Mikey February’s Offbeat Quiver Includes Twins, Mids, Soft Boards and More
Спорт
Michael February is hardly what you’d call a conformist when it comes to style, so it’s no surprise his quiver follows suit. Twinnies, mid-lengths, retro-replicas, even a spongy hunk of foam. In fact, the odd one out amongst his handful of favorites is a standard 6'0" shortboard.
February admits his quiver wasn’t always as diverse. When he was competing on the 'QS and 'CT, he had in rotation pretty much 20 variations of the same shape, but the past few years out of the jersey have given him the space to explore different templates and lines, often with pleasing results.
When asked what he ultimately looks for in a surfboard - any surfboard - February’s answer is straightforward: “Something that is fast and carries speed well. When you have a board that carries speed, it’s always easier. Things flow and the board reacts nicely. It gives you that feeling under your feet that you can do whatever you’re thinking.”
And if he could only ride one shape for the next year?
“It would probably be a twin-fin because I find them super versatile. You can add different setups, like Mark Richards-type fins, where they’re a little more loose and lively. Or bigger keel fins, which are more drivey and can hold in bigger stuff. They’re good in the barrel and really fun for turns. They’re just a good all-round shape that works in most conditions.”
To get a closer look at Mikey's varied quiver, press play in our newest episode of "Quivers" above.

Love his surfing style - power & grace.
that twin pin and his style gave me a buttons vibe, never seen him surf before, love his style, right there in the park with donavon, rasta and machado
Really cool to see a new generation of surfer's giving the early performance boards a look and giving those old shapes new life. You rip Michael keep charging and experimenting cheers
i just listened to some of the songs listed on mikey’s board and they were 🔥🔥🔥

Stylish guy. One of the few it's a real pleasure to watch. Nice guy, he seems too.
The only bummer is knowing he's got more boards in that arsenal to talk about

Where can i buy that Twin pin ? 🔥🔥
Talk about the "FLOW" in surfing; Mike Feburary IS the flow!
this kid reminds me of Buttons Kaluhiokalani, awesome style.
He only has 20 boards or so, in that garage. And a few are logs that he probably never rides. Surprising for him having been such a high profile CT rider only a few years ago.
Where can you get the twin pin, it’s no wherre on CI website
Bushido Brown x Rob Machado = 🔥🔥🔥
Is that a cortina behind the boards?
When/ why did Mikey leave Quiksilver?
Song at 4:50 ?
Best natural style in modern surfing, wish his sponsers would stop pushing him towards the retro boards so much (they are obviously much more sellable to 99% of the surfing population than HP shortboards and I guess he's much more valuable to them as a free surfer to sell gear) although his surfing on them makes me want to get one so I guess its good marketing haha, I really like watching him on a shortboard when he's not trying to emphasise his style which he definitely doesn't need to do!

Finless soft top keeps expectation in the rubbish bin and stoke levels in the elevator!
If the WCT would be rated on style, he would definitely be World Champ!

His accent sounds very Aussie for a South African!!
No quad?
Where the bonzer??
2:55 Mikey: Not the best waves 2ft kind of mushy.
this ripping grom needs to go the route of Donovan and JOB and just free surf with few comps here and there.

The sound of surfboard on bricks gives me anxiety.
That is either a terrible Board Company name on purpose or by accident
Dude has yet to grow into his style. A little more old man strength and a little power will seep into his flow.
