Channel Islands Mikey February Fish - Al Merrick - PU - FCS II - 2 Fin - Twin

Our Feb’s Fish is the latest result of Michael February’s never-ending curiosity for exploring new lines through designs shaped by Britt Merrick. 

Sometimes Mikey’s requests are for original concepts, while others are his new take on a classic design. The latter was the case when he
asked Britt for a traditional fish outline but that it have a contemporary engine (modern bottom contours, rocker, etc.) and finely foiled rails so it could be ridden at the highest performance
levels possible. 

During its R&D revisions and refinement, Febs discovered this new fish comfortably covered a wide range of conditions: from dredging tubes in Mainland Mexico; to high lining with ease at Rincon; to effortlessly getting up on rail and hitting tightly arcing turns with
full commitment and confidence at places like Jeffrey’s Bay and Morocco; to groveling at Emma Wood. 

It is now a staple board in his travel quiver, and is his go-to design when just cruising at home.

For sizing reference on the Febs Fish, Mikey is 6’3 (190cm) and 75 KGs and rides the 5’5 in stock dims.

The Feb’s Fish is available in PU with two different spray color options.
