CI MID by Al Merrick

The CI Mid is a modern classic design resulting from a fun collaboration with Devon Howard, a Southern California surfer who has spent the last two decades riding and refining egg-inspired designs that fall into a category of boards many call mid-lengths.

Inspired by the clean, longer lines drawn by traditional eggs and single-fins, the CI Mid infuses that timeless vibe with the freshness, sensitivity, and freedom made possible by modern features synonymous with Merrick’s design principles. Equipped with a sleek, egg-shaped template with low-entry rocker and a bit more volume forward for easy paddling and effortless trim speed, the CI Mid scoots, squirts, and swivels thanks to contemporary features like double-barrel concave, gradually accelerated rocker.

A reliable all-rounder that flies over flatter, weaker stuff, the CI Mid really stands apart from other eggs and various mid-length designs out there, especially in shoulder-high to nearly double overhead surf where surfers are able to lay down fluid, arcing turns with total confidence, speed, and control.

The minimalist logo came out of the Channel Islands archives—a lam Al put on his boards in the early ’70s—all CI Mids are stocked with high quality colored resin (6-4oz decks with 6oz bottoms).

As we know, fins can make or break any surfboard. For the CI Mid, we worked closely with SoCal surfer Devon Howard and our friends at True Ames Fins to custom build a 2 + 1 fin set that enhances the high-performance characteristics of our new midlength, as well as prove versatile in a wide range of conditions with a simple adjustment of the center fin.
