The Company

BIC Sport, the world leader for water and board sports

Formed in 1979, BIC Sport is 100% dedicated to board and water sports. Based in Brittany, France, just a few kilometres from the sea, its origins are in the development of windsurfing. With a powerful company image created on the water all over the world, in both competition and leisure sailing, BIC Sport has since diversified into other leading board and water sports, Surf, Kayak, Kitesurf and children's dinghies/sailboards.

BIC Sport's emphasis on the importance of design is reflected in their roster of designers. BIC Sport has won seven Design Stars awarded by the "Observeur du Design" organisation for its kayaks and for the O'pen BIC.
