SPEARFISH - Mikey Feb’s Fish

SPEARFISH is a surf film that documents Mikey February testing and finetuning a new signature model he designed with Channel Islands Surfboards, dubbed the Feb’s Fish. Watch him draw fast, beautiful, precise lines and gauging turns on this twin fin fish in Mexico, Morocco, California, Maldives, and Indonesia.
Spearfish was created by Mikey’s new video platform “Spearhead Unlimited,” with primary filming captured by Ian Thurtell, editing by Sam Smith and an original musical score by the Albert Bof trio.

The 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 other 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. And of course it could grovel at the places like Emma Wood. It is now a staple board in his travel quiver and is his go-to design when just cruising at home.
The Feb's Fish is available stock in PU with two color options and in White Spine-Tek.

I can’t be the only one that thinks this man is one of the most stylish surfers on the planet. It literally looks like he came out of the womb with a surfboard attached to his feet. It feels like I get into a flow state just watching him. 😮🏄🏾‍♂️

[@krisalive728]

… no you’re not alone. He sure has a unique, throw-back style. I see Buttons’ influences on his forehand….

I still can’t believe I surfed a heat with Mikey feb in HB!! Such an amazing experience!! He’s the man🙌🏿

[@mocean365]

Nice one! Loved how there was lots of backside surfing and beach break too which shows the capabilities of a good fish!

[@cisurfboards]

He makes a good case for it being very doable

[@shaunmccormack6980]

Where does does this whole backside thing come from? Surely okes who haven’t surfed fish enough? Watch his back foot - always moving to the rails. Here’s Rasta’s take… kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3nMfHiCorunpM0si=Dc7f-mhMAtAu36sp

[@mocean365]

@@shaunmccormack6980 it’s pretty wildly known that some fishes are tricky backside or in variable conditions. Even big shapers and incredible surfers say that. They do things to try and remedy it Britt, Biolos, Salas, and many others I’ve heard speak to it. And yes Rasta is a master, loved that piece on Stab. All about that foot placement and rails.

[@valeriiaermolina9279]

OMG so beautiful ❤ Mikey February my favorite surfer 🏄‍♂️

[@Profabdesigns]

I really watching this young man and the graceful style and energy he exudes. I’m 64 and his clean and smooth lines remind me of the late 70-80’s. Not to say he doesn’t carve snapbacks, floaters and off the lips. This man has a visually appealing style. Really enjoyed this. 🎉

Great picks!

[@mimsim2481]

Unbelievable athleticism to surf so stylishly. Love the movement forward in the tubes and shreds in average sized surf. Interesting seeing this surfed on the larger waves. Looks like it needs to be coaxed through the face at that size. Used to seeing longer rails on that stuff. Enjoyed the edit where it’s the muted sound of each wave, no music 👍

[@batman50ish]

Looks like a really impressive board w/ down the line speed, maneuverability and turn shape. But we'll never know for sure... until you show us some footage with a mere mortal on it. :)

[@fakeplasticdreams]

I know right? I love Mikey but come on show us an average Joe on this 😅

Seems like the the best surfers today are not on the WCT circuit. Mr. February, Dave Rastovich and Torren Martyn are all indie surfers, doing their own thing on non-standard surf craft.

[@MrRobinski]

So he likes it better than the twin pin? Be good to see him Asher and Ratsta and any other twin fin guru surfing a session together and push each other and compare styles.

[@cisurfboards]

He hasn't said that he likes it better, but it's definitely got a different vibe and flow that he's digging. He still rides the Twin Pin a lot.

what do you guys think for that board on small onshore crappy waves?

[@PHILIPKELLY-e7z]

shredding.....but man that board looks kinda hard to surf.....esp backside

[@cisurfboards]

Fish have limitations in some respects but open you up to other areas of a wave you wouldn't consider approaching on a performance shortboard. Just another reason to add some variety to your quiver. Enjoy.

[@civilsocietyprivateinteres1711]

Love Mikey no hate towards him but it's funny how Merrick just hops on trends, thinks it's so inventive like a techie who came up with Uber but doesn't realize we had that it was called a taxi, same thing, if you want a real fish head to San Diego and blindly pick any of their legendary shapers. Or where the came from

[@cisurfboards]

This board was 100% driven by Mikey's love for the fish design. No claim of ownership was ever made by him or CI, and all the respect in the world toward Lis and the SD crew that grew up riding and building their own versions. Mikey saw an older fish we made that was laying around factory and a few versions later he landed on this one. We have had many different fish designs over the decades. Thanks for chiming in.
