Party Platter: A minuscule wave marauder.

Perpetually plagued with particularly petite waves?

Dreary small surf doldrums got you down?
Lake-like ankle slappers all across town?

No need for a log.
Soft tops bog.
And mids don’t fit,
If you really wanna rip.

Have no fear.
The Party Platter is here,
DJ Mayhem’s latest release,
Designed to bring you small wave peace.

Radical rhythms and direct drive groove,
Spinning maximum RPMs,
To get you on the move.

High fidelity hot wax,
Fresh off the press,
Elevate and eliminate,
Your small wave stress.

The Party Platter,
Ultra short and extra wide,
For your flat day fret,
Motivation to get out and glide,
You can confidently bet.

With notes of The Bean Bag,
In the key of The Couch Potato,
And tuned to The Plank,
This latest “little disc,”
Is worth a trip to your bank.

Low rocker and parallel lines,
Amplify speed, drive, and glide,
Flat deck and full rails,
For a stable, silky smooth ride.

Conservative bottom curves,
Concave and vee,
Lend lift and rail engagement,
Have you walking on water,
With ease.

The Party Platter:
Fresh wax, hot off the press,
A direct drive, shortwave amplifier,
Eliminating your small wave stress.

The CI Mid is a modern classic design resulting from a fun collaboration with Devon Howard, a southern California surfer that has spent the past two decades riding and refining egg-inspired designs that are in a category of boards many refer to as midlengths.

Inspired by the clean, longer-railed lines drawn by traditional eggs and single-fins, the CI Mid infuses that timeless vibe with the crispness, sensitivity, and freedom made possible by modern features synonymous with Merrick design principles. Boasting a sleek, egg-like template with low entry rocker and foam a tad forward for ease of paddle and effortless trim speed, the CI Mid scoots, squirts and swivels thanks to contemporary features like double-barrel concave, gradually accelerated rocker, and hard, slightly tucked rails through and off the tail.

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

The minimalist logo is 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, colorful resin craftsmanship (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 our new midlength’s high-performance characteristics, as well as proving to be versatile in a wide range of conditions with just a simple adjustment of the center fin.

Rob Machado on the Seaside, “just evolving the Go Fish to something new, really. The Go Fish goes fast and feels skatey and loose and I love it, and riding it for a couple years made me want to feel more high performance – more carves, tighter turns. So the Seaside is about refining… less area in the tail, narrowing the tips of the swallow, creating more curve and narrowing the nose. All elements for ripping while the Go Fish stays cruisey and fun.”

The Seaside is quad only, why?

“I decided that if i was going to make a quad I would make a quad that’s strictly a quad … Design the concaves and bottom contours around that. I actually redesigned my entire concave setup that I’ve been using on the Moonbeam and Go Fish, and did it with the quad setup in mind so that it all works together.”

Why name this shape after your home break, Seaside?

“Naming surfboards might be the hardest thing to do on the planet [laughing]. It’s just the perfect little stick when I surf my home spot, Seaside.”
