Buying Bic Sports 6'7 Surfboard

Over All Rating Reviews :

The Bic 6'7" is an excellent beginner's board. I learned how to surf about a month and a half ago on an 8'6" used custom board. I ended up beating up the board pretty badly by pearling it and having it hit random things while I was trying to fit in my sedan. So, for about the three weeks I had it, I became much more adept at repairing dings on the board than actually riding it. I grew pretty frustrated by the unwieldiness of the large board as well as the high-maintenance (which I wasn't used to as a beginner), so I decided to get a Bic surfboard. Like what others have said, this board floats very well and is fairly wide and voluminous for a shortboard. Weak paddlers and heavier riders should benefit from the extra float. However, the board does not have so much float that you cannot duckdive. I am a relatively weak 5'11" 160lb person, but I have no trouble duckdiving the board. The width of the board also provides greater stability when trying to stand up, compared to a "typical" shortboard of the same length.

The greatest benefit of the Bic surfboards are that they are extremely durable. I have dropped the board onto a curb from a height of 5ft on its rail and there is a small indentation. No leaks or anything close to a break in the plastic. I have also surfed it onto some pretty sharp rocks without any cracks or leaks. There are only long, shallow surface scratches.

The only negative from the board is that it is somewhat slow and hard to turn, when compared to the few custom shortboards I've ridden. So, it seems somewhere between a mini-mal and a shortboard in terms of performance. However, that might have to do with my own poor surfing ability than the board itself.

Regardless, I plan to use this board forever--for slow breaking waves, for surfing treacherous conditions for the first time, and as a future teaching tool.
