BIC Sport, World of Watersports

The world market leader in the field of windsurf for over 20 years, in the last 20 years BIC Sport has diversified into the manufacture of surf boards, kayaks, sailing dinghies for children, and has most recently focussed its knowledge and experience on launching an extensive range of Stand Up Paddle boards. This latest brand new board sport is largely based on the principles of simplicity and accessibility that have underpinned BIC's enduring success.

BIC Sport has become the world's leading expert for water sports. A forerunner in the industrial scale manufacture of surf and SUP boards, a benchmark manufacturer in the demanding surf market, BIC Sport is also a European market leader in sit-on-top kayaks, with a range of innovative kayaks that have picked up numerous design awards. In competition sailing, BIC Sport is behind a new concept in Junior windsurf competitions, with the Techno 293 One Design that has seen massive growth in the last few years. And more recently BIC Sport has created a similar dynamic in the world of dinghy sailing, where their highly innovative O'pen BIC model has totally revitalised the world of child/youth dinghy racing.

For its manufacturing/production, BIC Sport has created an industrial process facility that is unique in the field, using three differing construction technologies : thermoform, thermoform on a PE core, and blown extrusion. Located at its base in Vannes, Brittany, France, this production facility turns out over 65,000 pieces of product every year for export to more than 90 countries.
