Happy Everyday ThrusterCreated by Britt Merrick from what was initially the Two Happy performance shortboard model, CI's 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,
They initially thought that the more rockered-out version would complement the power and shape of the waves in Hawaii
The fin set combines more upright front fins and raked back fins that give the board the zing and hold to go to the next level
but with a reduced overall rocker to better suit the surfing style and waves expected for 2023
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)
