CHANNEL ISLANDS Mikey February Shorty

Mikey February’s Shorty marks a return to his high-performance shortboarding roots. From his early amateur days in South Africa to his time on the WSL Championship Tour, Mikey’s foundation has always been precision surfing. Developed with Britt Merrick, this model carries his signature Swirl Hex and has become a go-to for many of our WSL tour surfers.

In feel, The Shorty sits between the Two Happy’s user-friendliness and the 2.Pro’s high performance sharpness—emphasizing the flow and freedom of both. You’ll want to size this model as you would a normal shortboard.The Shorty’s staged rocker creates balanced drive and control, suiting both front- and back-footed with a large sweet spot. A subtle hip near the fins tightens turns and sharpens response in the pocket. Its high-performance outline delivers clean speed and release without losing flow, while foiled rails maintain sensitivity. Beneath, a single to-double concave runs from front foot through the fins for lift, control, and seamless rail-to-railtransitions.

Refined power with range, The Shorty channels Mikey’s signature style from lined-up points to punchy beach breaks.
