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!!
The new Nova 210D and 170D
are designed primarily for the purpose of learning to windsurf. With
plenty of volume and wide stable platforms, these boards are ideal for
those who have never windsurfed before.
Both boards have retractable
daggerboards that provide security and make getting back upwind easy.
With their short lengths they are very easy to maneuver in the tacks
and gybes and turn on the spot! Their short length also means that once
the wind gets up, you will get a taste for planing, the funboard feel,
and an exciting ride. A full EVA deck covers both boards providing
excellent non-skid and an effective bumper gives the nose the
protection it needs. Multiple footstrap positions mean the boards can
be adjusted to suit all skill levels. The Nova 170D suits beginner and
intermediate level riders who want a board that is easy to get on the
plane.
Nova 165 : Express progress
The
new Nova 165 is aiming to become THE board on which the whole family
can learn without having the bother of excess board width. Its
reasonable width (82cm), comfortable, well-spread volume (165 litres)
and light stern loading the bow section means you can ride in light
wind without wallowing. Suitable for all rider sizes. The Nova 165 has
the same excellent planing as the Techno 2/160 from which it was
developed but with fittings that make it affordable for all budgets :
EVA foam covered deck, moderate length fin and more centrally mounted
footstraps allowing you to learn funboarding the easy way. If you fit a
bigger fin you�ll have more of the performance of the Techno 2/160, so
you can learn and progress on the same board.
Nova 120: Nova for the kids
With
just 120 litres of volume it�s a modern looking shape with fittings to
match. The little Nova is aimed at kids who�d like to learn
windsurfing, but on a board properly adapted to their size. The shape
is derived from the one for the Techno 2/118, a board recognised for
its performance, accessibility and manoeuvrability. The integral foot
pad ensures ride comfort and shock absorption. The centre daggerboard
helps you make those first runs and the more centred footstrap
positions enable you to learn funboard the easy way. And once you�ve
mastered the basics, adults and children alike will be able to use it
as a highly manoeuvrable, high performance funboard.
