The CI Mikey’s Shorty from Channel Islands Surfboards marks a powerful return to Mikey February’s high-performance shortboarding roots. Developed in collaboration with Britt Merrick, this model reflects Mikey’s signature style — precision, flow, and adaptability — refined from his early days in South Africa to competing on the WSL Championship Tour. Featuring Mikey’s signature Swirl Hex graphic, the Shorty has quickly become a favorite among elite-level surfers.
In overall feel, the Mikey’s Shorty bridges the gap between the playful versatility of the Two Happy and the razor-sharp responsiveness of the 2.Pro. It offers freedom underfoot while maintaining serious high-performance capability, making it an ideal choice for surfers who demand speed, control, and progressive maneuverability.
Sizing is simple — choose the Shorty as you would your standard high-performance shortboard, and it will slot naturally into your quiver.
