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 other 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 Feb’s Fish, Mikey is 6’3 and 165 pounds and rides the 5’5 in stock dims. Available in ECT.
