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).
