THD - Tri Hull Design : designed for fun
The unique THD shape provides the optimum in speed, comfort and stability for Bic
Sport Kayaks. The result of over 20 years of Bic Sport watercraft design and innovation,
the THD shape has been developed to provide improved gliding and stability while
maintaining manoeuvrability. Inspired from current trimaran designs, the THD shape
features a central section (1) for increased gliding, two outside hull sections (2)
to stabilize the kayak and two intermediate concaves (3) to create lift and an optimal mix
of water and air for heightened performance. On the Ouassou, the design is revised to
feature two concaves for increased gliding and lift.
Construction
TST - Twin Sheet Technology :
exclusive construction technique
High quality finish
Light weight
Strong
Twin sheet Technology creates a product that is lighter and stronger than
rotomoulded products. These qualities, coupled with our UV resistant polyethylene,
give Bic Sport kayaks exceptional durability.
Durable and rigid:
With more than 20 years experience in the design and manufacturing of water sports
equipment, Bic Sport has used its vast knowledge to make Bic Sport Kayaks fast, comfortable
and stable. The hulls of the Bilbao and Tobago have clean fluid lines despite their compact size.
These characteristics give the kayaks excellent gliding and stability qualities.

The spirit of fun kayaking !
The Ouassou is designed as a versatile, fun kayak with a wide range of
use. With its excellent glide, control and manoeuverability, the Ouassou
is ideal for beach fun. Also, the stern handles let you hang on to the
stern and swim and also allow easy access on board. The Ouassou also
handles surf and waves comfortably. The ‘spatula’ shaped hull is derived
from surf longboards and rodeo kayaks. It’s quick and responsive.
The slight keel and lateral rail design provide directional stability and
excellent tracking. Also, the Ouassou’s knee-strap system allows you to
secure your body to the cockpit when you are looking for greater control.
Its compact form and light weight make this a kayak that is easy to
manoeuver, transport and store.

Fast cruising
With its narrow, water-cutting bow section and clean hull shape, the Scapa is a boat
that is designed for speed. The look matches the feel in every way but still retains the
excellent stability and added safety and comfort you expect from a BIC ‘Sit on Top’.
The Scapa is a new generation «hybrid» kayak and features a unique cockpit closure
system which keeps you dry and warm during off-season or rough-water paddling
sessions, but is easily removed for warmer, quieter paddling. With excellent speed, the
Scapa is a true sport boat designed and built for fast cruising and physical conditioning.
What’s more, it’s an excellent boat for learning sea kayaking. Even in difficult sea
conditions, the Scapa holds its course thanks to its superb glide and reassuring stability.
The molded baggage storage area behind the cockpit allows you to load up with diving
tanks, as well as fishing or hunting equipment.

Convertible hard-deck cover
3 season concept
The unique Bic Convertible
Hard-Deck System is a concept
from the future that is here today.
Designed to work on both the Bic
Scapa and Scapa Lite-Tech, the
Convertible Hard-Deck Cover
can transform the Scapa from
a sit-on-top designed kayak,
to a protected «sit-in» kayak in
a matter of minutes, with just
seven mounting screws.
The Scapa with the Convertible
Hard-Deck Cover gives you the
best of both kayaking worlds:
the sun and fun of sit-on-top
kayaking, with the extended
paddling season available with
sit-inside kayaking. This hybrid
concept also provides new
favorable features. With the
Convertible Hard Deck in place,
the sealed Scapa hull will not
only provide you with positive
flotation, but it also allows
water out through the scuppers,
reducing the hassle and need
for a pump. Add the Neoprene
Spray Skirt and extend your
paddling days further than any
conventional sit-on-top kayak.
Kayak06_BookA5_Test15.indd 14
Summer
Scapa Sit-on-top =
a self-bailing, open deck kayak to enjoy the sun,
suited to all levels.
Autumn / Spring
Scapa Sit-on-top + Scapa Deck Cover =
a self-bailing, open deck that keeps the paddler
drier and warmer, extends the season.
Winter
Scapa Sit-on-top + Scapa Deck Cover + Spray Skirt =
a self-bailing sit-on-top with the ability to keep the
paddler totally dry and warm for early and late
season paddling sessions.

Yakka concept
The Yakka is innovative in concept and in design. Apart from its great performance, the rigid hull / soft deck
concept gives it plenty of character and it will quickly become the perfect partner for your water adventures.
The Yakka is high performance
The rigid hull is derived from the Bic Sport kayak trimaran (THD) design
assuring excellent glide and stability.
The Yakka is easy to store
Folded, the Yakka is only 1.50m x 76cm and fits into the car
as easily as it fits into the garage, loft or cupboard.
The Yakka is pratical to use
Set up and pack down of the Yakka are very simple and can be done in a few minutes.
A high quality pump is supplied with the boat.
The Yakka is safe
Buoyancy and stability are already provided by the rigid hull
and are completed by the inflatable section above it.
The Yakka is ergonomic
The seat, mounted on the rigid hull, assures a good paddling position.
Adding an extension seat gives it the same paddle comfort as top of the range kayaks.
Cloth cover
Attachment rope
Inflatable bladder
The Yakka is tough
The inflatable bladder is protected by a hard wearing PVC sheath with
a high quality finish. The two rigid parts are made from thermoformed
polyethylene, like our other Bic Sport Kayaks.

The first semi rigid kayak
The Yakka was designed for those with limited storage space for their kayak. The principle is similar to other semi rigid, folding boats:
it can be folded and stored in a small space. On the water, the Yakka is a high performance kayak that glides along on its rigid hull and
provides a paddling experience equal to that of standard rigid-form kayaks.
The Yakka can be set up in minutes: just unfold the hull sections, secure the center support and inflate the sides. For pack-down,
simply deflate the sides and fold the hull closed. Once folded, its impact-resistant hull measures only 1.50m (59”) x 76cm (30”) and the
inflatable bladders are protected by the durable and smooth PVC materials.
The Yakka is an innovative concept and design that makes paddling accessible and attractive to a wide range of consumers.

Optional: paddle, lifevest, backrest, drink bottle
Equipment: Integrated foam-cushioned seat / Integrated foot braces / Integrated transport roller / 2 scuppers
