AL MERRICK CI MID

Al Merrick Surfboard – CI Mid (Channel Islands)

Al Merrick’s CI Mid is the gold standard of the modern mid-length. Designed in close collaboration with surfer Devon Howard, this shape draws inspiration from the classic lines of egg boards whilst incorporating all the performance and modernity of Channel Islands shortboards. It offers exceptionally smooth glide, ultra-efficient paddling and a rare versatility that redefines the joy of everyday surfing.

It’s the ideal board for surfers seeking maximum comfort, style and versatility, without sacrificing radical turn performance.

Key Features of the CI Mid

• Exceptional Paddling and Wave Entry: Its generous volume and balanced outline allow you to glide effortlessly across the water, catch the wave early and navigate soft sections with ease.

• Control from the 2+1 Setup: Configured with a centre fin and two stabilisers (Side Bites), it offers perfect grip, a stable line and reassuring control, even at high speed.

• Smooth and Precise Transitions: Thanks to its tapered rails and carefully crafted double concave, the board transitions from one rail to the other with astonishing fluidity, allowing you to carve clean, sweeping turns.

• A True Ocean Chameleon: Unlike many mid-length boards limited to small waves, it adapts equally well to ordinary beach breaks and long, consistently rolling point breaks.
