EVERYONE EVERYWHERE FOR
Sustainable development: a priority goal for BIC Sport Most BIC Sport products are made in France with particular attention drawn to environmentconscious manufacturing. For example, the kayaks, tenders, and the O'pen BIC dinghy, are made in thermoformed polyethylene using the "Twin Sheet" technology. This manufacturing process is particularly environmentally-friendly as there is no waste matter. During the manufacturing process, any surplus material is recycled back, and there are no gas emissions. All these products can be recycled. Another point: production cycle is short and therefore very low on electricity consumption. Two prizes have been awarded to BIC Sport for the O'pen BIC in this respect: The prize of the "Bateau Bleu" in 2007 and the "Etoile" of the "Observeur du Design" in 2008.
Creative designs Innovative products Gliding sensations Whether you're a sports enthousiast, week-end kayakist or a keen fisherman, on your own or with passengers, BIC Sport's range of sit on top kayaks is the best way of having fun out on the water. Sea, river or lake, they really are totally adapted to all kinds of water, with excellent handling for all sorts of sports and games. Stable, practical, strong and striking all at the same time, they're a must for your holidays. The BIC Sport range is further extended to cover your every need. Whether you want fully rigid, semi-rigid or inflatable kayaks, the same attention to detail goes into every product, the same build quality, the same up to date design concepts that got BIC Sport awarded another prestigious Etoile du Design 2010 for the YAKKAir 1. The innovative YAKKAir range is further embellished this year with two new models aimed at beach holiday paddling. The new wave of fishing kayaks that we set rolling a few years ago has extended itself to include 4 fully but differently fitted models. And we didn't wait for the ecology bandwagon to come along to start respecting the environment : all our rigid and semi-rigid models are and always have been recyclable. Happy paddling !

Functional equipment Durable construction Tri Hull Design: designed for fun and safety
As experts in watercraft design and innovation, we have designed fast and stable kayaks. The THD shape has been developed to provide improved gliding and stability while maintaining manoeuvrability.
YAKKAir: The inflatable kayak of the future
On the HP range the double concave hull and high-pressure floor ensure performance equal to that of existing rigid designs. On the LITE range the particular choice of the materials and the boat's very light weight make for easy paddling.
Equipment: quality fittings
Foam pads on the seats, abrasion protectors front and rear, elasticised straps, safety lines, rubber-coated front and rear carry handles, the equipment of BIC Sport Kayaks has been chosen for its quality.
The seat ergonomics: optimum paddling comfort
The seat ergonomics of the whole BIC Sport kayak range have been particularly developed for optimum paddling comfort.
Twin Sheet Technology: light and durable
Lighter and stronger than rotomoulded products, our TS technology gives BIC Sport kayaks high gliding and exceptional durability characteristics.

ConcEpT The YAKKAir HP innovative range of 2009 marked a significant turning-point in the world of inflatable kayaks, achieving a level of performance second to none. This year two new models, the YAKKAir Lite, broaden the range, and are aimed at coastal paddling close to the beach. Both the HP and Lite YAKKAirs come folded up in their own back-pack carry bag and are set up in a matter of minutes.
hp As practical as an inflatable, as fast as a rigid Optimal use of materials and a high pressure keel/floor are the main guiding principles of this range, in order to have as light a kayak as possible with a particularly high-performance V shaped hull. The YAKKAir HP kayaks are lighter, more comfortable and show higher performance than the traditional type of inflatable kayaks. They are in this respect on a par with any rigid sit-on-top kayak. 1 3

Stable, strong and very light, these low-pressure kayaks have superior glide characteristics and are made from higher-quality materials than that of other low-pressure inflatable kayaks on the market.

High-Performance shapes durable & light construction Windsurfing harnesses the natural elements of the water and the wind to produce a sport that is exciting and exhilarating for all. BIC Windsurf aims to make the experience of windsurfing as simple as possible by developing products that are functional, easy to use, timeless and cost effective. BIC Sport pursues these goals in 2010 with its new range "the Beach" boards, specifically designed for schools, and with the new Core 160D which comes with a daggerboard. The development of the Techno 293OD is another major priority; proof of the continuing growth of the Class worldwide was the turnout at the latest World Championships, in Weymouth (GB), where 260 racers from 24 different countries came together to compete. The selection of the 6.8 and 7.8 One Design rigs as official rigs for this Class is a great boost to the growth of the Class. With the Core boards, the 133, 148, 160D and 293D, BIC Windsurf has made the Techno models available and affordable to all. The Techno range offers, as ever, exciting freeride boards, made for those looking for well-equipped, fast and manoeuvrable boards. At the latest Techno Garmin Runs, a speed of 36.10 knots was registered on a Techno 133, which shows the huge potential of the newest board in this range. The Techno Pro range makes an ideal quiver for riding with top quality equipment in all kinds of conditions and the Jungle provides the answer with GUARANTEED water time for the whole family! We hope that you enjoy windsurfing with BIC Sport. Happy Sailing!
quality equipment affordable prices one design classes Our state of the art technology
(ASA composite thermoforming with aluminium moulds) enables us to maximise all material used and thus reduce weight. The end result is a board that is both 20% lighter than other thermoformed boards and 30% more impact resistant compared to equivalent epoxy sandwich boards.
Our various technologies
• CTS : for stiffness, lightweight and durability (Techno and One Design boards) • TS : Durability is the main goal (Core) • TS/EVA : TS technology with an integrated EVA deck in order to increase comfort (Nova165).

Focus on experience Exceptionnally light, solidly built, incredibly long-lasting and stable, BIC boats have built a solid reputation in the world of leisure boating. The new BIC 245 is the result of 35 years of experience and development ! BIC 245 : This new mid sized dinghy is light, easy to transport and gives you excellent glide whether rowed or powered by an engine. One, two or three people can fit comfortably in a 245. The double rowing position allows you to choose your seating configuration (see drawing). From ferrying men and equipment to an anchored boat, to getting out to the best fishing spots, to being a great toy for the kid, the BIC 245 is very versatile. SPORTYAK : Stable, light, long lasting, man-powered or with a small engine, she is perfect in all situations and can be easily carried and stored away. In harbours, lakes, rivers or on the beach, with the children, the Sportyak is the most versatile dinghy available.

Comparison BIC 245 versus V-hull As soon as the weight is off-centre a V-Hull becomes unstable and dangerous, unlike the catamaran shape hull of the BIC 245, which provides high stability and prevents capsizing.
The assets of the BIC 245 DEVELOPED & PRODUCED IN EUROPE
The various carry handles make the boat easy to carry for one or more people. It weighs in at just 39 kg, making it easy to load onto a roof rack.
The catamaran hull gives the best possible stability. The integrated wide rollers allow easy handling over beaches, banks and jetties.
Clever details : the rowing seat is fitted with “glove compartments�, the flat rear design is designed for safe upright storage and the cockpit float line is below the level of the floor, allowing the cockpit to self-empty.
