Channel Island's Description

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.

To compliment this fish design, we built an all-new template called the Britt Fish Fin (aka BFF). The BFF has a nicely balanced outline that sits right between our BMT and AMK templates, and provides a stable, drivey fin that offers smooth transitions in turns.

For sizing reference on the Febs Fish, Mikey is 6’3 and 165 pound and rides the 5’5 in stock dims.
