One board for

GUARANTEED Water Time!!

How many days have you gone to the beach and the wind, waves or both were not quite as you expected? Are you new to the water and want a fun board for a variety of conditions? Well, the BIC Jungle provides the answer with GUARANTEED water time for the whole family!

From no wind and no waves, through to medium winds and waves… you can get out on the water and have fun no matter what! And you don’t have to just windsurf, with our BIC Jungle you can turn to surfi ng, stand-up paddling and kayaking!

Having evolved from the design base of the latest stand-up paddle boards, which need to both glide well and surf in the waves, BIC Sport has drawn on its wealth of experience in windsurfi ng, surfi ng and kayaks to produce the BIC Jungle.

Shaped by the renowned windsurf custom shaper Sergio Munari, in co-operation with the legendary surf shaper Gerard Dabbadie, the BIC Jungle is the ultimate FUN board for all conditions!

The BIC Jungle, for everyone, everywhere!!

The most dynamic in windsurfing. If you want to race under completely equal conditions, with affordable equipment and in a great competition atmosphere, the Techno 293 OD was designed for you !

An ISAF International Class board for under 17s and under 15s,

the Techno 293 OD has undergone an explosion of interest in the last two years. No less than 200 young windsurfers were on the start line for latest world championships. Many countries have adopted the board as their chosen tool for bringing on young riders. The Techno 293 has rapidly become the biggest fleet in world windsurfing. The ultimate accolade has been the selection of the 293 with the One Design rig as the set up for the Junior Olympic Games in Singapore in 2010.

The new Techno Pro range makes an ideal quiver for riding with top quality equipment in all kinds of conditions.

Made from Epoxy Sandwich, the Techno Pro slalom boards are Marco Copello signature boards, while Pierre Bracard’s name is on the wave and wave slalom boards. To create a full quiver, we chose a range of boards that each has a program particularly suited to the various wind and sea conditions that you can encounter. In light to moderate winds, riders want to get up to planing fast and have great forward speed: the Techno Pro 80, 74 and 64 are pure race and slalom boards. As the wind gets up and the waves start to swell, the Techno Pro 65 and 57 come into play with their wave slalom shapes that are both fast and highly manoeuvrable. For strong, sustained winds and waves, the Techno Pro 54 is the best suited to those conditions! It’s over to you to choose the board according to your weight and to the water conditions!

This legendary range is part of the history of funboarding, boards

that are easy to ride, fast and versatile. The Techno 283 was the fi rst of

the new generation of wide boards. Since then, the Techno series has

shown its supremacy in all types of water conditions and won much

public appreciation : from the most demanding of racers (Techno 293OD)

to lovers of long distance racing and cruising (Hi Ho)… not forgetting

funboard clubs the world over and the most hardcore of funboard riders,

they’ve all loved the boards’ performance, strength, stiffness and light

weight, matched by the quality of the fi ttings. The whole Techno series is

now accepted as the benchmark in their individual categories.

The Core series is aimed at windsurfers looking for good value

at a good price. They come with a fun guarantee, backed up by

years of windsurf experience. These boards have proven their worth

in all sorts of conditions and their versatility has been well noted in all

the magazine tests. Made from Thermoformed Glass Composite,

they’ve got great stiffness and even better resistance to knocks.

The fi ttings have likewise been selected for their excellent value

for money.

On a Nova, windsurfing is like child’s play ! These boards

have been developed specifi cally for learning to windsurf and

progressing. With their comfortable volumes and wide deck area,

these are great boards for making your fi rst runs and starting to

have fun from day 1. The deck is covered in EVA foam for extra

grip and comfort.

Nova boards have a retractable dagger board (with the exception

of the Nova 165), plus multiple footstrap positions, making them

suitable for all levels of rider to enjoy strong wind conditions and

start getting into funboard and jibing. Their relatively short length

means they’re highly manoeuvrable, but still have great speed when

the wind fi lls in and they start planing, giving you the excitement of

full-on funboarding !

Powerful acceleration, light in the

hands, and a huge wind range!

In order to support the growth and development of the Techno 293 OD and Hybrid classes, BIC Windsurf

developed the One Design Rig package for use specifically by youth sailors on hybrid boards.

This rig package has been designed to be raced in the widest wind range possible, representing the best

possible compromise between light wind pumping performance and high wind planing performance.

The key features of these rigs include:

• A huge wind range: from 6 to 30 knots. By tuning the downhaul and outhaul, the sail can be

rigged either very full with a tight leech, or very fl at with an open leech.

• A draft placement at approx. 40% from the front of the sail (freeride sails = 30% / sub-planing sails =

50%), offering the best compromise between lightwind performance and high wind control.

• 6 batten / 2 cam confi guration for the best compromise between weight and performance.

• A very stable profi le for ease of use and control in the high winds.

• A tack strap tensioner for maximum tuning range and power in light winds.

• X-Ply reinforcements in critical areas, durable luff pocket material and webbing batten

tensioners for ease of use and practicality in a club and racing environment.

Learning has never been

so easy!!

The Nova rig package is the ideal choice for “leisure” sailing on relatively fl at water. It has been

designed with pure simplicity and durability in mind, and is ideally suited with our Nova range of

boards. It allows you to learn and progress into the sport of windsurfing without worrying about

your equipment!

The sail has been designed on a fixed mast and boom length, so when you get to the beach

all you have to do is thread the mast up the sail, pull the downhaul to the base of the mast,

the outhaul to the clew of the boom, and then go sailing! The sail is made from tough Dacron,

is well reinforced and super hard wearing, great for intensive use. The mast is made with a

durable composite construction, while the boom has a minimum number of moveable parts

making it easy to use, light weight, and durable.

This Nova package is aimed at beginner to intermediate windsurfers who want to easily

progress in the sport. For clubs, it offers a tough, versatile rig package for intensive use

by learning windsurfers and funboarders.

Power and stability

for high performance

The Speedster is the high performance rig package of the Techno Rig range. A good performer in all conditions, it is ideally matched with our Techno and Core freeride boards. It is the ideal rig package for those who have a good level and are looking to go fast, carrying large sails in as much wind as possible.

The characteristics of each sail vary according to the size and specifi c user range:

  1. Focus on speed, stability and control for the smaller “slalom” orientated high wind sizes, and

  2. Focus on acceleration and ease of use for the larger more “race” orientated light wind sizes.

Special attention has been paid to ensure a wide wind range for all the sails, particularly in the stronger winds, and to ensure the easy rotation of the cambers. The construction includes extra X-Ply reinforcement in critical areas: X-Ply in the foot, reinforcement in the head and batten ends, and a hard wearing fabric for the luff pocket. With a high quality boom, 60 % carbon mast, the Speedster is the ideal rig package if you want to take your windsurfing performance to the next level.

Easy handling all rounder

with a steady, smooth power

Ideal for either our Techno or Core boards, the Cruiser is a pure freeride rig, both easy to use and lightweight, a rig that really performs in light to moderate winds.

Its modern design gives it a wide wind range despite the absence of cambers. With plenty of sail area down low, it’s got plenty of power to get you up and planing easily, with a smooth and steady pull allowing you to get into the harness and footstraps comfortably.

With no cams it is easy to manoeuvre during gybes, tacks, and tricks. With its soft response it is a rig that is easy to control and simply fun to ride. The Cruiser comes with a quality mast and wishbone and is excellent value for money. It’s ideal for all our freeride boards and for making your runs.
