C-85, I'm the iritating pro Bic guy on all the forums.
Where do you live? Are you still selling that board?
I live in Berkeley Ca. and can drive N or S from LA to Oregon.

Thanks for the info.
Hope you get some waves.
I could stretch for that board, but not for another $80.
Thanks!

Donald, don't jump on the anti Surftech bandwagon too hard or it might hit you in the face....
Bics are made in France, by Frenchmen, and that one is epoxy/styro tech, AceTec technology.
Factory made, yes, but in Europe. Been making Bic windsurfboards since 1981! They also make boards for a couple of other now defunct windsurfer companies.

bics are made from reject pens and lighters,,,,save yourself the embarrasmennt from what real surfers are thinking .....go to a pawn shop and buy a real surfboard for cheap,,,,,that way you might still suck but at least you are on a real surfboard....dont worry youll get better but a bic wont.

Have, why does it bother you so much what other people choose to own and ride?
Some peeps choose kayaks, other's paipo boards, some fish, some twins.
Maybe the Bic surfboard makes YOU look bad when you go surfing, but I have on record at least 3 surfshop owners who were amazed how good a Bic can work in S swell overhead conditions.
Now if I had a "real" surfboard, how much better would I really surf....actually, NO better! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
The Bic surfboard is not the problem, the problem is judgemental people like you who think everyone should live their lives YOUR way.
Surf and own whatever you want, don't listen to this donkey!
