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 there was any awareness of environmental issues, it was keen to use a « clean » manufacturing process whereby materials could be recycled, and the production process did not involve gas emissions. From start to end of life-cycle, BIC Sport products are environmentally-friendly.

Eco-Design and Environmental Awareness Low energy consumption

No pollution

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

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

Few resources used

100% recyclable

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

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

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

Awards • O’pen BIC : « Bateau Bleu » prize awarded by the Fédération des Industries Nautiques in 2007. • Kayaks : Several « Etoiles du Design » between 2002 and 2010, with particular emphasis on their environmentally-friendly concept. • SUP: BIC Sport received the 2013 Outside Magazine GEAR OF THE YEAR award for the 12’6 and 11’ WING Stand Up Paddleboards. The Outside summer Buyer’s Guide not only highlights the very best in adventure gear, from sports equipment but also calls out the best values in each class. • BIC Sport has been voted Brand of the Year 2013 by EuroSIMA, (Europe-wide trade association for board sports). The Brand of the Year award recognises the actions and efforts made by manufacturers having had a golden year in terms of progression, product development, and/or a major boost of brand image accross Europe during the year.

BIC SPORT The Machinery

DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN FRANCE

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.

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

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

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

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

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

For 2015 the BIC Surf range continues the evolution of the DURA-TEC boards by introducing the new 7’6 DURA-TEC Mini Nose Rider. This larger sibling of the 7’0 EGG - which was a great success in its first year, is perfect for enjoying the fun nose-riding capability of a longboard, while still being as maneuverable as an EGG board for handling the radical turns and tight carves. All DURA-TEC boards continue to be supplied with traction tail pads to maximize performance and comfort for the rider and adding value to the board. The new G-BOARD 7’0 & 8’0 shapes have also proven a great success for surf schools, with the flatter decks and wider outlines making surfing for the first time easier than ever. As a result we have now applied this new shape to a kids board, the new 6’0 G-BOARD EVO, meaning that kids can progress just as quickly as their parents! 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.

NEW 7'6'' Mini Nose Rider

Dura-TEC 7’6’’ MINI NOSE RIDER The new 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. Gérard Dabbadie : «This 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.»

Matahi: ‘‘I was bowled over by the control and comfort on top of the wave, where it pivots on its own axis.’’ 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.

TAIL PADS : All DURA-TEC Boards now come with tail pads, maximizing your foot grip and control during all manoeuvers and conditions.

Dura-TEC 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. 5’10’’ x 20.50’’ / 178 x 52cm / 35L Weight range : ≤154lbs / ≤70kg 5'10'' Fish
