DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN EUROPE

There are limitless kayaking possibilities and our 2011 collection has something to answer each and every need, whether it be with your family or friends : Sit-on-top to discover the pleasure of sea, river and lake kayaking, sit-in kayaks for higher performance, adventure kayaking, or an inflatable kayak to get you to those truly secret and remote spots. Stable, practical, tough and well designed at the same time, BIC Sport kayaks are the essential water holiday toy.

Our sit-on-top range is extended this year with the arrival of the Diablo, joining the celebrated Bilbao model in our all-rounder kayaks range. It incorporates the same qualities and design features, fittings and finish that have made the other kayaks in our sit-on-top range so successful, and like all the other BIC Sport kayaks, it's 100% recyclable at the end of its life.

In our range of high-pressure inflatables, the new Nomad pushes the concept of the go-anywhere kayak even further with some innovative design features.

Our range of fittings has been further improved with brand new futuristic backrests and an extended range of paddles to suit all styles and sizes of paddler.

We wish you some very enjoyable paddling in 2011.

Sustainable development : a priority for BIC Sport In order to respect the environment, our kayaks are made in thermoformed polyethylene, a particularly ecologically friendly material, as during its production very few hazardous chemicals are used and there is no wasted material.

Again in the production of the kayak, all excess material is broken down and recycled back into the production process, any gas emissions into the atmosphere are negligible and the water used for cooling is recycled.

Design

Creative designs Innovative products Gliding sensations THD - Tri Hull Design : designed for fun The unique THD shape provides the optimum in speed, comfort and stability for BIC Sport Kayaks. The result of 30 years of BIC Sport watercraft design and innovation, the THD shape has been developed to provide improved gliding and stability while maintaining maneuverability. Inspired from current tri-maran designs, the THD shape features a central section (1) for increased gliding, two outside hull sections (2) to stabilize the kayak and two intermediate concaves (3) to create lift and an optimal mix of water and air for heightened performance. These designs have also been picked up on by the Observeur du Design, which has awarded BIC Sport numerous prestigious "Etoiles du Design". These Etoiles were in recognition not only of the kayak design, but also of BIC Sport's TST construction technology that is environmentally friendly.

Ergonomics

YAKKAir : The choice of materials and the design of our new YAKKAir range have been the subject of an enormous amount of research, resulting in a kayak that is light weight, good looking and delivers great performance. The dynamic, double-concave hull gives the kind of handling you’d normally expect from a rigid.

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

The seat ergonomics of the whole BIC Sport kayak range have been particularly developed for optimum paddling comfort.

• The seat is roomy and comfortable, and is also inclined and padded to keep the paddler in place, and relieve leg pressure while using the foot braces.

• The centre of gravity is positioned low for better stability, but above the flotation line so that the bottom of the seat stays dry.

An optional seat is available as an accessory to optimize comfort.

The comfortable paddling position of the YAKKAir kayaks gets similar attention to detail, with a dry paddling position on a rigid base, fully fitted (backrest and foot stretchers) that gives paddlers unrivalled comfort for an inflatable.

Equipment

Functional equipment Durable construction

BIC Sport kayaks are particularly well equipped with practical and quality accessories: abrasion protectors, mesh, mooring straps, carry handles, and watertight hatches on the "Fishing" kayaks. These details make for comfortable kayaking and contribute to your kayak's durability.

1- Foam pads on the seats = better paddling comfort 2- Rubber-coated or Integrated front and rear carry handles = protection from dings and scratches and easy launching.

3- Abrasion protectors front and rear = 6 for greater protection + easy launching.

4- Safety lines = for easy re-entry into kayak.

2 5- Elasticised straps = for secure carrying of equipment and easy accessibility.

6- Transport net = stores your equipment within easy reach.

Construction

Design: FRITSCH Associés.com & Bureau d’Étude BIC Sport

TST - Twin Sheet Technology : exclusive construction technique Twin sheet Technology creates a product that is lighter and stronger than rotomoulded products. These qualities, coupled with our UV resistant polyethylene, give BIC Sport kayaks exceptional durability. Durable and rigid: With 30 years experience in the design and manufacturing of water sports equipment, BIC Sport has used its vast knowledge to make BIC Sport Kayaks fast, comfortable and stable. The hulls of all BIC Sport kayaks have clean fluid lines despite their compact size. These characteristics give the kayaks excellent gliding and stability qualities.

Choosing the right kayak Sit-on-top Canoe Kayak Magazine : « What if the SOTs were the future of kayaking ? stable, secure and easy … what more to ask for to start kayaking ? ».

On a Sit-On-Top, as the name suggests, you don’t need to worry about getting trapped inside if you capsize. You don’t have to empty it and it is easy to get on and off if you wish to go for a swim for example. BIC Sport has brought quality to these kayaks “for all”: solidly built, carefully chosen materials, modern design, quality fittings, BIC Sport SOTs are stable and perform well.

Sit-in Kayakists who started with the Sit-On-Top can easily progress with the new BIC Sport Sit-In Adventure Kayaks.

With their longer and more powerful hull, kayaking on the Adventure kayaks brings different sensations and better glide to go off for longer trips. Their cockpit is wide enough to let one get in and out easily in capsize situations and their width ensures a certain stability.

Inflatable The BIC Sport inflatable kayak range is aimed at two types of kayakists: those who do not have enough room to store a rigid kayak during the winter, and those who like to travel and bring their kayak with them, appreciating their lightness for easy transport on foot, by plane or by car. BIC Sport inflatable kayaks are constructed with both high pressure and low pressure inflatable components.

This innovative design is what gives them superior glide and performance qualities when compared to other inflatables on the market.

SIT-ON-TOP

The spirit of fun kayaking !

The Ouassou is designed as a versatile, fun kayak with a wide range of use.

With its excellent glide, control and maneuverability, the Ouassou is ideal for beach fun. The stern handles let you hang on and swim and allow easy access on board. The Ouassou also handles surf and waves comfortably. The ‘spatula’ shaped hull is derived from surf longboards and rodeo kayaks. It’s quick and responsive.

The slight keel and lateral rail design provide directional stability and excellent tracking. The Ouassou’s optional knee-strap system also allows you to secure your body to the cockpit when you are looking for greater control in waves or whitewater. Its compact form and light weight make this a kayak that is easy to maneuver, transport and store.

The adventure kayak

The Kalao is a veritable 4x4 of the kayak world.

Equally at ease on the sea, rivers or for fun, it really is the kayak for all adventures.

Like all BIC Sport kayaks it features plenty of innovations. The fluid, stable hull design makes it simple for a family of two adults and two children to all ride together in complete comfort. That makes it the first true 3 (adult) person sit-on-top on the market, with 3 proper ergonomic seats. Essentially, the Kalao combines capacity of the old style family canoe, with the safety of a Sit-on-Top kayak!

The other big first : it can be adapted to take an electric motor. The largely flat hull design with very little water draught is extremely stable and allows the kayak to go almost anywhere. Such aspects as storing your belongings while kayaking, as well as carrying and transporting your kayak have all also received detailed attention. One other important point : it’s unsinkable.

SIT-IN

ADvENTuRE

The Sit-In-Kayak for all

The Adventure is the logical next step after our SOTs, enabling one to move on to a more physical type of kayaking, without difficulty.

Its glide and performance is much better than that of a Sit-On-Top and its little skeg at the stern give its good tracking.

Its wide cockpit gives good leg protection and it can be fitted with a spray skirt. Wider than on more sporty types of kayaks, it allows more freedom of movement and allows one to get on and off easily without the fear of staying stuck. On the Adventure, it is therefore easy to get back in after capsizing, after a swim or an under-water diving session.

Stable, compact, fast, it has been designed with comfortable volume, and is equipped with large hatches for storage. With the Adventure you can go off on a trip with enough equipment (up to 135 Kg max load) and track fast without necessarily having had lots of practice.

Light weight and great fun !

Developed directly from the successful YAKKAir HP, the YAKKAir Lite is aimed specifically at coastal paddling close to the beach, for rivers and for other inland waters.Suitable for all skill levels, stable, strong and light weight, the YAKKAir Lite is the ideal way to get out on the water on your holidays. Folded down into its tough storage bag, it's simple to transport either on foot or in the boot of your car.On the construction side, the same multi-material format as used on the YAKKAir HP (Polyurethane bladders + Dacron bladder sleeve, multi-tube bottom with a coated fabric outer skin) has been used. The rigid stiffeners at front and rear tips help to pre-form the hull, sharpening the cutting edge and further improving the already excellent glide.

YAKKAir kayaks can be fitted with flexible deck cover to keep splash water out, without any hindrance to movement or safety (see Accessories page).

High-pressure !

The YAKKAir range is a true revolution in inflatable kayaks. The guiding principle of these innovative boats has been the use of multiple materials in the construction to help reduce weight, plus the combination of a keel and a high-pressure inflatable hull/floor to maximise the V effect and performance. The YAKKAir series are lighter, perform better and give a more comfortable ride than conventional inflatable kayaks as you are paddling in the dry thanks to the rigid high-pressure floor.

Wind drag/resistance is reduced and they are easier to steer at sea, giving them a performance equal to that of existing rigid designs.

YAKKAir kayaks are perfect for your seaside holidays : folded down into a carry bag, they're easy to carry on foot or in the boot of your car and are fully inflated for use in minutes using a high-pressure pump with a pressure gauge.

YAKKAir kayaks can be fitted with flexible deck cover to keep splash water out, without any hindrance to movement or safety (see Accessories page).

The innovation of an inflatable, the performance of a rigid LP

HP 2 3

When you sit down in a YAKKAir 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.

The YAKKAir HP2 has been designed for two person paddling, but can easily be used solo by only mounting one of the seat / stretcher units in the centre of the kayak, where appropriate fittings have been incorporated in the design.

SEMI-INFLATABLE

The first semi rigid kayak

The Yakka is innovative in concept and in design. Apart from its great performance, the rigid hull / soft deck concept gives it plenty of character and it will quickly become the perfect partner for your water adventures. The Yakka can be set up in minutes: just unfold the hull sections, secure the center support and inflate the sides. For pack-down, simply deflate the sides and fold the hull closed. Once folded, its impact-resistant hull measures only 1.50m (59”) x 76cm (30”) and the inflatable bladders are protected by the durable and smooth PVC materials. The Yakka is an innovative concept and design that makes paddling accessible and attractive to a wide range of consumers.

Stable and fast, the Fishing series get you quickly to the best fishing spots, and into very shallow or rocky water without risk.

You’ll be right out there in nature !
