- The CI Mid goes left.
The CI Mid is a modern classic design resulting from a fun collaboration with Devon Howard, a southern California surfer that has spent the past two decades riding and refining egg-inspired designs that are in a category of boards many refer to as midlengths.
Inspired by the clean, longer-railed lines drawn by traditional eggs and single-fins, the CI Mid infuses that timeless vibe with the crispness, sensitivity, and freedom made possible by modern features synonymous with Merrick design principles. Boasting a sleek, egg-like template with low entry rocker and foam a tad forward for ease of paddle and effortless trim speed, the CI Mid scoots, squirts and swivels thanks to contemporary features like double-barrel concave, gradually accelerated rocker, and hard, slightly tucked rails through and off the tail.
A reliable all-arounder that flies over the flatter, smaller stuff, the CI Mid really stands apart from other eggs and various midlength designs out there, especially in shoulder-high to nearly double overhead point surf-where surfers are able to lay down flowy, arcing turns with total confidence, speed, and control.
The minimalist logo is out of the Channel Islands Archives-a lam Al put on his boards in the early ’70s-all CI Mids are stocked with high quality, colorful resin craftsmanship (6-4oz. decks with 6oz. bottoms).
As we know, fins can make or break any surfboard. For the CI Mid, we worked closely with SoCal surfer Devon Howard and our friends at True Ames Fins to custom build a 2 + 1 fin set that enhances our new midlength’s high-performance characteristics, as well as proving to be versatile in a wide range of conditions with just a simple adjustment of the center fin.
3.6″ side bites are designed for surfers 160lbs and under
4.0″ side bites are designed for surfers over 160lbs

@@jorgeabiest Thanks CI Mid it is! Cheers from Ventura, CA 🏄🤙
I'm in ..all about the ride
Anyone know the music at 5:20??
Is Devon Howard riding switch or is the video flipped?
Cool Music.
Makes me want one lol
Don't think too much just get it
Ok so I'm an OG been away from the surf scene for awhile. These look just like the boards we road in the 70s?! Same surf style too?
They're 2+1s instead of the singles people would've ridden then, and obviously benefit from modern rail design and general modern shaping expertise... But yeah, the style certainly harks back to the 70s a little, because style, flow and pocket surfing never get old!
We have a new video with Mikey February. Talk about surf style there.
I’m an OG. Nobody claims that status it’s bestowed
Devon! Tune please?
with waves like this any board would hip, most important that a board is the wave
This is true, but old farts still need to get into them which I think is the point.
Is this Australia... because everything is reversed down there below the equator right, I mean left.
Check the new video straight from South Africa with Mikey Feb and the twin pin. Your mind will spin again
AHH, act three, the orange one going in more juicy conditions. Get it now. Looks bit uninspiring in the slow stuff
Is devon riding switch or have you flipped the vid?
I think it's flipped, good eye.
Looks like a left breaking Malibu!

False. Only one of them is real goofy.
Great surfing but pretty effing weak if you have to reverse the original footage. Don't con your audience.

Photosbydavebrown Yo why a thumbs down??? Does it really matter if they flip the footage, it takes nothing away from the surfing or the content guy...
