWIN SHEET TECHNOLOGY

Super Solid, Refined Finish BIC Sport’s exclusive Twin Sheet Technology (TST) thermoforms two Polyethylene sheets in an aluminum mold and is used to build our kayaks, the O’pen BIC and Dinghies. The deck and hull sections are formed and sealed together in one single operation, resulting in an incredibly durable boat with a highly refined finish. The join line of the two sheets fuses together to become the most durable part of the boat. This process creates a product that is extremely solid with an exceptionally smooth, UV-resistant finish.

7 mm Polyethylene skin anti UV treated: Strong and Durable, highly resistant to knocks and scratches. Deck and hull sheet thermoformed in an aluminium mould : Precision manufacturing for a quality shape giving maximum glide and performance

Deck and hull sheet thermoformed in one single operation : Fusion of hull and deck sheets into one complete kayak, with maximum strength along the rail. Front and Rear bumpers (replaceable): Protect the kayak against abrasion and wear and tear.

The two slabs (deck and hull) are heat-moulded in an aluminium Mould (see photo), then pressure-fused together. The whole thing is then cooled and taken for finishing in the workshops. Products using this technique : kayaks, O’pen BIC, tenders and dinghies 14

BIC SPORT ONE DESIGN COMPETITIONS

9000 riders - 40 countries

7000 boats - 30 countries

300 events - 20 countries 18

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 7000 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. BIC SUP ambassadors Carine, Manu and their daughters Lou & Shade (pictured left), were early converts to SUP. They spend their days traveling the planet with boards and paddles, seeking out 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 Celine Guesdon, Eric Terrien, Chase Kosterlitz. 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 board as a mobile Yoga mat or personal gym in the search for physical and spiritual balance. Julie Roach 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 a 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 2016 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!

This exclusive BIC Sport technology suits the needs of experienced riders and novices alike with the unique combination of Durability AND Lightweight Performance at a Great Price. Available in three styles: PERFORMER, CROSS AND WING

PERFORMER Series Surf-Inspired Longboard Shapes If you’re looking for a board that’s equally at home surfing a wave as it is relaxing on the local lake, look no further than the Performer series. We’ve blended surf-inspired longboard outlines for solid wave performance with confidence-inspiring stability and a moderate rocker profile for versatility in flat-water conditions. Find the size that’s right for you and join the thousands of riders who’ve made the Performer series an international best-seller. Boards sizes: 9’2 / 10’6 / 11’6

Versatility, say hello to Stability

CROSS Series Flat-water Hybrid Shapes An ultra-stable platform equally suited for first-timers, family fun, fitness, yoga, fishing or whatever your next SUP adventure may be. The unique ‘hybrid’ design of the Cross features a keeled nose for excellent tracking, full rail-to-rail volume for enhanced stability and maximum use of the entire deck, and a full waterline to increase speed and efficiency. Numerous attachment points for securing accessories and deck rigging come standard on all Cross models. Boards sizes: 10’0 / 11’0

WING Series Award-Winning Touring Shapes Designed for efficiency and stability the WING series offers a smooth and effortless paddling experience. Perfect for sunrise cruises along your local lake, destination day-tripping to secluded spots as well as serious exploration in extreme conditions. A full vee entry transitions to a displacement hull through the nose into a flat planing hull under foot and out the tail. This unique design gives the WING impressive glide as well as stability, allowing you to go further, faster and quieter than on a traditional board. Boards sizes: 11’0 / 12’6

Future Classic

When it came time to design a smaller, more compact version of our best-selling 10’6 and 11’6 Performer models we knew we had our work cut out for us. After many months of development and testing we hit on something special. For novice riders under 150lbs the 9’2 is a stable flat-water cruiser that’s compact and lightweight (23lbs!), making it a breeze to transport, carry and store. For intermediate riders up to 180lbs it’s the perfect surf SUP when you’re ready to move to a shorter more maneuverable board. For larger riders the 9’2 will help take your surfing to new levels. All this in BIC SUP’s legendary ACE-TEC construction for durability AND lightweight performance at a great price.

Looking for one board that the whole family can enjoy? The 11’6 is another best-seller thanks to the versatility it offers for so many riders. Newbies up to 240pounds will appreciate the stability and ease of use it offers on both flatwater and in the surf zone, and the same is true for smaller and medium sized riders looking to bring along pets, kids or lots of gear. It also makes for a great tandem board for kids, allowing them to learn together and use the board as a ‘home base’ on the water. All 11’6 boards feature a soft EVA deck pad as well as two attachment points on the front of the board for adding bungee cord to secure water bottles, sandals and other gear.

SUP is great on calm days, but when the wind picks up most people put the paddle down. Not so with the WIND series of paddleboards, designed to keep you out on the water on windy days with features that convert your paddleboard to a windsurfer. There are three boards to choose from in the WIND series: 10’6 & 11’6 Performer (based on our best-selling Performer models) and the 10’6 SUP AIR.

10’6 Performer WIND

We took our best-selling 10’6 Performer model and added a mast insert for exciting windsurf performance.

Designed for wave surfing and more advanced users who are capable of tacking upwind even in light wind conditions.

11’6 Performer WIND

Like the 10’6 we designed the 11’6 WIND based on our best-selling 11’6 Performer model. Exceptionally stable,

the 11’6 is ideal for learning to windsurf as it features a fully retractable daggerboard which allows newbies to learn to tack upwind in the type of light wind conditions suitable for learning.

10’6 SUP AIR WIND

We added an extra fin in the center of the board together with a mast insert for true windsurf performance.

The center fin allows you to track upwind even in light wind while the mast insert lets you match your board with one of our turnkey rig packages (check them out in our windsurfing section or at bicsportwindsurf.com)

TRACER Series

All-Condition Touring Boards with a Race Pedigree

‘‘From the first paddle stroke this thing took off much faster than other boards I have ridden. It also glides and tracks very well.” Paddling.net review

Launched in 2015 and lauded for their impressive performance, smooth feel on the water and eye-catching graphics, the Tracer series has been updated to improve speed and glide as well as comfort and stability. The flat section under foot has been extended forward towards the nose to improve stability while a lower profile piercing nose increases efficiency by smoothly parting the water on entry. A squared off â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chiselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shaped tail reduces drag and the standing area was revised to more efficiently shed water. Deck attachment points make it easy to secure extra gear for extended trips. A new brushed white Carbon-Innegra finish throughout the board looks great, reduces weight and improves durability while protecting the board from overheating in the sun.

If you’re looking for a fast, versatile, all-conditions race board with surprising stability the Tracer World Series is your board. While similar to the Tracer series, World Series boards are narrower, lighter weight and have a shape focused on speed while maintaining stability in a wide range of conditions. A piercing ‘vee’ nose parts the water smoothly while a flat bottom shape maintains stability despite the boards narrow profile. Added volume in the nose helps to keep the board from wallowing in choppy conditions while a recessed standing area lowers the riders center of gravity for a more stable ride. A new brushed white Carbon-Innegra finish throughout the board looks great, reduces weight and improves durability while protecting the board from overheating in the sun. Tested and proven with professional racers Eric Terrien, Chase Kosterlitz, Celine Guesdon and the BIC SUP design team.

high waves fun but will still perform when it pumps. You want a board that’s stable enough to make paddling enjoyable, but not so stable that you lose the performance you were after in the first place. We get it. The new Wave Pro range was born from years of testing and refining the ideal blend of outline, rocker profile, volume distribution, bottom contour, fin locations and rail profile to arrive at the ultimate all-conditions design. Once we hit on the right blend we then tailored it to each of the six models so riders of all sizes and skill levels could benefit. Sure, no one board is perfect for everyone, but we’re confident you’ll find your perfect board right here, somewhere between 7’4 and 9’4.

At just 21 pounds, the FITNESS is super light and easy to carry when stored inside the included backpack as well as when fully inflated. Inflation is a cinch with the rugged 2-way pump and a universal center fin box

RIVER

Stable and Playful whitewater performance. If running rapids on a SUP is your bag, the RIVER is your board. Thoroughly tested

and developed with BIC SUPs whitewater ambassadors to create the ultimate blend of features and performance for whitewater paddling. At 9’2” the RIVER is compact, rigid (15psi), rugged and maneuverable. At 36” wide and 6” thick it’s a super-stable platform that easily punches through waves and swirly, boily eddylines. Six grab handles are carefully placed along the rails for easy access when you need to quickly pull yourself back on board. These rugged handles also work great for securing gear with cam straps if you need to bring along more gear than the standard bungee deck rigging will accommodate. Optimized nose and tail rocker help keep the board on top of the water through holes and prevents pearling while surfing. A Low-profile permanent quad flexi-fin set-up is ideal for running shallow rapids and for maximum maneuverability while the universal center fin box lets you attach a longer center fin (included) for added stability and tracking in deeper water. This fin also makes the RIVER versatile for all-around flat water paddling (psst- it works GREAT as a yoga board too!) Backpack, 2-way pump, gauge, repair kit and removable center fin all come standard.

Large - 100 square inch blade / 75-90 inch adjustment range*: Excellent power output for larger paddlers and those with a lower cadence stroke.

LeverLock™ Adjustment System We’ve tested them all and this is the best adjustment system we’ve found. The feel and performance of a fixed-length paddle with the versatility and convenience of an adjustable. Featuring an infinite adjustment range, no clunky adjustment mechanism to get in the way and no parts to lose. Made of rugged polycarbonate, fiberglass and stainless steel for maximum durability and performance.

Optimized Flex Extensive testing helped us determine the ideal flex pattern for maximum comfort and performance. Adding a bit more flex to the paddle provides positive feedback to the user and maximizes effective power output while reducing stress on joints for longer, more enjoyable paddle sessions.

BOARD SELECTOR The table below is designed to help you choose the right Stand Up Paddleboard for the type of activities you plan to use your board for and the size of the riders who will be using the board. 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, CHOOSE A BOARD BASED ON THE WEIGHT OF THE LARGEST RIDER WHO WILL BE USING THE BOARD. Lighter riders can always use a bigger board, but bigger riders won’t be successful on a board that is too small.

Over 20 years ago, BIC Sport launched the first ever massproduction board in the history of surfing, at a stroke opening up the sport to tens of thousands of new surfers, offering them a winning combination of quality products at a reasonable price. To guarantee the level of performance required from a good surf board, BIC sport called on the services of some of the top board shapers to develop their new prototypes. One of those shapers, Gerard Dabbadie, quickly understood and believed in the idea of opening the sport upto the biggest possible public, and the use of our industrial processes to produce totally faithfull production copies of his original designs. Nowadays he’s still here, the man behind most of BIC’s surf board designs, of which his legendary 7’9 and 7’3 models have now seen over 100,000 units produced and shipped from the poroduction facility in Vannes, Brittany. In 2013, Eurosima awarded BIC Sport its «Brand of the year» title. In 2015, the Surf Manufacturers Trade Association recognised BIC Sport’s achievements with its Ecoride Gold award for its environmental commitments in the design, but also in the manufacture of its products. BIC Sport also invented a totally new concept, organizing national and international «One Design» competitions, such as the Longboard Challenge in the early 2000s, open to any and all professional surfers. Today, 15 years later, the BIC KID One Design, a one design surf competition open to up and coming young French surfers, stays faithful the «one board for all» concept in amateur competitions. This discipline has seen a record increase in numbers in 2015, with more than 100 young surfers turning up et every BIC KID event. And in a similar vein to the BIC KID One Design, the 2015 Monitors Challenge saw the top surf instructors from south-west France battling against each other, all riding the same board design : the highly popular 7’0 EGG DURATEC. And the instructors showed once again just what a quality board the EGG is, the ideal board for surfers to progress their level. For 2016 the BIC Surf range continues to evolve. Debuting this year is the new PAINT Softboard range, featuring six colorful, fun and comfy shapes, ranging from 4’11’’ to 8’0’’, designed to give anyone the opportunity to have a go at surfing! With soft construction and graphics that POP, these surfboards help you show your true colors at the beach all summer long. DURA-TEC boards receive new graphics to compliment the newly arrived 7’0 Egg and 7’6 Mini-Noserider. The G-BOARD range continues to prove great success for surf schools, with flat decks and wide outlines making surfing for the first time easier than ever. The new 6’0 G-BOARD EVO is the perfect first board for kids, and experienced surfers have been adding it to their quiver as a playful, super soft summertime board! Ongoing innovation, while maintaining a consistent product offering that works for all riders, is what continues to make BIC Surf one of the largest single-brand surfboard companies in the world. Constant innovation, a coherent product range with something to offer all levels of surf rider, both of these elements figure in the BIC Surf DNA, making BIC one of the biggest single brand surf manufacturers in the world.

5'10 FISH / 6'7 SHORTBOARD

Pocket Rockets

There are 3 key elements to consider when purchasing your first 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 allows you to progress to the advanced level! Our DURA-TEC Boards meet each of these criteria to a tee. 70

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

5’10 Fish

A short, fat shape with good width in the nose and tail that packs a lot of volume into a small board. Provides stability and

buoyancy for learning, allowing easy entry onto the wave. Once the learning is sorted you can quickly progress to the next level, and really carve the board tightly on the rail, particularly in less punchy waves. The ideal first surfboard for kids and an excellent board for good light weight surfers.

6’7 Shortboard

A short-board that turns on the spot, is comfortable off the top of the wave and really surfs your line. With a slightly

pumped up volume it also caters easily for the beginner-intermediate market. Kids can learn on it, intermediates find that it’s the perfect first short-board, and advanced riders can use it as their reliable go-to board for all conditions, even when the conditions get bigger.

Five fin-boxes give you the options to adapt to your own surfing style and to match 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!

7'6 MINI NOSE RIDER / 7'9 NATURAL SURF 2

Smooth Wave Machines

Gérard Dabbadie : «The 7’6 Mini Nose Rider board will appeal to surfers looking for a wide but compact board that’s as easy to paddle out as it is to surf back in. It’s going to give them the true taste of nose-riding more easily than any other board on the market, all on a relatively short board they can push to the limits through carved turns.»

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

7’6 Mini Nose Rider

The DURA-TEC 7’6 Mini Nose Rider is perfect for enjoying the fun nose-riding capability of a longboard, while

still being as maneuverable as an EGG board. Shaped by the legend Gérard Dabbadie from Hossegor, France, this board features a wide nose section, tight rocker profile and concave, and a beveled hull design for easy nose riding; combined with a wide rear section and pronounced V-Shape on the bottom giving the board excellent handling in radical turns and tight carves on the face of the wave. With almost the same volume as a genuine long-board, the board is accessible for all skill levels.

7’9 Natural Surf 2

One of the most versatile boards of the range, particularly for those looking for a combination of longboard stability and

mini-mal surfing. The Natural Surf 2 gives lightweight riders a durable and stable “longboard” feel for easily catching many waves. Heavier surfers will enjoy the mid-range length for their transition to shorter boards, short-board manoeuvers and bigger surf conditions.

BIC SURF PERFORMER ACE-TEC

7'6 PERFORMER / 9'0 LONGBOARD

Flying Vehicles

BIC Sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ACE-TEC 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, ACE-TEC surfboards provide shapes that not only suit the intermediate surfer, but also experienced riders who know how to ride a surfboard. 78

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

7’6 Performer

A board that is super fun to surf, rapid and precise, giving a real spring under foot. Thanks to the board’s elongated

pin-tail you can really drive off the bottom turn and start to attack good waves, right in the critical section. You can also surf “old school” as this board is the perfect transition between the stability and ease of a longboard, and the rapidity and tight carves of a shortboard. Enjoy!

9’0 Longboard

A no limits longboard. Handling both small waves and larger swell with style, this classic Longboard offers both

beginners and seasoned nose riders a ride with endless possibilities. Whether you’re looking to hang five, get tubed or perform a roundhouse cutback, this board is with you all the way. Effortlessly bringing together modern technology with old-school style, the 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 bigger waves and rides sweetly through the high-line into and out of radical sections.

Highway to Nose Ride

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

9’4 Nose Rider

Designed by the legendary shaper Darrell «Rooster» Dell, the 9’4” Nose Rider is focused on a more traditional nose riding,

old-school style of longboarding. Particularly suited for mid to heavy weight riders the 9’4 has good volume for easy take-offs and stable nose rider, and shape characteristics favoring good speed and easy rail-to-rail transitions. A versatile board, great for cruising the waves.

9’6 Big Boy

The 9’6” Big Boy is a big volume longboard designed for big boy (or girl!) surfers and is also perfect for any size first-

timer to get up and riding with ease. Very similar to the 9’4 Super Magnum but with the added benefits of a lighter weight and stiffer ACE-TEC Construction. With an easy pick up and take off, anybody can surf with ease and nose ride seemingly the smallest waves. A fun board, particularly on smaller days when smaller boards just don’t work.

You’ll be comfortable loaning them to friends to give them a try thanks to a soft, durable finish and ease of use for new surfers. But these are more than just beginner boards, the PAINT series was designed to perform, turning small waves into a rippable skatepark for advanced riders.

PAINT boards are designed to color your waves for many summers to come by using the highest quality materials throughout. Comfort, safety and durability are a key focus: - EPS Core with molded in wood or composite stringers (depending on size) - 2x 6oz full layer deck and bottom for exceptional durability. - Full layer IXPE deck and rails for optimal comfort and safety. - Full layer, hard slick skin bottom for maximum glide and performance. - Soft fins for added safety. The PAINT palette includes six colorful, loud and proud boards that you can shred in style:

4’11 Cheater Surf all summer, even during blackball, with the Cheater. At 4’11 it slips just under the size limits set by most Southern California beach lifeguards (that more beaches are starting to adopt), so you won’t have to leave it on the beach during “blackball” hours. Good surfers and newbies alike will have fun in the shorebreak on this board.

Short Boards 5’6 / 6’0 / 6’6 All the qualities you need in your first shortboard: glide, speed, volume for easy take offs and easy surfing, plus a soft comfortable construction. Choose the size according to the rider profile and surf level: the longer the board, the easier to ride. The shorter, the more radical you can go!

Malibus 7’0 / 8’0 The best boards to enjoy your first waves in safety and style. These Malibu Longboards will also be your boards of choice when the waves are small and not quite as pumping as you dreamt last night!

Back to School

To meet the particular needs of surf clubs and schools, the G-Board EVO range of soft boards focuses on several clear performance criteria: - A full soft construction for maximum safety, comfort and stress-free surfing. - Good volume and stability for catching waves and quickly standing up with ease. - Reliable surfing performance for ongoing progression. - As with all BIC Surf products, long term durability for years of reliable use, even when used in a surf school environment.

To meet these criteria: - Short and wide boards, with good volume and a relatively flat deck, offer the most stable platform for your first take offs. - Proven rocker lines, rail shapes and board outlines surf great when you start to progress. - The core of the board is made from a high quality blank of closed-cell, fully watertight foam, unique to G-Boards. - A composite stringer gives the board good stiffness along its length. - «Slick Skin» bottom gives the board excellent glide, cushioning bumps and offering impressive knock-resistance. - A laminated foam non-skid deck is comfortable to paddle, takeoff and stand-up on. - Flexible soft fins are safe, yet still offer solid surfing performance and durability for learning.

4 key sizes of G-Boards EVO boards mean that you can find the right board for any size surfer: • 6’0 : < 110lbs / 50kg, ideal for kids • 7’0 : < 145 lbs / 65kg • 8’0 : < 165lbs / 75kg • 9’0 : > 165lbs / 75kg

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 personalized shapes that quickly found favor with many top European riders. In 1975 while based in Hossegor, France (Surf Capital of Europe) he created his signature board brand “Superfrog”, and went on to become a full-time professional shaper. With his philosophy of “shaping easy, funto-ride boards, for all kinds of conditions, with no compromise on strength and performance”, Gerard wasn’t content to follow trends of the day. He was among the first to build boards using epoxy resin and EPS foam, at the time a radical departure from the traditional mix of polyurethane foam 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. In addition to nuanced details of board shape and design, which he clearly knows inside-out, what’s behind all the wave-riding fun is an understanding of modern, reliable, 100% faithful manufacturing techniques, so he’s fully confident in the quality and performance of every production board he designs. Superfrog boards are first pre-shaped using the AKU shaping tool, then hand-finished before being coated with fiberglass and epoxy resin. Two 6 ounce layers of fiberglass on the bottom and two 6 plus one 4 ounce layer on the deck for shortboards, three 6 ounce layers on the longboards. There is no other board on the market that has so many fiberglass layers, and therefore such strength. Even so, Superfrog boards are amazingly light, the result of 30 years of experience using this construction technology and best quality raw materials on the market, plus the passion to make it happen. But for Gerard, 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.

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 during tight turns. Boards also come with thruster or quad fin set-up.

9’0’’ Performer

An all-round longboard made for modern performance in more 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.

10’0’’ Cruiser

One of the easiest boards

to ride, a real cruiser when paddling out, catching waves and while surfing. Precise volume placement means that this board is perfect for the heaviest of riders, as well as those wanting to get the most out of small or soft waves. Surprisingly maneuverable for its length, the Cruiser is a true longboard that will also work great if you end up riding some famous tidal bores.

MISFIT

Ready to Rumble

Superfrog Misfit boards are designed as everyday easy riding shortboards without limits in performance. Colorful boards for colorful surfers looking for performance without compromising stability and control. Three main ingredients have been included in the shape: • The rocker has been specifically designed for fast and easy entry into waves and to carry speed across flat sections. • The rails are soft and forgiving through the front section of the board to eliminate catching, but transition to hard edges through the tail which releases water easily and reduces drag. • The outline compliments the rocker by being slightly wider through the nose and tail; these are subtle differences to the eye but make the board very user friendly without detracting from performance. Misfit shortboards come in 5’10, 6’0, 6’2 or 6’4 sizes to match a wide range of rider weights and skill levels.

In the face of a rush towards elite-level performance boards and the seemingly endless models that have appeared since the year 2000 (supplied by manufacturing in the Far East) BIC Sport has opted to do things very differently. We’ve concentrated our efforts on a smaller, focused range of products and have invested in establishing monotype/formula competitions for the long-term health of the sport. With manufacturing based in France we’ve been able to respond rapidly to the sport’s changing trends using exclusive, highly efficient production methods and technologies. Our 2016 Windsurf Collection consists of four series of boards concentrating on a limited number of models: TECHNO, NOVA, BEACH and SUP WIND.

• The new 240 D TECHNO is the perfect tool for getting started; a wide, stable and light weight board. • The NOVA 240 D incorporates a full deck pad for comfort and ease of use. It’s designed for clubs, schools, and for any beginners looking to learn fast and progress quickly on one board. • With the BEACH series you’ll find the unrivalled strength and solidity of our legendary DURA-TEC construction, combined with imaginative modern shapes. A robust, durable board at a price that will suit sailing schools, clubs and families looking for simple, accessible fun on the water. • SUP is the most recent arrival in the BIC Windsurf range. Our three SUP WIND models are the «missing-link» between windsurf and the new paddle sport that is coming of age. The 11’6 is a huge success with families and clubs looking for a quality all-purpose board: great for SUP, great for windsurfing.

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

The BIC Sport vision of windsurfing is simple: learn fast, progress quickly, get into regattas and racing, spend time having fun on the water! We see windsurfing as one of the most accessible and affordable ways to get under sail and keep things simple. We wish you many unforgettable sessions in 2016 and hope to see you out there!

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

The official worldwide-approved board for Junior Under 17 competitions, the Techno 293 One Design has seen its fleet numbers explode over the last few years. Today, there are more than 9000 Techno 293s sailing somewhere in the world, with a supporting competition program that is constantly growing. The 2014 World Championships, held in Brest in France, drew more than 400 competitors from 35 countries and 6 continents: a windsurfing record. The 2015 European Championships in Liepaja/Latvia were another huge success with 300 competitors from 25 countries. The Techno 293 OD is firmly established in numerous countries now and the 293 scene’s vitality has quickly made it the biggest windsurf fleet on the planet. The Techno 293 OD class launched a new sub-category, the Techno +, opening the One Design competition door to older riders/competitors. This format got a big success in Latvia and holds a great promise. To break into formula competitions where all equipment is equal, is high quality, is reasonably priced; to enable young riders all round the world to share the same passion, to make new friends and have great fun, the Techno 293 OD is a must !

T293 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.

BEACH

Easy to Ride, Ultra-Durable, Great Price

The Beach boards have been designed with sailing schools in mind, to offer them strong, practical and modern equipment. They are made using the technology already applied to BIC Sport kayaks and surfboards: the outer skin is in polyethylene, the same as that of BIC Sport kayaks, whose solidity is well-known, and the core of the boards is made of the same high-density polyurethane foam that is also inside the BIC DURA-TEC surfboards. Both Beach boards offer particularly good stability as well as being easy to handle, so that beginners can start to learn various moves. A new EVA foam pad, very hard-wearing, comfortable and anti-skid covers the deck. Both boards come with a retractable daggerboard that is solid and easy to handle. 114

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.

QUALITY FITTINGS AND FEATURES All the integral production fittings of BIC Sport kayaks are top quality

Abrasion protector

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 (Java/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 126

Removable rear trolley wheels (Java/Borneo)

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.

Rubber-coated carry handles

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

BEACH

Sit-On-Top for Everyone

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 youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the beach. They are made to BIC Sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

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 stable, making it suitable for all kinds of situations. For family outings, its ergonomic seats and stability are reassuring. For more serious 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.

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

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.

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.

PERFORMANCE

Further, Faster

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 and the Borneo, the new Java model arrives with a fistful of innovations.

136

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

JAVA

New for 2016, the Java features above all an excellent glide/stability ratio, it’s a high performance sea-going single-seater,

longer than the Bilbao to allow you to take on even more ambitious outings and trips. Combining an innovative hull and a neat design, it also gives you equally high quality features : a wide, flat rear storage area for carrying sizeable loads, integral wheels/rollers for easy transportation, plus a moulded deck insert for storing the wheels/rollers while sailing, all conceived to help you get in and out of the water with the minimum of effort. It also includes excellent and comprehensive extra equipment enabling you to customise your boat for fishing trips and excursions.

BORNEO

The 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’. Fast but stable, it’s an excellent boat for fast cruising, physical conditioning and ideal for learning sea kayaking. The molded baggage 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 !

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 HP

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 kayak’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 HP3

NOMAD HP1

YAKKAir HP2

YAKKAir HP1

NOMAD HP 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.

When you sit down in a YAKKAir HP or a Nomad HP, the high-pressure 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 high-performance double concave shape. HP : High pressure

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.

144

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. 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. JAVA

New for 2016, the Java Fishing gives you above all an outstanding compromise between glide and stability. At more than 4 metres long, you can take on even more ambitious excursions than in the Bilbao. Its large rear storage area and integral roller system are great advantages for angling outings. Better still : comprehensive fittings and accessories giving you lots of options for personalising its set-up, for angling or other trips. The Java is also easily converted into a sea kayak.

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.

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. 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 7000 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 on lake Garda in Italy and in Travemünde in Germany 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!

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 from "Classic Sailing"

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.

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.
