Mikey's Shorty
Channel Islands Mikey February Shorty Surfboard
The Channel Islands Mikey February Shorty is a refined high performance surfboard built for surfers chasing speed, control, and clean rail-to-rail flow in quality waves. Designed in collaboration with Britt Merrick, this model brings Mikey’s smooth, precise style into a modern shortboard that feels fast, responsive, and dialled for Australian conditions-from punchy beach breaks to long, running points.
Sitting right between the Two Happy and the 2.Pro, Mikey's Shorty blends user-friendly drive with high-performance sharpness. The staged rocker creates a generous sweet spot under your feet, allowing both front- and back-foot surfers to generate speed and stay composed through critical sections. A subtle hip through the tail tightens turns in the pocket, while the Swirl Hex construction delivers lightweight strength across a range of sizes and colourways. This is a board that rewards clean surfing but doesn’t punish you when conditions aren’t perfect.
Key Features
- High performance shortboard outline designed for speed, control, and flow
- Staged rocker profile creating balanced drive and a large sweet spot
- Subtle hip near the fins for tighter turns and sharper pocket response
- Single to double concave for lift, speed, and smooth rail-to-rail transitions
- Foiled rails for added sensitivity and responsiveness
- Swirl Hex construction delivering lightweight durability
Specs and Best Conditions
- Best suited to medium to overhead waves with push and shape
- Excels in punchy beach breaks, points, and clean reef setups
- Built for surfers wanting performance without losing flow
- Ideal as your everyday high performance shortboard
