Bic Core 148
The Bic is very powerful, you can - if you want - stand very sporty and racy on the board and the simple-looking fin also takes pressure well and remains spinout-free. In the medium wind range, the Bic is the fastest board in the group together with Starboard. It runs light-footed and free over choppy water and is also the easiest to keep upwind. This makes it the overall performance winner of the group.
The Bic is also strong in the jibe, can be pulled really tight with little effort and glides very well through the turn. Surfers who already have a good hit rate in the power jibe and now want to fine-tune their turns will have a lot of fun here. Two different strap set-ups are available for freeriders (comfortable/sporty), the pads are somewhat sparse and quite hard.
ConclusionThe Bic Core has what it takes to convince even advanced freeriders.
StrengthsSporty, direct riding feel, favourable price, good power jibes.
