The table below is designed to help you choose the right Stand Up Paddleboard for your size and the type of activities you plan to use your board for. The basic rule is, the heavier the rider, the more board volume and width you will need for a stable ride. However, extra width isn’t always better as a wider board typically has less glide and can be more difficult to paddle properly for a smaller rider. Also, more volume than you need will mean you’re carrying around extra size/weight. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ONE BOARD FOR MANY PEOPLE TO USE, GO WITH ONE OF THE BIGGER SIZE BOARDS. Smaller people can always use a bigger board, but bigger riders won’t be successful on a board that is too small.

Max rider weight for good stability

Eco-Design and Environmental Awareness

Low energy consumption• Short production cycle• Short infra-red heating cycle• Low electricity consumption

Few resources used • Rejection rate < 2,5 / 1000• Surplus material systematically recycled back into the production process• A capacity per mould 5 times greater than standard techniques

No pollution• Closed circuit cooling of the moulds• No gas emissions• No solvents

100% recyclable• The O’pen BIC, the kayaks and the dinghies are boats that can be entirely recycled at the end of their life-cycle. They can be crushed and recycled for other usage.

Awards• O’pen BIC : « Bateau Bleu » prize awarded by the Fédération des Industries Nautiques in 2007.• Kayaks : Several « Etoiles du Design » between 2002 and 2010, with particular emphasis on their environmentally-friendly concept.

Ecoride recognitionDeveloped by EuroSIMA Cluster in collaboration with the ADEME, Ecoride is a tool which provides the ability to measure and determine environmental efforts of companies within the boardsports industry. BIC Sport got this recognition thanks to its implementation of an environmental management system for the entire company.

BIC Sport has been manufacturing watersport products for over 30 years. Long before there was any

awareness of environmental issues, it was keen to use a « clean » manufacturing process whereby materials

could be recycled, and the production process did not involve gas emissions. From start to end of life-cycle,

BIC Sport products are environmentally-friendly.

BIC SPORT

BIC Sport is the proud owner of an industrial tool that is unique in the world, capable of three different

manufacturing techniques : thermoforming, thermoforming around a polystyrene core, and blow moulding/

blown extrusion. BIC Sport is the only manufacturer in the world to have these three manufacturing techniques

available on one production site. This enables us to produce six different product types.

The Machinery

Hollow Twin-Sheet thermoformingThe principle : two slabs (deck and hull) are heat-moulded in an aluminium mould then pressure-fused together. The whole thing is then cooled and taken for finishing in the workshops.

Products using this technique : kayaks, O’pen BIC, dinghies.

Thermoforming around a polystyrene coreThe principle : a polystyrene blank is covered with fibreglass layers which is then impregnated with resin before being moved to a mould containing two prepared thermomoulded ASA finishing sheets. The mould is pressure-sealed, then cooled, the finished product extracted and sent for finishing.

Products using this technique : CTS windsurf boards, ACE-TEC surf boards, ACE-TEC SUP boards.

Blow moulding/Blown extrusion The principle : a tube of extruded (molten) polyethylene is gravity-moulded and then shaped by being blown against the inner walls of its hollow mould. Next it’s cooled, taken out of the mould and moved to a steel shaper where it is expansion-filled with high density polyurethane foam.

Products using this technique : Beach windsurf boards, DURA-TEC surf boards, DURA-TEC SUP boards.
