Das Shape:
Das Channel Islands Happy Everyday ist das neueste Mitglied der Happy Familie. Dabei erinnert es stark an CI’s Klassiker, den OG Flyer. Shaper Britt Merrick und Surfer Dane Reynolds haben mit dem Two Happy das aktuelle High Performance Aushängeschild der CI Modellpalette geschaffen. Leider gestatten die Wellen es jedoch nicht immer, ein verhältnismäßig schmales Board mit großzügigem Rocker zu surfen. Hier setzt das Happy Everyday an. Ziel bei der Entwicklung des Shapes war es die Performance Charakteristika des Two Happy aufzugreifen, aber in alltäglichen Surf mehr Nutzerfreundlichkeit zu bieten. Der Rocker in Nose und Tail wurde reduziert und das Single to Double Concave tiefer geshaped, um mehr Auftrieb zu erzeugen und somit besser den Speed durch flache Sections zu halten. Die Railline wurde verkürzt, damit das Board besser in enge Pockets kleinerer Wellen passt. Im Vergleich zum Two Happy ist außerdem der Tailblock breiter ausgefallen und dafür die Hip stärker ausgeprägt, um schnelle Richtungswechsel auch bei niedrigeren Geschwindigkeiten zu erlauben und mehr Tail Release in Top Turns zu ermöglichen. Dass dieses Rezept funktioniert, wurde bereits von Taj Burrow in Stab’s 2021er Stab in the Dark Board Test bestätigt.

SurferInnen und Bedingungen:
Während das Two Happy nur von SurferInnen, die langjährige Erfahrung und eine ausgefeilte Technik mitbringen, vernünftig gesurft werden kann, ist das Happy Everyday deutlich einfacher zu bewegen. Wir empfehlen es als performance-orientierten Daily Driver. Seine Agilität prädestiniert das Board dabei für europäische Beach- und Reefbreaks von ungefähr hüft- bis etwas überkopfhoch.

Alternativen:
Wer primär Pointbreaks oder Wellen mit offenen Schultern surft, sollte einen Blick auf das Lost Sub Driver, Pyzel Pyzalien II oder Channel Islands OG Flyer werfen - etwas weniger Tailrocker und mehr Railline helfen dann bei kraftvollen, weiten Carves. SurferInnen denen das Happy Everyday noch zu anspruchsvoll erscheint oder zu wenig Wellenausbeute verspricht, sind mit dem Firewire Dominator II, dem Lost Puddle Jumper Pro, Pyzel Phantom oder dem Channel Islands Rocket Wide besser aufgestellt.

Bauweise:
Spine-Tek - Channel Islands Version eines leichten EPS/Epoxy Surfboards und wurde von Technologiepartner Shapers Australia mitentwickelt und lizenziert. Ein leichter EPS Kern wird mit Glasfasern und Epoxidharz laminiert. Der Clou bei Spine-Tek ist ein in den Blank eingelassener, ca. 3mm dicker Stab aus einem Glasfaser/Harz Gemisch, der als Stringer fungiert und dessen Steifigkeit je nach Boardlänge variiert. Dieser verleiht dem Surfboard ein sehr dynamisches Flex Verhalten und verspricht im Vergleich zu Polyester Boards mit Holzstringern eine deutlich bessere Flex Memory, sprich weniger Veränderung der Fahreigenschaft durch Materialermüdung über die Lebensdauer des Boards. In der Summe ergibt das ein Surfboard, das sehr leicht ist und mit dem man relativ einfach Geschwindigkeit generieren kann - insbesondere in suboptimalen Surf Bedingungen eine gute Wahl. Ein netter Bonus ist dass Spine-Tek im Vergleich zu klassischen Polyester Boards etwas robuster ist.

Great Knee Support
Color: Blue
The 1-inch thickness provides exceptional support and cushioning, making it ideal for a variety of exercises beyond just yoga. The high-density foam used in this mat is a game-changer. It not only cushions my joints but also retains its shape remarkably well. The carrying strap is a convenient addition, allowing for easy transport wherever I go. Plus, the mat is easy to clean, which is a huge plus after sweaty workout sessions. While the extra thickness might not suit everyone's preferences, especially if you prefer a thinner mat for certain poses, I find it perfect for my needs. It strikes an excellent balance between comfort and stability, providing the right amount of cushioning without compromising stability during balancing poses. Overall, the BalanceFrom All Purpose Yoga Mat will become an indispensable part of my fitness routine. Its durability, support, and easy maintenance make it a top choice for anyone seeking a reliable exercise mat for various workouts.

Perfect For My Routine
Color: Black
I am retired military, so exercise has always been a part of my daily routine. Since the pandemic I have had to adjust, which is hard because the gym has the equipment I have become accustomed to. I didn’t realize how different it was working out there as when I started to work out at home on my hard wood floors (no carpet anywhere). I thought it would be easy but the military exercise mat is entirely too thin and was making my tailbone hurt tremendously, so I had to give up my sit-ups and some other ab exercises. This kind of threw a wrench into my routine and I could start feeling my motivation go away. I decided to take a look on Amazon for a thicker mat. I should have done this long ago because I found this one I’m writing about. It’s the shape of any typical exercise Matt except it’s 1” thick. It appears to be made of a type of foam (not bothering to look at the description right now). When I pulled it out I thought I was going to sink in making sit-ups even harder but it’s firm but not hard. I like it better than what is at the gym. Durability will be hard to determine until I’ve had it a while but I’m definitely excited to start back up on my exercises. I recommend this mat if you have hard wood floors, bad back, bad knees, etc. I thought I read some negative reviews about mats this thick because of yoga and balance but I beg to differ. If balancing is part of your exercise routine, then a mat which makes balance harder is exactly what you want. Exercise is supposed to be challenging and you need to work harder to see a difference. If that isn’t your goal or if balance is a medical issue, this may not be the right mat for you. Something you may not think about is I have chronic foot pain and this mat makes it less painful for me to stand or jump. For me, this mat is perfect.

Extra Cushioning for Comfort
Color: Red
This mat is thick and cushy - even with meniscus tears in both knees I can comfortably exercise. And I love the color.

Nice, thick & comfy but came w/ punctures in foam; seller provided discount
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
I love the mat. It's thick and very comfortable on my knees. However, when I opened it for the first time at my yoga class, there were several cuts or punctures in the foam. I attempted to return it and the seller offered me a 10% refund due to the damage. I am concerned that the mat may deteriorate due to the damage it came with, but I need it and have no idea if the cuts will matter over time. So I accepted the $3 refund and am keeping the mat.

Best mat purchase yet

I love this mat. I wish they had it in larger sizes. The only one I have truly non slip. Extremely comfortable especially on my back. Great price.
