in the face of a rush towards elite-level performance

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& PRODUCEDIN FRANCE

Catch up with all the info,

news and competition dates

on the official 293 website

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.

up to planing, riders looking to progress towards a more physical riding style.

This legendary range in many ways wrote the modern history of funboarding, with easy-riding, highly versatile boards that are

much respected for their performance, their strength, their light weight and the quality of their fittings. Built using ACE-TEC

construction technology, the Techno boards have become the benchmark in their category. The 2016 range divides neatly in two :

The blue series with the super-versatile Techno 2400 D, Techno 205 D and Techno 160 D which come fitted with a (retractable)

daggerboard on one side, on the other the red series with the Techno 148 and 133 pure funboards.

very useful for handling it in the water during the learning sessions. It is a very solid board, and with its particular volume and its EVA-foam

The Beach 175 D is a more compact board, and is suited to lighter-weight beginners.

It glides well in light winds while maintaining good manoeuvrability. It is fitted with a

retractable daggerboard and with carry handles at the front, side and rear, which help to

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.

The NOVA 6.0 SUP WIND rig

package is ideally suited for

flatwater cruising on the SUP Wind

boards for maximum fun in light to

moderate winds.

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)
