Over 20 years ago, BIC Sport launched the first ever mass- production board in the history of surfing, at a stroke opening up the sport to tens of thousands of new surfers, offering them a winning combination of quality products at a reasonable price. To guarantee the level of performance required from a good surf board, BIC sport called on the services of some of the top board shapers to develop their new prototypes. One of those shapers, Gerard Dabbadie, quickly understood and believed in the idea of opening the sport upto the biggest possible public, and the use of our industrial processes to produce totally faithfull production copies of his original designs. Nowadays he’s still here, the man behind most of BIC’s surf board designs, of which his legendary 7’9 and 7’3 models have now seen over 100,000 units produced and shipped from the poroduction facility in Vannes, Brittany. In 2013, Eurosima awarded BIC Sport its «Brand of the year» title. In 2015, the Surf Manufacturers Trade Association recognised BIC Sport’s achievements with its Ecoride Gold award for its environmental commitments in the design, but also in the manufacture of its products. BIC Sport also invented a totally new concept, organizing national and international «One Design» competitions, such as the Longboard Challenge in the early 2000s, open to any and all professional surfers. Today, 15 years later, the BIC KID One Design, a one design surf competition open to up and coming young French surfers, stays faithful the «one board for all» concept in amateur competitions. This discipline has seen a record increase in numbers in 2015, with more than 100 young surfers turning up et every BIC KID event. And in a similar vein to the BIC KID One Design, the 2015 Monitors Challenge saw the top surf instructors from south-west France battling against each other, all riding the same board design : the highly popular 7’0 EGG DURATEC.

Over 20 years ago, BIC Sport launched the first ever mass-production board in the history of surfing, at a stroke opening up the sport to tens of thousands of new surfers, offering them a winning combination of quality products at a reasonable price. To guarantee the level of performance required from a good surf board, BIC sport called on the services of some of the top board shapers to develop their new prototypes. One of those shapers, Gerard Dabbadie, quickly understood and believed in the idea of opening the sport upto the biggest possible public, and the use of our industrial processes to produce totally faithfull production copies of his original designs. Nowadays he’s still here, the man behind most of BIC’s surf board designs, of which his legendary 7’9 and 7’3 models have now seen over 100,000 units produced and shipped from the poroduction facility in Vannes, Brittany.

In 2013, Eurosima awarded BIC Sport its «Brand of the year» title. In 2015, the Surf Manufacturers Trade Association recognised BIC Sport’s achievements with its Ecoride Gold award for its environmental commitments in the design, but also in the manufacture of its products.

BIC Sport also invented a totally new concept, organizing national and international «One Design» competitions, such as the Longboard Challenge in the early 2000s, open to any and all professional surfers. Today, 15 years later, the BIC KID One Design, a one design surf competition open to up and coming young French surfers, stays faithful the «one board for all» concept in amateur competitions. This discipline has seen a record increase in numbers in 2015, with more than 100 young surfers turning up et every BIC KID event. And in a similar vein to the BIC KID One Design, the 2015 Monitors Challenge saw the top surf instructors from south-west France battling against each other, all riding the same board design : the highly popular 7’0 EGG DURATEC. And the instructors showed once again just what a quality board the EGG is, the ideal board for surfers to progress their level.

For 2016 the BIC Surf range continues to evolve. Debuting this year is the new PAINT Softboard range, featuring six colorful, fun and comfy shapes, ranging from 4’11’’ to 8’0’’, designed to give anyone the opportunity to have a go at surfing! With soft construction and graphics that POP, these surfboards help you show your true colors at the beach all summer long. DURA-TEC boards receive new graphics to compliment the newly arrived 7’0 Egg and 7’6 Mini-Noserider. The G-BOARD range continues to prove great success for surf schools, with flat decks and wide outlines making surfing for the first time easier than ever. The new 6’0 G-BOARD EVO is the perfect first board for kids, and experienced surfers have been adding it to their quiver as a playful, super soft summertime board! 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.

Constant innovation, a coherent product range with something to offer all levels of surf rider, both of these elements figure in the BIC Surf DNA, making BIC one of the biggest single brand surf manufacturers in the world.

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.

6’7 Shortboard A short-board that turns on the spot, is comfortable off the top of the wave and really surfs your line. With a slightly

pumped up volume it also caters easily for the beginner-intermediate market. Kids can learn on it, intermediates find that it’s the perfect

first short-board, and advanced riders can use it as their reliable go-to board for all conditions, even when the conditions get bigger.

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.

7’6 Mini Nose Rider The 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.

7’9 Natural Surf 2 One of the most versatile boards of the range, particularly for those looking for a combination of longboard stability and

mini-mal surfing. The Natural Surf 2 gives lightweight riders a durable and stable “longboard” feel for easily catching many waves.

Heavier surfers will enjoy the mid-range length for their transition to shorter boards, short-board manoeuvers and bigger surf conditions.

* 7'9 Padded: 15.5lbs | 7.10kg

Gérard Dabbadie : «The 7’6 Mini Nose Rider 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.»

BIC Sport’s ACE-TEC construction technique produces a board that is approximately

30% more durable while being almost identical with regard to stiffness and weight when

compared to a similar polyester constructed surfboard. To accommodate the needs

of more advanced surfers, ACE-TEC surfboards provide shapes that not only suit the

intermediate surfer, but also experienced riders who know how to ride a surfboard.

9’4 Nose Rider Designed by the legendary shaper Darrell «Rooster» Dell, the 9’4” Nose Rider is focused on a more traditional nose riding,

old-school style of longboarding. Particularly suited for mid to heavy weight riders the 9’4 has good volume for easy take-offs and stable

nose rider, and shape characteristics favoring good speed and easy rail-to-rail transitions. A versatile board, great for cruising the waves.

9’6 Big Boy The 9’6” Big Boy is a big volume longboard designed for big boy (or girl!) surfers and is also perfect for any size first-

timer to get up and riding with ease. Very similar to the 9’4 Super Magnum but with the added benefits of a lighter weight and stiffer

ACE-TEC Construction. With an easy pick up and take off, anybody can surf with ease and nose ride seemingly the smallest waves.

A fun board, particularly on smaller days

when smaller boards just don’t work.

The wave is your canvas, PAINT IT !If you’re looking for a worry-free board that rips, look no further. The PAINT series

are perfect first boards to learn on during summer vacation. You’ll be comfortable

loaning them to friends to give them a try thanks to a soft, durable finish and ease

of use for new surfers. But these are more than just beginner boards, the PAINT

series was designed to perform, turning small waves into a rippable skatepark for

advanced riders. With a cushy foam deck and POP-colored graphics, PAINT boards

ensure you’ll have a comfortable ride and maximum fun this summer.

PAINT boards are designed to color your waves for many summers to come by using

the highest quality materials throughout. Comfort, safety and durability are a key focus:

- EPS Core with molded in wood or composite stringers (depending on size)

- 2x 6oz full layer deck and bottom for exceptional durability.

- Full layer IXPE deck and rails for optimal comfort and safety.

- Full layer, hard slick skin bottom for maximum glide and performance.

- Soft fins for added safety.

The PAINT palette includes six colorful, loud and proud boards that you can shred in style:

4’11 CheaterSurf all summer, even during blackball, with the Cheater. At 4’11 it slips just under the size limits set by most Southern California beach

lifeguards (that more beaches are starting to adopt), so you won’t have to leave it on the beach during “blackball” hours.

Good surfers and newbies alike will have fun in the shorebreak on this board.

Short Boards 5’6 / 6’0 / 6’6All the qualities you need in your first shortboard: glide, speed, volume for easy take offs and easy surfing, plus a soft comfortable

construction. Choose the size according to the rider profile and surf level: the longer the board, the easier to ride.

The shorter, the more radical you can go!

Malibus 7’0 / 8’0The best boards to enjoy your first waves in safety and style. These Malibu Longboards will also be your boards of

choice when the waves are small and not quite as pumping as you dreamt last night! Longboards allow

you to catch more waves, and as a result you learn quicker and will soon be adding true color

to your local spot.

To meet the particular needs of surf clubs and schools, the G-Board EVO range of soft boards focuses on several clear performance criteria:- A full soft construction for maximum safety, comfort and stress-free surfing.- Good volume and stability for catching waves and quickly standing up with ease.- Reliable surfing performance for ongoing progression.- As with all BIC Surf products, long term durability for years of reliable use, even when used in a surf school environment.

To meet these criteria:- Short and wide boards, with good volume and a relatively flat deck, offer the most stable platform for your first take offs.- Proven rocker lines, rail shapes and board outlines surf great when you start to progress.- The core of the board is made from a high quality blank of closed-cell, fully watertight foam, unique to G-Boards. - A composite stringer gives the board good stiffness along its length.- «Slick Skin» bottom gives the board excellent glide, cushioning bumps and offering impressive knock-resistance.- A laminated foam non-skid deck is comfortable to paddle, take-off and stand-up on.- Flexible soft fins are safe, yet still offer solid surfing performance and durability for learning.
