Mikey February Guts His Fish And Shows You What’s Inside

The South African slitherer explains his new CI board model.

Empty tissue boxes, rags scattered across the floor, and a room full of satisfied middle-aged men. This is, of course, the aftermath of a watch party for Dave Rastovich’s EAST — drool running down our chins as we sat there, hypnotised, listening to someone dissect the finer points of an alt-performance surfboard.

It’s clear that we enjoy watching people with far more wisdom and skill than us jabber on about things we’ll never fully understand. Most of hardly know the surfboards we own, let alone explain why we like them. We need someone higher up the ladder to step in — someone capable of running the kind of experiments that actually get to the heart of the matter.

In the vid above, Mikey Feb — a man of similar appeal to Rasta — breaks down the Feb’s Fish model from CI. He talks fins, tail tweaks, and gives a breakdown of the modern engine powering his old-school design.

For an upgrade in wisdom, watch above. To peruse CI’s selection of Feb’s Fishes, click here. For a full interview with the South African style magnate, click here
