The CI Happy Everyday from Channel Islands Surfboards is the ultimate everyday performance shortboard. Positioned perfectly between the high-performance Two Happy and the step-down Rocket Wide, this board is designed for the majority of waves most surfers ride day in and day out.
Built for speed, flow, and responsiveness, the Happy Everyday delivers high-performance capability in real-world conditions. It’s the board you reach for when you want to push your surfing but the waves aren’t quite epic.
Designed by Britt Merrick
Created by master shaper Britt Merrick, the Happy Everyday evolved from the performance DNA of the Two Happy model. After seeing the CI Pro Team excel on that design, Britt refined the outline and rocker to better suit everyday surf conditions — creating the ideal daily-driver shortboard.
Performance Features
-
Curvier Outline: Shortened rail line with added curve through the tail for tighter, more responsive turns.
-
Lowered Entry & Exit Rocker: Improves paddle power and planing speed, expanding versatility across a wider range of conditions.
-
Single to Double Concave: A single concave under the front foot acts as a “gas pedal,” while a generous double concave through the fins enhances lift and smooth rail-to-rail transitions.
-
Versatile Wave Range: Ideal for waist-high to slightly overhead surf when you want performance without riding a groveler.
Pro-Tested Performance
The Happy Everyday gained major recognition during Stab in the Dark, where Taj Burrow tested the board in demanding West Australian conditions. He later selected it as his wildcard board for the WSL Rottnest Islands event — proving its capability at the highest level.
Skill Level
Intermediate to Advanced Surfers. If you're ready to take the next step and want a board that blends everyday usability with true high-performance design, the CI Happy Everyday is a must-have addition to your quiver.
