CI MID

Meet the CI Mid, the lovechild of timeless egg-inspired designs and cutting-edge surf tech. It’s like Devon Howard—SoCal’s midlength maestro—took two decades of smooth style and secret board recipes and handed them over to Channel Islands to bake into one deliciously surfable treat. Think “modern classic,” but with a little extra spice.

This sleek midlength takes cues from traditional eggs and single-fins, blending their graceful, rail-hugging lines with the zippy magic Merrick designs are known for. The result? A board that trims like a dream, paddles like a champ, and turns like it’s had one too many espressos. With a low entry rocker and just the right foam up front, the CI Mid lets you paddle in early, glide forever, and look effortlessly cool doing it.

But don’t let the eggy vibes fool you—this board’s got some tricks up its sleeve. Modern features like double-barrel concave, a sneaky bit of accelerated rocker, and slightly tucked, hard rails off the tail mean it’s not just cruising; it’s scooting, squirting, and swiveling through sections like a board that knows how to party.

Where does it shine? Everywhere. From ankle-biter mush to shoulder-high peelers to nearly double-overhead point perfection, the CI Mid thrives. Especially when the waves are serving up enough juice to let you lay down arcing, buttery turns at Mach speed without breaking a sweat.

The Fin Factor: Fins can make or break a board, and for the CI Mid, it’s a "make." Devon Howard worked with CI to cook up a custom 2+1 fin setup that’s as versatile as your favorite pair of boardshorts. Adjust the center fin, and voilà: you're ready to tackle whatever the ocean throws at you.

• 3.6" side bites for surfers under 160lbs (lightweights, rejoice!).
• 4.0" side bites for surfers over 160lbs (or those who had an extra breakfast burrito).

Finished with a minimalist ’70s-inspired logo straight from the CI archives and wrapped in colorful resin craftsmanship (6-4oz deck, 6oz bottom for you board geeks), the CI Mid doesn’t just perform—it looks good doing it.

In short, if you’re ready to unlock the secrets of midlength magic and turn every wave into a soulful canvas of flowy lines and stylish turns, the CI Mid is your golden ticket. Egg on, my friends. 🏄‍♂️🍳
