Happy

Name: Happy
Brand: Channel Islands

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.
