07 BIC SPORT NOVA 240D

Nova 240 D - Back to the basics: Longboard light wind fun!!

The new Nova 240D is designed for those looking for a more traditional style longboard with excellent performance and glide in winds less than Force 3.

With a length of over 3 metres, and a relatively narrow width, it is the ideal board for those who will be learning and then windsurfing in predominately light winds. Closely based on the design of the BIC Hybrid, the BIC Nova 240D offers similar performances. In less than 10 knots of wind it sails like a little raceboard, easily setting on the rail and cruising upwind with the daggerboard down. In over 10 knots of wind and the daggerboard up, the board offers more short board orientated performance: quick reactions, powerful acceleration and exciting speed. However, in contrast to the BIC Hybrid, the BIC Nova 240 has fittings that make it more suitable for learning and more affordable for all budgets: EVA foam covered deck, fixed mast track, durable daggerboard, moderate length fin and centrally mounted footstraps. The BIC Nova 240D is the board for longboard light wind fun!!
