Tested in some of the most exciting and powerful surf spots, it’s a reliable choice as the only board to take on your travels.
Based on the Channel Island Happy, the Happy Traveler is tuned to meet the demands of bigger waves, ensuring you have the right tool when needed. In powerful surf, controlling and harnessing speed is crucial, and this surfboard offers just that. With a reduced concave between the fins and a straighter outline in the back third, along with the placement of the leading fin closer to the rail, the Traveler enhances grip and control, allowing you to surf with confidence in quality conditions.
This design not only connects you to the wave face but also liberates your surfing experience, allowing you to feel the energy of the waves without overthinking. The Happy Traveler maximizes your paddling power, helping you catch waves more easily thanks to its increased thickness in the front and rails, along with a fuller outline in the front third of the board. These features contribute to exceptional performance in the barrel, making the board a reliable option, even when the swell drops.
