Review Devon Howard Review
The Better Everyday is the evolution of the successful Happy Everyday, one of the most loved and used surfboards after its debut when it placed second in the renowned Stab in the Dark with Taj Burrow. This new version has been optimized by Britt and his team to deliver even greater performance, while maintaining everything that made the Happy Everyday an exceptional surfboard for surfers looking for high performance and versatility.
Thanks to the improvements implemented, the Better Everyday is now smoother in transitions and more stable in slightly bigger waves. The characteristic hip of the surfboard has been relaxed, allowing for more fluidity in turns and transitions, while the tail swallow offers more grip and stability without sacrificing the loose feel that made the Happy Everyday famous.
The increased rocker in the tail and increased flip make the surfboard more agile coming off the lip, offering a positive feel in turns. In addition, the relaxed hip allows for more responsive bottom turns, making this surfboard an ideal choice for a variety of waves.
The Better Everyday comes with a five-bin configuration from fins, allowing you to choose between quad or thruster configuration as you prefer. Originally designed as a quad, the surfboard is perfectly complemented by a special set of fins created by Britt, which combines a more upright front fins with a steeper rear fins, offering an excellent combination of speed and control in any section of the wave.
This versatile design sits between a high performance shortboard, like the Two Happy or CI 2.Pro, and a step down/groveler like the Rocket Wide or Happy Everyday, allowing for superior performance in most of the waves we surf every day.
In summary: The CI Better Everyday is the ideal surfboard for surfers looking for versatility, speed and control, no matter the conditions. surfboard is fast, reactive and ready to take your surfing to the next level!
