Stand Up Paddling, Paddleboarding, Paddlesurfing, SUP -
Whatever you choose to call it, there’s something magical about
the simple act of walking on water. And unlike other board sports
that demand hours and hours of practice to become proficient,
SUP is easy to learn, simple to do and incredibly FUN. It appeals
equally to men and women, young and old, families, fitness freaks,
thrill seekers, yogis, or anyone curious enough to give it a try.
Once ‘on board’, SUP offers a uniquely elevated perspective on
the water and is a perfect way to explore secluded, hidden coves
and coastlines. With unrivaled ease of use and versatility,
SUP is a sport and a lifestyle that keeps you one paddle stroke
away from adventures big and small.
BIC SUP ambassadors Carine, Manu and their daughters Lou
& Shade (pictured left), were early converts to SUP.
They spend their days traveling the planet with boards and
paddles, seeking out beautiful islands, stunning waves and
native cultures: Tuamotu, Marquises, Palau, India, just a few of
the destinations logged in their SUP travel diary. Then there are
the elite sportsmen and women, including BIC SUPs own Celine
Guesdon, Eric Terrien, Chase Kosterlitz. They push themselves to
the very limits over long distances in open ocean swells and sprint
through marker buoys in the surf zone, attempting to discover
their own personal limits and find out just how fast they really are.
Followers of a more Zen approach prefer paddling away from the
crowds, using their board as a mobile Yoga mat or personal gym
in the search for physical and spiritual balance. Julie Roach and
Jodelle Fitzwater are a few BIC SUP ambassadors who helped
pioneer this exciting new discipline. Other enthusiasts appreciate
the benefits of compact, portable inflatable boards for sailing
and boating adventures as well as convenient air travel. And of
course there are the wave riders, constantly searching for the
indescribable glide unique to surfing. Surfing on a SUP offers
the advantage, and unique challenge, of remaining upright both
on the waves and off.
Whether you’re a total beginner, top level pro, zen master or
surf seeker, BIC SUP has a full range of boards to suit all skills
and all styles. Best of all, the vast majority of our boards are
built in France, using environmentally-friendly, non-polluting
manufacturing techniques. In the pages that follow you’ll find the

The Award-Winning 10’ CROSS was designed with versatility and stability in mind for
performance in a wide range of flat water conditions and activities. It’s an ideal family board
for riders up to 220lbs. The unique keeled nose design allows the board to track straight
despite its compact size. Design input from the BIC SUP fitness and yoga team helped
us develop key features which make the CROSS ideal for fitness and yoga use. Six deck
attachment points allow you to easily secure bungee cord for storing water bottles, sandals
and other gear as well as accessories such as a camera or cell phone holder. A soft EVA deck
pad comes standard on all CROSS 10’ models and provides excellent traction and comfort.

DURA-TEC construction is legendary for rugged performance at a great price.
The DURA-TEC Original series of paddleboards are some of the lightest weight,

performance of higher priced, and much more fragile, epoxy boards. Suitable for

boards are perfect for rental programs, schools, families and anyone looking for
maximum durability and value with true boardsport performance.

in a wide variety of conditions. Performer paddles are light, durable and designed for
smooth yet powerful propulsion with a clean entry into the water and crisp exit at the
end of the stroke. Whether your Touring, Racing, SUP Surfing or just cruising around
your local lake, Performer paddles are a joy to use.

The ultimate in lightweight performance, optimized flex, LeverLock™ adjustment.
Sizes

Large - 100 square inch blade / 75-90 inch adjustment range*: Excellent power output
for larger paddlers and those with a lower cadence stroke.
LeverLock™ Adjustment SystemWe’ve tested them all and this is the best
adjustment system we’ve found. The feel

with the versatility and convenience
of an adjustable. Featuring an infinite
adjustment range, no clunky adjustment
mechanism to get in the way and no parts
to lose. Made of rugged polycarbonate,
fiberglass and stainless steel for maximum
durability and performance.
Optimized FlexExtensive testing helped us determine the
ideal flex pattern for maximum comfort and
performance. Adding a bit more flex to the
paddle provides positive feedback to the
user and maximizes effective power output
while reducing stress on joints for longer,
more enjoyable paddle sessions.
BIC SUP paddles are designed, tested and built for performance, durability and versatility in a wide range
of conditions. Available in three ranges: PERFORMER, ORIGINAL and TRAVEL.
