AL MERRICK HAPPY TRAVELER
New
The Al Merrick Happy Traveller is the ultimate step-up surfboard, specially designed by Channel Islands to excel when the waves get serious, powerful and hollow. A direct evolution of the Two Happy model, it is designed for surfers who travel or who are looking for absolute control in challenging sessions. Its centreline and thickness have been slightly moved forward to maximise paddling power and facilitate early wave entries. Featuring a tapered round pin tail and lowered rails, it offers exceptional grip in the tube, a smooth ride at high speed and ultra-smooth transitions from rail to rail. The ultimate weapon for your surf trips, available at Waïmea in Anglet and on waimea.fr.
The Happy Traveller, as its name suggests, is the ideal board for a surf trip – a versatile board that meets the needs of surfers looking to travel with just one board.
It is classified as a ‘step-up’ by Channel Islands, as it is capable of handling extremely challenging conditions, thanks to the design work carried out on the underside of the board.
Britt Merrick has drawn on all his expertise to generate and harness the speed offered by the wave.
The general outline and rocker are based on the original Happy, but adapted for bigger waves by tightening the concave, lengthening the tail to create a round pin shape – thereby achieving a longer rail line – and moving the side fins closer to the rails for increased grip.
If the swell drops off, the Happy Traveller’s relatively flat rocker and volume under the chest still come into their own for catching waves that lack power, proving that this step-up board is Chanel Island’s most versatile to date.
