Kayaking can be an exhilarating sport pounding rapids, or a quiet, casual activity that you do alone on the lake that your property looks out on. Regardless of what style of kayaking you are into one thing is for sure, Bic has a kayak that’s made just for you. The selection from
Bic is tremendous and offers something for beginners up to experts. Looking for a tandem kayak for you and your significant other? Bic’s got you covered. Looking for a kayak that needs minimal space to store? Bic’s got you covered there too with their great selection of inflatable kayaks. How about a kayak for physical fitness? Yup, Bic’s got something for you there too. I suppose it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering that Bic has earned four, yes I said four, consecutive design awards for their designs by Fristch and Bic Sport.
Fristch and Bic Sport have been highly regarded for their Tri Hull Design (THD ) which is the primary feature of their kayaks. THD provides the most aerodynamic design for optimizing fun, comfort, and stability. The Tri Hull design was created to help kayaks glide through the water more smoothly and effortlessly while maintaining outstanding maneuverability. The THD’s shape features a center section that helps with gliding as well as two hulls which surround it which help stabilize the kayak for optimal comfort and confidence when paddling. The final section of the THD consists of two concave sections in the hull which create a mix of water and air for heightened performance while also creating lift off the water.
Aside from being award winning, BIC kayaks are also environmentally conscious. BIC kayaks are made of Thermoformed Polyethylene, which is an environmentally sound material. Few chemicals are used in the production of their kayaks and when you use it, you’re not emitting any greenhouse gases because kayaking is completely man-powered. Any excess materials that exist during the production of every Bic kayaks is broken down and recycled for use at a later time.
If you’re looking for a comfortable, speedy, and environmentally conscious outdoor activity you cannot go wrong with a kayak from Bic.

Hi, I just bought a Kayak, 12 ft. Old Town VaporXT, and I cant put it on top of the car myself. Is it a strength issue with me or does every woman need help? Are there any tricks to this?
Jo Ann,
Getting kayaks to the roof is an issue for many paddlers; luckily this is a known issue so there are products out there to assist in loading making it easier and possible for you to load your own kayak. These carriers are considered “load assist carriers” and they are very popular.
One great system offered from Thule Racks is their 887XT Slipstream Kayak rack. This rack extends pass the end of the vehicle giving you an area that can support 50% of the kayaks weight, then you simply push the kayak up on the rollers and you have gotten your kayak to the top of the roof with ease.
The Cadillac of load assist carriers is the Thule Hullavator. The Hullavator has a gas strut lifter system that lowers off the top of the car giving you a lower point to set the kayak and then simply sets back in place for transport. The load point becomes roughly waist level making this carrier popular for those with SUV’s which can be difficult to load due to their height.
Please let us know if you have any further questions or comments.
Thanks,
Chris Gorski
