- 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: cisurfboards.c...
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: cisurfboards.c...
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).

So refreshing to see someone in tune with the wave and actually “ surfing “ instead of airs, spins and other circus tricks .
Couldn’t agree more
Yup agree. Now THIS is surfing
@Erik Burgerhagen If that's how you see it, great work, but that's not how I see it, opinions have a cool ability to be different
@Erik Burgerhagen this has to be the worst analysis of what riding a CI MID feels like 😂😂😂 what are you on about
Mikey and Torren Martyn take this trophy home for me
why is this so much better than professional surfing, something about it just feels so right
This is the type of surfing I live for
This is an advertisement and it’s brilliant. It’s brilliant because it gave me something in return and I thoroughly enjoyed watching
Definitely looks like the right surfer on the right board for those waves!
Beautiful…the essence of surfing
The waves the water color…great surfing and great soundtrack for crying out loud.
Buttons Kaluhiokalani back from the dead! Mikey is a bit lanky looking on a standard shortboard but he's such a stylish surfer on these types of boards, it's cool to watch.
did anybody notice how his style so stylish the way he hands jive and so styly stlishlishly styler. good style thAT GUY SO STYLISH
Reminds me of Buttons back in the 70's and early 80's
Mikeys amazing, he can ride anything.
Love the single fin board riding,soooo smoooth,ya Mikey
Love his style - so easy to watch.
Wow... !!! My best friend, It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
So pure and easy. Amazing style
Beautiful surfing, how refreshing!
I don't know if it was intentional, but I like the little throwback to Morning of the Earth at the very start.
Way cool. Smooth. Perfect music.
Random Surf Humor (of mine):
What I like about this world is that there's something for everyone.
The lazy surfers - malibu, cocoa beach, makaha
The hyper high performance surfers - Saquarema, Rocky point, Haleiwa, Spanny Haus
The point and shoot surfers - Kirra, Skeleton Bay, Mundaka, Restaurants, hatteras (lighthouse)
And the ones that just can't handle what the bastards above did to us: Pipeline, Teahupoo, Nazare, Jaws, Mavericks, Cortes Banks, Waimea Bay, Puerto
should market those boards in FL - seem like a pretty idealic florida wave shape.
Absolutely love this promo video he’s surfs so smooth, I have a 7’10” Tuff lite water hog. Great board great shape I don’t really think it’s that tough super lite though . This mid length models very tempting to buy one for me
Yoh, he really surfs beautifully...
Smooth Operator 😎
simply beautiful
Very smooth!
Easy smoooth .
Epic
God on 1 fin.
and?
STEEZE
I would get get back into surfing, I m a little rusty. That's how.
That's my kind of surfing
amazing curves , he is floating
This is what I call surfing, not the fip-flap 360, 720 air whatever circus
What’s a tri plane?
Plane as in surface
Tri-3
3 surfaces in contact with the water. I think it’s supposed to channel the water through and ramp up speed. I have a hoglet with this design and have found it’s impossible to surf quick like a short board but when I slow down and take bigger longer pumps and so on it’s a great board. Kinda forced you to surf old school
Is a thruster
Single Fin
This is a beautiful flowing dance, but there is no need to ride a 7'1" that conservatively. My shortest board is a 7' 0" and it can get it on.
