SPEARFISH is a surf film that documents Mikey February testing and finetuning a new signature model he designed with Channel Islands Surfboards, dubbed the Feb’s Fish.
Watch him draw fast, beautiful, precise lines and gauging turns on this twin fin fish in Mexico, Morocco, California, Maldives, and Indonesia. Spearfish was created by Mikey’s new video platform “Spearhead Unlimited,” with primary filming captured by Ian Thurtell, editing by Sam Smith and an original musical score by the Albert Bof trio.

The 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. And of course it could grovel at the places like Emma Wood. It is now a staple board in his travel quiver and is his go-to design when just cruising at home.
