Mikey February — 7'1" Tri Plane Hull Single (Midlength) Watch Mikey February enjoy the glide of our new Tri Plane Hull Single. This fun, user-friendly midlength incorporates a fresh take on a Al Merrick’s Tri Plane Hull bottom design he refined and built during the ’70s and ’80s—a Greenough inspired planning hull that generates tremendous “lift” for added speed and ease of control. Working with surfer Devon Howard once again (see CI Mid), we set out to build a better egg-style, single-fin—a genre of surfboard that can often look cool and groovy but tend to ride slow and sticky, sometimes lacking pizazz or drive through the turns. By incorporating a Tri Plane Hull bottom with a Al’s classic egg outline, and combined with our modern style rail and rocker profiles, we landed on a rather spicy midlength design that has a surprising amount of trim speed and drive through its turn in small surf—making this a reliable long-railed performer in conditions ranging from subpar to above average. The Tri Plane Hull Single comes with beautiful color lamination options that are sealed with a matte finish gloss coat and outfitted with a minimalistic logo treatment which pays homage to some of Al’s early surfboard creations. Look for a Tri Plane Hull Single at your local CI dealer, or start building your custom today here: https://cisurfboards.com/products/tph-single-fin-1 To compliment this beautiful midlength, Devon also worked on a custom built single-fin that is available in three sizes: 8”, 8.5” and 9”. The “CI Single Fin” has a sleek, rather upright template, which helps the board pivot and turn on dime. And its conservative rake profile provides a nice flow on down the line point breaks. Our general sizing guideline goes as follows: 8” for 6’7” & under; 8.5” for 6’8” to 7’5”; 9” 7’6 & over. The CI Single-Fin can be found at your local surf shop or here: https://cisurfboards.com/products/ci-single-fin Mikey is riding a 7'1 stock model with 21 3/8" width and 2 13/16" thick. For reference Mikey is 6'3 and 160 lbs. (Kilos 72.7). See film’s credits for Stock Dimensions and Fin recommendations.

Jordy & Mikey Explore Everything SA Has to Offer | Shaping Jordy When the world turned upside-down in 2020, lifelong friends Jordy Smith and Mikey February took advantage of being home for the first full winter in a long time to hang out, hit the road and chase the South African winter. The boys started their journey up in Durban, where Smith grew up. From there they made their way down the East Coast, stopping at some known (and other much-lesser-known) spots along the way, connecting with various surfers as they went. Then, via the famed right-hand point break of Jeffreys Bay – with which Smith has such a close connection – and the Southern Cape (known as the Eden District), before ending up in the clear, icy barrels of Cape Town. An epic journey of more than 1,600km. "I don't think it could have come at a better time," Smith says. "On tour, your mindset stays in that competitive zone the entire year. This year, with everything that's happened, it's allowed me to break away from that and just really relax. That's been really refreshing.” While the underlying theme of the trip and the subsequent film is about the coast and people who shaped Smith's career, it's also very much about the alternative surfboard shapes February chooses to ride. For Smith, fully focused on performance the entire year, it was an eye-opener into a different angle on how to approach waves and it got him even more amped to surf. Get the popcorn going and dive in now for the second installment of "Shaping Jordy."
