One Design racing has never been as dynamic as it is today. Youngsters under 17 years of age all race on the Techno 293, as a progression towards the elite level racing on the Olympic board. However, in between these boards there has been a need for a new, efficient and affordable board on which youngsters can continue to race after they reach the age of 17 (the age limit for the Techno 293).

Bic Sport's new Hybrid arose out of this need and has recently been officially recognised by the French Sailing Federation. The Hybrid is designed to be fast in a very wide wind range of 5 to 30 knots, and with its' performances it is now teasing international racing organisations.

And in addition the Bic Sport Hybrid is not only a raceboard for youngsters. It is also and all round and easy-to-use board for leisure sailing and funboarding for windsurfers of all ages and experience levels.

ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE

Under 10 knots of wind
The Hybrid sails like a little raceboard. Thanks to its length and volume distribution, the board glides through the water. The position of the mast foot and the angle of the daggerboard allow options for fine tuning. Pumping is made easy thanks to the boards balance and ease of control.

Over 10 knots of wind
The Hybrid sails more like a Formula board with quick reactions, powerful acceleration and high top end speed. The sailing style is therefore much more short board orientated with easy control a key feature.
