Happy

Owners rating:

The Happy, designed by Britt Merrick, is a high-performance shortboard that offers surfers the freedom to explore and perform. With a low/moderate entry rocker and forward volume, it paddles well, quickly gains speed, and excels in the tube. The refined rails and thinned-out tail ensure responsiveness and control through critical maneuvers. The board features a single concave under the front foot, transitioning to a double concave between the fins and flat off the tail, providing a perfect blend of speed and control. Ridden by pros like Zeke Lau and Lakey Peterson, the Happy is a top choice for serious surfers.

The Happy is a new performance shortboard model built to give surfers the freedom to easily go wherever their mind takes them. Low entry rocker and strategically placed forward volume allow the board to paddle well, get up to speed quickly, and perform extremely well in the tube. To harness all that speed, Happy’s refined rails and thinned out tail make for a highly responsive board that is also extremely forgiving through critical maneuvers and it holds like a mutha – no matter how hard you turn. Single concave under the front foot, transitioning into double between the fins, and flat off the tail give the perfect combination of speed and control. Over the past two years Britt refined and tweaked the design thanks to a steady stream of Team feedback by the likes of Zeke Lau, Lakey Peterson, Mikey February and Connor O’Leary—who have all since been riding it on the pro tour.
