Ian reviews the Channel Islands Happy Everyday:
www.boardshop.co.uk/brands/ch...
Introducing the Channel Islands Happy Everyday surfboard in CI's latest Spine-Tek technology. The Happy Everyday continues on from the huge success of the Happy and Two Happy models, this latest version is a user friendly shortboard with an everyday surfing feel. This board will work when conditions aren't perfect in waves from waist and up, its not just for seasoned rippers though size it right and this board could be the one you move to as you progress.
The Happy Everyday is aimed at all surfing abilities, it features a shortened rail to create a curvier outline to help take care of windy or choppy conditions, and the lowered entry and exit rockers really help with paddling and speed generation. A single concave under the front foot acts as an accelerator, and the generous double concave through the fins provides easy rail-to-rail release and plenty of the ability to get the board going in the smaller stuff.
The Happy Everyday is a great all-around design that sits right between the high performance shortboard, the Two Happy and the step down/groveler the Rocket Wide. In short, a board designed for high performance surfing on the majority of waves the majority of us surf every day.
Spine-Tek technology is the result of a Channel Islands and Shapers Australia collaboration with the aim to further enhance the flex response of modern surfboards. Spine-Tek features a precision engineered spine/stringer made from a unique blend of fibreglass and resin which replaces the original wooden stringer. This revolutionary tech is based on the principles of elastic energy; the board flexes under pressure and then rapidly returns to its original rocker-line. The speed of this response is what gives your surfboard that 'electric', zingy feel which remains for the life of the board. Watch the video below for a full technology breakdown from Britt Merrick.
Don't forget, if the stock dims don't work for you, you can order a customised version selecting your exact dims, fin set up and fin system, check out our customizer service at Boardshop right now. All you need to do is punch in the details and pay a £100 deposit with the balance due when we ship your board roughly 8-12 weeks later.
As a premier Channel Islands stockist, we pride ourselves on giving what we think is good solid advice without any of the over-eager sales driven BS often encountered by our customers elsewhere.
We're happy to consider taking your old or unwanted board as a trade in against a surfboard, so If you have any questions about this we'd be delighted to answer them and advise on any potential board choices or enquiries you might have, just drop us an email to info@boardshop.co.uk or call us on 0044 (0) 1243 674250

Keep it up been watching you for years!
I got this board 2 months ago, in spinetek. I use it in 1-3ft Sydney surf In my opinion (at least by Australia standards) its a performamce groveller. Its an absolute rocket, quick off the mark, and really easy to manoeuvre quickly. Maybe my favourite small wave board ever If its 4ft and over and the wave has too much curve, it will catch easily and not set a rail as well as a performance board The spinetek gives it spark and heaps of spring. If you're a decent surfer surfing shit waves, I would absolutely recommend

Im looking to pull the triger on one of these in PU. Im on the Central Coast so was looking for it to use in the 2-4ft (maybe 5ft) range. Do you still enjoy yours?

Thank you for your comment. Depending on what you want will change, but we love the AM fins with this board.
How would you rate this for myself, haven't surfed for 2 years but dieing to get back in the water. I'm 5.10 90kg. I have been looking at the 5.10 channel island pod mod torq but unsure what board to go for at the moment. Any advice would be awesome cheers 👌

Thanks! One more quick question, is this board a good paddler in windy conditions?
Which one you would choose. Pyzel Phantom or Happy Everyday? For me both looks quite the same

Both are great! If you want an epoxy model, go Spine Tek Happy Everyday!
How would you describe the rails? boxy? low profile with a domed deck? Thank you!
@BoardshopUK

The rails are a medium profile. They start medium and move into a good low rail profile.
Happy Everyday or Uber Driver? Seem to fit a similar sort of application, can't decide which one to go for!

Very similar. Hard to pick as both are right on top of each other. For some reason I would pick the Channel Islands. We love the Happy Everyday, but both are very good and we have had customers give us amazing reviews on the Lost.
Hi Just wondering hot this board compares to the CI #4 Grovellor? thanks

Was wondering same thing. #4 one of my fav boards.
I’m 5’10 185lbs what size should I get this board in? I’ve been surfing the Lost hydra at 5’10 39 litres for the last year and looking for a bit more performance. Thanks! Love your reviews!

Its similar in ways. It is a touch more user friendly and a slightly wider tail. Both are amazing!
i demo this board at HB on a small, choppy day. It paddled well and i didnt find i too lose. It was stable but the waves were weak and didnt have a lot of sections. catching waves fealt easy it went on small ones and some shoulders. I got the 5'9 29.40litters. I dont know if should have gone smaller. I am 5'5 and 155 lbs.

Stoked you love it. Size wise, you can go a little smaller with the Spine Tek but only a touch, I think you got this correct.
Hi. How is the durability of the Spineteks? CIs can be a bit fragile so wondering how this tech compares to their PUs and / or other brand’s epoxies.

The Spine Tek is great! Stronger than PU with more performance. We love it.

@@BoardshopUK that’s great to hear. Should I reduce volume since Spinetek is so light or go same volume as PU boards?
This or Sub Driver 2.0 light speed eps? For an intermediate who want grow up, one quiver daily driver, 1-4ft Waves range) Thanks in advance!✌🏼

whilst both boards offer great performance in small - larger waves, the CI happy everyday is your more user friendly performance based board, whereas the subdriver 2.0 is more high performance based.
OG Flyer or Happy Everyday?

Sampler is faster down the line as it is pretty flat, but this turns better in the pocket due to the extra rocker
