Launched in 2015 and lauded for their impressive performance, smooth feel on the water and eye-catching graphics, the Tracer series has been updated to improve speed and glide as well as comfort and stability. The flat section under foot has been extended forward towards the nose to improve stability while a lower profile piercing nose increases efficiency by smoothly parting the water on entry. A squared off ‘chisel’ shaped tail reduces drag and the standing area was revised to more efficiently shed water. Deck attachment points make it easy to secure extra gear for extended trips. A new brushed white Carbon-Innegra finish throughout the board looks great, reduces weight and improves durability while protecting the board from overheating in the sun.

The construction has received particular attention, to create light weight, super­-stiff boards delivering optimum glide, whilst retaining their resistance to knocks and bumps. The brand new BIC SUP Tracer is built around a low density (15kg/m3) EPS foam core. The layers are then built up around the core, with a hybrid weave of Innegra and 152gr/m2 Carbon fibre along the whole length of the board. The white Innegra fibre gives the boards their knock­ resistance whilst the Carbon guarantees their rigidity.

The whole structure is then wrapped in 180gr/m2 fiberglass, giving the boards a high quality finish that is also extra ­resistant to small knocks and scratches. An additional fiberglass reinforcement on the concave section of the deck helps prevent any risk of collapse under the feet. The board is also layered with a transparent Epoxy UV­filter resin. The finish is completed by an all-­over coating of transparent polyurethane varnish containing a UV filter, protecting the decoration and logos.
