CI Surf Channel Islands Al Merrick Big Happy Future 3 Fin - Midlength

Created by Britt Merrick, derived from the Two Happy performance shortboard, our new Happy Everyday fills a need in every surfer's quiver: the daily shortboard. After the rave reviews from CI's Pro Team on the Two Happy, Britt wanted to retain its performance qualities but adapt the board to the everyday surf conditions most of us face. Those conditions where you want to rip hard, but don't feel the vibe of a groveler, and also don't have the epic conditions for your high-performance shortboard. To achieve this, Britt shortened the rails for a curvier outline, especially through the tail area. The entry and exit rockers have been lowered for more paddle and planing speed in a wide range of conditions. The single concave under the front foot acts as a gas pedal, and the generous double concave through the fins makes it easier to transition from rail to rail and provides plenty of lift in smaller waves.

The CI Pro Team loves it, and the design was further confirmed during the recent Stab in the Dark with Taj Burrow in West Oz—not only by how it looked under his feet, but also because he chose to use it as a wildcard for the WSL Rottnest Islands event.

The Happy Everyday is an all-around design that perfectly positions itself between your high-performance shortboard (Two Happy) and a groveler (Rocket Wide).

In short, a board designed for high-performance surfing on most waves that most of us surf daily, the Happy Everyday.
