"MJJCARGML WWWBICSPORTCOM 2008 collection Outdoor ‘adventure’ sports have been the big winners of the move to a more ecological lifestyle over the last few years and our kayaks are a perfect option for anyone wanting to spend time on the water. Kayak enthusiasts, ever more demanding, want stable, practical, hard-wearing and aesthetically pleasing boats, but also that respect the environment. The same objectives have guided our kayak design for some years now, which explains their overwhelming success. 2007 has been another very positive year that has reinforced our position as a leader, and Number 1 innovator in Sit-on-Top kayaks, proven again by the success of the new Kalao, the first family kayak for three paddlers, with its outstandingly versatile performance and optional electric motor adaptability. The prestigious “Observeur du Design” award was won by the Yakka, the only semi-rigid kayak on the market today. That honor adds the Yakka to the previous awards earned by the Ouassou, Bilbao and Scapa giving the BIC Sport range clear distinction among all brands. The new wave of interest in kayaks for fishing is reflected in two new, dedicated Bilbao and Kalao “Fishing” models for 2008. Creative designs Innovative products Gliding sensations Functional equipment Durable construction Sustainable development : a priority for BIC Sport In order to respect the environment, our kayaks are made in thermoformed polyethylene, a particularly ecologically friendly material, as during its production very few hazardous chemicals are used and there is no wasted material. Again in the production of the kayak, all excess material is broken down and recycled back into the production process, any gas emissions into the atmosphere are negligible and the water used for cooling is recycled.

The result of over 20 years of BIC Sport watercraft design and innovation, the THD shape has been developed to provide improved gliding and stability while maintaining maneuverability. Inspired from current tri-maran designs, the THD shape features a central section (1) for increased gliding, two outside hull sections (2) to stabilize the kayak and two intermediate concaves (3) to create lift and an optimal mix of water and air for heightened performance. On the Ouassou, the design is revised to feature two concaves for increased gliding and lift. Construction Design Colours TST - Twin Sheet Technology : exclusive construction technique Twin sheet Technology creates a product that is lighter and stronger than rotomoulded products. These qualities, coupled with our UV resistant polyethylene, give BIC Sport kayaks exceptional durability. Durable and rigid: With more than 20 years experience in the design and manufacturing of water sports equipment, BIC Sport has used its vast knowledge to make BIC Sport Kayaks fast, comfortable and stable. The hulls of the Bilbao and Tobago have clean fluid lines despite their compact size. These characteristics give the kayaks excellent gliding and stability qualities. %GQFGLE 12’11’’ / 3.95m 14’4’’ / 4.35m 9’4’’ / 2.80m 9’10’’ / 3.00m 31.5’’ / 0.80m 34.6’’ / 0.88m 30’’ / 0.76m 31’’ / 0.78m 34.6’’ / 0.88m 70lbs / 32kg 87lbs / 39.5kg 48.5lbs / 22kg 50lbs / 23kg 90.4lbs / 41kg 550lbs / 250kg 683lbs / 310kg 265lbs / 120kg 264lbs / 120kg 683lbs / 310kg 2 adults + 1 child 2 adults + 2 children 1 adult 1 adult + 1 child* 2 adults + 2 children 14’4’’ / 4.35m The seat ergonomics of the whole BIC Sport kayak range have been particularly developed for optimum paddling comfort. • The seat is roomy and comfortable, and is also inclined and padded to keep the paddler in place, and relieve leg pressure while using the foot braces. • The centre of gravity is positioned low for better stability, but above the flotation line so that the bottom of the seat stays dry. An optional seat is available as an accessory to optimize comfort. Equipment Ergonomics *child (max 55lbs / 25kg) 1- Foam pads on the seats = better paddling comfort 2- Rubber-coated front and rear carry handles = protection from dings and scratches and easy launching. 3- Abrasion protectors front and rear. The rear is fitted with a drag wheel = for greater protection + easy launching. 4- Safety lines = for easy re-entry into kayak. 5- Elasticised straps = for secure carrying of equipment and easy accessibility. 6- Transport net = stores your equipment 2 within easy reach. 5 1 6 1 2 3 4 3 The spirit of fun kayaking ! The Ouassou is designed as a versatile, fun kayak with a wide range of use. With its excellent glide, control and maneuverability, the Ouassou is ideal for beach fun. Also, the stern handles let you hang on and swim and also allow easy access on board. The Ouassou also handles surf and waves comfortably. The ‘spatula’ shaped hull is derived from surf longboards and rodeo kayaks. It’s quick and responsive. The slight keel and lateral rail design provide directional stability and excellent tracking. The Ouassou’s optional knee-strap system also allows you to secure your body to the cockpit when you are looking for greater control in waves or whitewater. Its compact form and light weight make this a kayak that is easy to maneuver, transport and store.

Equally at ease on the sea or rivers, for fun or for fishing, it really is the kayak for all adventures. Like all BIC Sport kayaks it features plenty of innovations. The fluid, stable hull design makes it simple for a family of two adults and two children to all ride together in complete comfort. That makes it the first true 3 (adult) person sit-on-top on the market, with 3 proper ergonomic seats. Essentially, the Kalao combines capacity of the old style family canoe, with the safety of a Sit-on-Top kayak! The other big first : it can be adapted to take an electric motor. The largely flat hull design with very little water draught is extremely stable and allows the kayak to go almost anywhere. Such aspects as storing your belongings while kayaking, as well as carrying and transporting your kayak have all also received detailed attention. The fishing version has numerous additional features, including : 4 rod positions, 2 large watertight boxes, plenty of storage space... One other important point : it’s unsinkable.

Fishing Stable, very little water draught and perfectly equipped with a wide deck for carrying equipment, it’s ideal for river and sea fishing. The “fishing” version comes fitted with storage hatches and rod holders. Trekking Big volume, stable and with excellent all-round performance, this is the ideal kayak for longer trips. Big, wide storage areas for your bags, handles for portage, hard-wearing hull, nose and tail... it’s also very well suited to clubs and other organizations. Motorized Using the optional accessory mount, the Kalao can be easily fitted with an electric motor that can be positioned to either the centre or rear depending on the number of paddlers. It’s very useful for making you fully independent and as a safety back up for families, trekkers or anglers. A new idea of kayak The Yakka was designed for those with limited storage space for their kayak. The principle is similar to other semi rigid, folding boats: it can be folded and stored in a small space. On the water, the Yakka is a high performance kayak that glides along on its rigid hull and provides a paddling experience equal to that of standard rigid-form kayaks. 1- Transport 2- Closed 3- Folded 4- Unfolding 5- Inflated, ready to go The Yakka is high performance The rigid hull is derived from the BIC Sport kayak tri-maran (THD) design assuring excellent glide and stability. The Yakka is easy to store Folded, the Yakka is only 1.50m x 76cm and fits into the car as easily as it fits into the garage, loft or cupboard. The Yakka is practical to use Set up and pack down of the Yakka are very simple and can be done in a few minutes. A high quality pump is supplied with the boat. The Yakka is safe Buoyancy and stability are already provided by the rigid hull and are completed by the inflatable section above it. The Yakka is tough The inflatable bladder is protected by a hard wearing PVC cover with a high quality finish. The two rigid parts are made from thermoformed polyethylene, like our other BIC Sport Kayaks. The first semi rigid kayak The Yakka is innovative in concept and in design. Apart from its great performance, the rigid hull / soft deck concept gives it plenty of character and it will quickly become the perfect partner for your water adventures. The Yakka can be set up in minutes: just unfold the hull sections, secure the center support and inflate the sides. For pack-down, simply deflate the sides and fold the hull closed. Once folded, its impact-resistant hull measures only 1.50m (59”) x 76cm (30”) and the inflatable bladders are protected by the durable and smooth PVC materials. The Yakka is an innovative concept and design that makes paddling accessible and attractive to a wide range of consumers.
