What's up

Hear Britt Merrick break down the board he submitted for Stab in the Dark X—and the model many viewers were asking about. If you weren’t following the Premium Subscriber series on Stab, the board was the Mikey February Shorty. Here, Britt explains the design, intent, and why it performed the way it did. This sleek thruster marks a return to Mikey February’s high-performance shortboard roots. From his early amateur days in South Africa to his time on the WSL Championship Tour, Mikey’s foundation has always been precision surfing. Developed with Britt, the Shorty carries Mikey’s signature Swirl Hex and has become a trusted option for several CT surfers. In feel, Mikey’s Shorty sits between the user-friendly nature of the Two Happy and the sharper edge of the 2.Pro — blending flow and freedom with refined control. Size it as you would your standard high-performance shortboard. The staged rocker creates balanced drive and control, suiting both front- and back-footed surfers with a generous sweet spot. A subtle hip near the fins tightens turns and quickens response in the pocket. The high-performance outline delivers clean speed and release without sacrificing flow, while foiled rails maintain sensitivity. Underneath, a single-to-double concave runs from the front foot through the fins, providing lift, control, and seamless rail-to-rail transitions. Refined power with real range, Mikey’s Shorty channels his signature style — from lined-up points to punchy beach breaks.

Mikey February's BEST Waves from EAST Our EAST series with Mike February spanned across 2 continents, 7 months, and 17 surfboards. All of that was eventually whittled down to 5 episodes with 223 minutes of airtime. That's a lot of surfing. With this video, we decided to condense this all down to its purest form. 11 minutes of the very best surfing. 14 boards. 1 star atop them all. Enjoy the best of Mikey Feb in EAST, and if you want to watch the whole thing (or find out who won) , shoot on over to Stab Premium: https://stabmag.com/get-stab-premium/
