On the competition scene, BIC Sport has invested heavily in the development of 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 One Design race class is the largest One Design Windsurf Class in the world, and is now established in over 40 countries. BIC Sport injected the same energy into sailing with its junior racing dinghy, the exciting and innovative O’pen BIC, which has motivated the world of junior sailing in over 30 countries. The pages that follow showcase the passion, drive and commitment of BIC Sport to not only build better boards and boats, but also to encourage and inspire an active, environmentally aware lifestyle based on the one thing on which we all depend: WATER. *All ACE-TEC, TOUGH-TEC & DURA-TEC Boards, Twin-Sheet Kayaks, the O’pen BIC and the

ONE DESIGN
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 manufacturing, 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. At BIC Sport consideration for the environment is the guiding principle of the company’s management and manufacturing activities. This commitment has been recognized by the Ecoride organization and other business awards such as the «Prix du Bateau Bleu».
dinghies are made in France, making up over 80% of BIC Sport sales worldwide. 3
BIC SPORT
SUSTAINABLE DEVEL BIC Sport has been manufacturing watersport products for nearly 40 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 factory to end-of-life, BIC Sport manufacturing takes full consideration of the environment we all share. 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.
Innovation, quality, durability are all key to respecting the environment Innovation and product quality, whichever one you talk about, are essential factors in respecting the environment. Durable, innovative equipment is used for many seasons and needn’t be replaced by "the next big thing". The thousands of youngsters using the Techno 293 OD sail a hundred times more than most windsurfers manage, and never stop having fun, season after season, due to ACE-TEC durability and light weight. The surf schools that have invested in our DURA-TEC boards have done so safe in the knowledge that they will use them for years to come because they're ultra-tough and designed by a big-name shaper, making them less susceptible to the changing fads of what's fashionable or not. Same goes for families and SUP clubs who have decided on one of our TOUGH-TEC boards. Durable, innovative products: that means fewer units manufactured, less programmed-obsolescence, leading to less pollution and idiotic consumerism of basic materials and energy.

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.

BIC SPORT
BIC Sport is the proud owner of an industrial tool that is unique in the world, capable of three different
to have these three manufacturing techniques available on one production site. This enables us to produce six different product types with consistency, quality and faithfulness to the original design, every time.
ACE-TEC / TOUGH-TEC Thermoforming around a Polystyrene Core ACE-TEC: Under heat and pressure in aluminum molds we thermoform a durable, impact-resistant skin over fiberglass, epoxy resin and a molded, watertight EPS foam core. The board is then extracted from the mold and sent for finishing. Products using this technique: Designated Surf, Windsurf and SUP boards
TOUGH-TEC: Under heat and pressure in aluminum molds we thermoform a durable, impact resistant skin over a molded, watertight EPS foam core. The board is then extracted from the mold and sent for finishing. Products using this technique: Designated Windsurf and SUP boards
TST Hollow Twin-Sheet Thermoforming Two polyethylene sheets (deck and hull) are heat-molded in an aluminum mold then pressure-fused together. Products using this technique: Kayaks, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;pen BIC, Dinghies
DURA-TEC Blow Molding / Blown Extrusion A tube of extruded (molten) polyethylene is gravity molded and then shaped by being blown against the inner walls of a hollow aluminum mold. Next itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooled, taken out of the mold and moved to a steel shaper where it is expansion-filled with high density polyurethane foam. Products using this technique: DURA-TEC Surfboards

SUPERFROG
NO BLA-BLA 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 fulltime professional shaper. With his philosophy of “shaping easy, fun-to-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. But for Gerard, it’s all about shaping and surfing, rather than dreaming up marketing spiel : NO BLA-BLA, as the man himself would and does say.

SHORTBOARDS
The boards with the highest performance and most radical shapes in the SUPERFROG range. Suitable for all sizes of decent waves, they will take you to the next level with drawn-out carves, tight off the lip turns and aerial maneuvers.
CARROT CAKE
: This comfortable shortboard has quickly become one of the best sellers in the SUPERFROG range. Appreciated for
its generous outline and wide round tail boosting paddling power and planing ability, it also allows powerful turns thanks to its thinner and sharper rails through the tail.
HYDROFISH
: A wider nose offers for more float under the chest and stability at the take-off. The swallow tail combined with rail
wingers grips into the wave face in bigger conditions for a reassuring down the line control. Very versatile with its 5 fins configuration: thruster for maneuverability and quad set-up (optional) for speed and hold.

HYBRIDS
Those shapes are ideal for slower waves or mushier conditions. At ease in small to medium size swell, they pack up a lot of speed and reactivity underfoot to fly above flat sections and take advantage of every ramp.
BEAN : The name is the symbol of its shape: compact, wide and thick, with a flat rocker. All parameters have been fine tuned to deliver maximum acceleration, and to allow the quick and precise adjustments needed to unleash the fun of small wave surfing.
WEGG : The mix of a Wombat’s speed and an egg’s comfort. Step forward to the front of the board to hit the gas of the planing hull. Once you’ve built enough speed, step back and set your back foot on the narrower squash tail to get the drive needed for all your maneuvers.

LONGBOARDS
Gérard DABBADIE first made his name by shaping longboards. Select your shape and sizes according to your riding style. Shorter sizes will maximize maneuverability while longer boards are ideal for more relaxed cruising style, with endless nose rides. The most recent shape of this range, the 9’2 Nose Rider has been entirely re-shaped in 2018 based on top longboarders feedback. We have flattened the rails for more hold into the wave face and optimized the rocker for a better nose riding ability. The shape of the nose has also been redesigned to react for better control while hang-fiving or hang-tening on it. Stepping on the 9’2 Nose Rider from nose to tail has never been so easy.

After numerous World Cup victories in the early 2000s, BIC Sport took a different course to other manufacturers, turning its back on “elite” competitions, instead investing in mono-type racing for young sailors with the launch of the Techno 293 OD. BIC Sport has also taken a radically different option regarding its factory production: whereas all its competitors have out-sourced their board manufacture to Asia, BIC Sport decided to keep its production facility in France. The result is that the Techno 293 OD is now the biggest-selling competition board anywhere in the world (see One Design pages) and that BIC Sport is the only major manufacturer in Europe capable of manufacturing boards by industrialised thermoformed processes that are able to respond to the increasing demand for long-lasting windsurf products. The first is TOUGH-TEC (Polyethylene/Polystyrene), which offers schools, clubs and families the option of ultra-tough boards while keeping weight to a minimum, all at a very affordable price. The second is the thermoformed composite ACE-TEC, which has an un-rivalled strength/weight ratio. After the generations of Techno that have made its reputation, this new technology has enabled us to develop the brand new Techno Wind Foil that will allow you to learn and enjoy the great sensations of foil riding, AND progress fast on a board that is tough, light weight and high performance. The “PRO” version uses C-TEC construction (carbon/glass sandwich) for taking that performance to yet another level.
Learn, progress, compete, spend time having fun on the water. BIC Sport’s view of windsurf says that it’s still the fastest, most exciting board sport around, as long as its kept simple and durable!

TECHNO WIND FOIL OVERVIEW
The brand new TECHNO FOIL is the ideal board for experiencing and enjoying freeride and foil-board riding. Conceived to do both to high level, it enables you to sail in much lighter winds, and to get maximum fun in the widest range of conditions possible. With the foil it's perfectly balanced and will have you sailing in as little as 10 knots of wind. The foil is wide, making it easy to get up, and to enjoy effortless control of the board itself. Remove the foil and you have a TECHNO that is powerful and very quickly up to planing, extremely responsive and high speed. In this configuration you'll get the best out of it between 15 and 25 knots of wind. It's a "convertible" package that will please riders who want the best of both, light-wind foil riding and strong-wind fun. The Techno Wind Foil is 100% Made-in-France using the BIC Sport exclusive ACE-TEC construction technology, resulting in a board with an unrivaled strength/weight ratio. The Techno Wind Foil is also available as a "Pro" version, manufactured in C-TEC (carbon/glass fibre sandwich) that is ultra-light and rigid, delivering even higher performance and even earlier planing. The board was designed by one of the hottest shapers around, Jean-Marie Guiriec. KEY FEATURES TECHNO WIND FOIL 130 + FOIL • Maximum stability to uphaul the sail and get started in light-wind conditions. • With a maximum width of 81.5cm, and a width carried through to 1-ft from the tail, the board takes-off early and easily. • Comfortable and even drive through the legs once flying. Sailing position balanced with the Foil. • Softened rails in the front 1/3 of the board so that the board sails through touch downs and flies again quickly, with maximum control and safety. • Refined board shape that flies efficiently through the wind, ideal for driving upwind or blasting across the wind. • Full deck pad at the rear of the board for maximum comfort during take-off and foiling. KEY FEATURES TECHNO WIND FOIL 130 BOARD • A rocker line that gives a very smooth ride with maximum control, and a very balanced feel on the water. • A width that facilitates early and easy planing. • Thin rails facilitate easy gybing despite the board’s width. Volume and width ensure that the board powers out of gybes. • Balanced feel makes the board very easy to power upwind. • Softened rails refined for Foil use, also ensure that the board has a very smooth ride over choppier conditions. • Wide wind range from 15-25 knots, ideal with sail sizes from 7m² to 8.5m², perfect when the wind is too strong for comfortable wind foiling. • Max GPS Speeds of 31-33 knots achieved in testing confirm a very sporty ride, fast and comfortable to sail. KEY FEATURES TECHNO FOIL • T-700 carbon prepreg construction, with an Airex + Prepreg sandwich core for maximum stiffness, performance, and durability over time. No aluminum. • Made to last, made in France. • Mast Height 85 cm : Ideal mast size for fun flying “freeride” performance, rapid progression in choppy conditions (no touch downs), easy to transport to and from the water’s edge. • Wing profile : Accessible, fast and stable in flight. An easy and progressive take-off ensures rapid progression. • Front mast support ensures a solid connection between the board and foil, at the right angle. • Mast can be disassembled from the fuselage for easy transport. • High grade, marine quality stainless steel screws for ease of use. • Delivered in a transport bag. • Wings can be upgraded for maximum performance with the same mast + fuselage base. 66
C-TEC / ACE-TEC BEST FOR Learning the great sensations of foil riding and progressing your level. FOR WHO Intermediate to advanced level windsurfers interested in a single board they can use from 10 knots of wind with the foil, and without the foil when the wind gets up.
BIC WINDSURF
SUMMARY The Techno Wind Foil is a super-efficient "2-in1" board, whether you're using it as a pure light-wind funboard or with the foil. You're planing incredibly early, and the foil is simple to learn. A high-performance combination that keeps it simple.

ACCESSORIES
BIC WINDSURF FOIL The BIC Windsurf Foil has been designed for learning foil board riding. Fitted to a TECHNO 133 or 148, or any other freeride board, it enables you to sail and fly in just 12-13 knots of wind, even less with a bit of experience.

It allows you to sail in less wind, to increase your light wind speed and to give you a completely new sensation of windsurfing, the special pleasure of sailing and flying silently above the water. A unique, easy-to-enjoy experience ! Materials: Carbon fibre mast ; wings and fuselage made from uni- and bi-axial carbon fibre, giving a perfect combination of stiffness and flex, better control, and optimum performance.

BIC KAYAKS
KAYAKING Ever since we released our first kayak in 2000, we've been focusing on their design, performance, quality, fixtures and fittings, to ensure that you get maximum fun out on the water. From the simplest Sit-On-Top to the easy to transport light-weight inflatables, our 2019 collection will satisfy all your expectations with innovative, aesthetic, stable kayaks delivering excellent sensations and satisfaction. They will quickly become the must have companions of all your family holidays. This year's inflatable range increases with the addition of two new high pressure kayaks, the Full HP 3 and the Full HP Fishing, exceptional quality inflatables for both construction and performance. In the rigid kayak range, the latest generation Borneo and Java boats are still our best-sellers, with all the features and assets that make the difference and have won them the Prix du Design prize. Made in our factory in France using the Twin Sheet thermoformed construction technique we have developed over the last 40 years, BIC Sport rigid kayaks also pay consideration to environmental issues: the technique has a low energy requirement, is non-polluting, and allows us to re-cycle and re-use all the off-cuts the production runs generate. And the entire kayak is re-cyclable at the end of its life. To help you make the best choice, the kayak ranges are classified and named according to the performance desired/intended. « Beach », « Sport », « Performance » and « Fishing » are labels that will guide you as you make your selection. So whether it's serious exploring, having fun at the beach, hooking big fish, or taking them travelling, we hope you’ll enjoy the whole BIC Sport kayak range.

BIC KAYAKS
KEY PRODUCT FEATURES
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 for the environmental considerations behind their manufacturing/construction technology.

Large central section with narrow water channels to optimise glide
TWIN SHEET TECHNOLOGY 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.
ERGONOMIC SEATING
The seat ergonomics of the entire BIC Sport kayak range have been specially developed to ensure optimum paddle comfort. • 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. • Centre of gravity set low down for improved stability, but above the flotation line so that the bottom of the seats stays dry.
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 (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

BIC SPORT
ONE DESIGN CLASS
The growing success of fun, friendly competitive watersports 106
9 000 Boats 30 Countries
COMPETITION One of the primary reasons Baron Bich founded BIC Sport was to make watersports activities affordable and accessible to 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 competitions. Affordable, easy to ride and with great performance, the Techno 293 OD has, in the space of a few short years, become the most dynamic sailing class in windsurfing with 10 000 young racers now competing. Expanding upon this success BIC Sport launched the O’pen BIC junior sailboat in 2006, which quickly became a World Sailing International Class. The international body clearly recognized the new dinghy as a way of attracting more youngsters to sailing, and today there are 9000 O’pen BICs sailing in over 30 countries, with several national sailing associations also approving the Class and its fun sailing format at a national level.

TECHNO 293 OD
Techno 293 OD is the single biggest windsurf class with 10 000 young riders sailing somewhere in the world. Tens of thousands of young sailors are racing or have raced on this board. Techno 293 OD was recognized by World Sailing as a class in its own right in 2006. Since then it has seen phenomenal growth in more than 40 countries and on all 6 continents. The Techno 293 OD is an official World Sailing international Class which covers six categories (age/gender division) who are currently using the Techno 293 OD : U15 boys and girls, U17 boys and girls and Open age boys and girls. The board and fin size are identical in these divisions. The only variance is in the rig sizes sanctioned in relation to rider size and weight : 6.8m² for Under 15s and 7.8m² for the Under 17s/open.
NEXT STEP : TECHNO 293 PLUS The Techno Plus Class is now growing fast and has been recognized by World Sailing as an International Class. Four categories (age/gender divisions) are currently using the Techno 293 Plus : U19 girls and boys and Open men and women. The class can award 4 world titles in these categories. The French sailing federation has recently awarded two titles (girls and boys) for competitors in the 17/25 age group on the Techno + which is now an official class in France. Bigger Sail and bigger fin can be used in this class: max 8.5 m² for the rig and 50 cm for the fin. This combination fits perfectly with the requirement for heavier weights. Lighter weights can still use the 6.8 and 7.8 m² rigs. 108

O'PEN BIC
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 World Sailing’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.

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