Cheapest Bic Sports 6'7 Surfboard

Over All Rating Reviews :

I can see that all other reviewers have never ridden this board before writing their review. They just assume this must be a beginner's board for this kind of price. The truth is, once you actually ride it, you will find this is a great board.

First, there is one reviewer said that this board has too much float and you could not duck dive with it. I bet he never rides this board, or he is very light weight. I weight 175lb and I found this board sinks into the water all the time. Duck dive is not a problem at all.

Other reviewers said this board is only for kook. The reality is no matter what board you use, if you dare to compete with them for waves, you are a kook. They just don't want you to get in the water to compete with them for waves. They want you to pay lots of money for a custom board and get frustrated so you can quit surfing as soon as possible. The truth is, if you don't look closely at the board (in 5 ft), you can not tell it is not a custom board. In the water, it just performs as good as a custom board. I guss many of the other reviewers are surfboard shapers or surf shop owners. They want to make more money from you.

Now, let me tell you why I think this board is great.
I have another exopy surfboard. If you did enough study, you would know the epoxy board supposed to be durable. Well, it is not! The other day I and another two guys were surfing on a big wave toward the shore. After we dropped into the water, the next two big waves drove our boards to the rocks along the shore. All three board (two epoxy one fiber glass) were seriously damaged. If you ask around, you will find this kind of things happen a lot. The glass on the surfboard is very fragile! It break easily when hits a rock.

What is good for this BIC board is that it really durable!! It is made by some kind of plastic. The material feel like the plastic pipe in your house but the surface is smooth to cut through the wave. When it hits to a rock, it just get a very small mark. It will not break. It is much more flexible than glass on epoxy or fiber glass board so it won't break that easily. During the big day, you don't have to worry that much about your surfboard. You can focus more on your own safety rather than the safety of your board.

Another great thing for this board is the price. I got this board from Green Room Surf. They have very good prices for BIC surfboards. I picked it up from their store in Newport Beach to save the shipping. Talk to Greg. His service is really good and he won't push you to buy a more expensive surfboard like other surf shop.

If I need to buy another surfboard again, I will buy BIC surfboard. It is cheap and maintenance free. You can ask other surfers how much money they have spent to fix their surfboard and you will appreciate the meaning of "maintenance free".

Overall, I give this surfboard "five stars". It has the same performance as a fiber glass board without the maintenance problem. And the price is good!

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.
