Item # bctech1608zz-bic-windsurfers
The Bic Techno 160 has been developed for windsurfers of all skill levels looking for a board which planes early, is high performance, easy to ride and good fun. As a high volume board, it is also ideal for those looking for their first short board and first steps into the world of performance windsurfing.
The 160 litres of volume is evenly distributed giving the board balance and stability, making up-hauling and light wind sailing easy. This volume also makes the board easy to ride, giving the rider plenty of time to get into the footstraps and get planing. A pronounced V in the front hull section gives the board good tracking ability and help it stay comfortably upwind, and a relatively narrow width and rounded rails make learning to gybe easy! When in sub-planing conditions or pumping onto the plane, the decent nose area of the board help it glide through the water. The Techno 160 is a reasonably proportioned package for the new rider looking for superior performance. It is the ultimate universal funboard, a lightweight board for progression in your riding and sailing in light winds, as lively as it is responsive.
