The Channel Islands CI Mid midlength surfboard from Britt & Al Merrick's iconic shaping dynasty is a modern classic design, resulting from a fun collaboration with Devon Howard. Devon Howard is a southern California surfer that has spent the past two decades riding and refining egg-inspired designs that are in a category of surfboards many refer to as midlengths. The minimalist logo is out of the Channel Islands Archives—a laminate that Al Merrick put on his boards in the early '70s.

Inspired by the clean, longer-railed lines drawn by traditional eggs and single-fins, the CI Mid infuses that timeless vibe with the crispness, sensitivity, and freedom made possible by modern surfboard features synonymous with Merrick design principles. Boasting a sleek, egg-like template with low entry rocker and foam a tad forward for ease of paddle and effortless trim speed, the CI Mid scoots, squirts and swivels thanks to contemporary features like double-barrel concave, gradually accelerated rocker, and hard, slightly tucked rails through and off the tail.
A reliable all-arounder that flies over the flatter, smaller stuff, the CI Mid really stands apart from other eggs and various midlength designs out there, especially in shoulder-high to nearly double overhead point surf—where surfers are able to lay down flowy, arcing turns with total confidence, speed, and control.
