Happy Everyday

Owners rating:

The Happy Everyday, created by Britt Merrick, is an evolution of the Two Happy. Designed for a wide range of conditions, this board features a curvier outline with shortened rails, lower/moderate entry rocker for increased paddle power and moderate exit rocker for maneuverability. The Happy Everyday has a single concave under the front foot with a double concave through the fins for lift and ease of rail-to-rail transitions. Ideal for surfers seeking high performance in everyday waves, it sits perfectly between a high-performance shortboard and a groveler.

Created by Britt Merrick from what was initially the Two Happy performance shortboard model, our new Happy Everyday fills a need in every surfer’s quiver: the everyday shortboard.

Coming off the heels of CI’s Pro Team loving the Two Happy, Britt wanted to draft off its performance attributes but modify it to address the everyday conditions most of us come up against. The kind of conditions where you want to rip and aren’t feeling the groveler vibes, and at the same time maybe not quite the epic stuff you would use your high performance shortboard for. To achieve this goal, Britt shortened the rail to create a curvier outline, especially through the tail area. For both the entry and exit rockers he lowered them to increase paddle and planing speeds to cover a broader range of conditions. The single concave under the front foot acts as a gas pedal and generous double concave through the fins provides rail-to-rail ease and plenty of lift in the small stuff.

The CI Pro Team has been loving it, and the design was further validated in the recent Stab in the Dark that featured Taj Burrow in West Oz—not only for the way it looked under his feet but the fact he chose to paddle out on as the wildcard for WSL’s Rottnest Islands event.

The Happy Everyday is a great all-around design that sits right between your high performance shortboard (Two Happy) and a step down/groveler (Rocket Wide).

In short, a board designed for high performance surfing on the majority of waves the majority of us surf every day, the Happy Everyday.
