He essentially asked for a design that would fall between his TJ Pro and TJ Everyday models. Dan's response was a unique blend of shortboard-inspired concaves and a longboard outline, paired with the same fin placements Taylor prefers in all his boards.

This precise tuning allows the FRK Swallow to generate speed effortlessly through flat, sluggish sections while maintaining superior on-rail control. Feedback from the Slater Designs team highlights its exceptional handling during down carves and fin releases, outperforming any previous model. Designed to be ridden 2 inches shorter than the FRK and 1 inch shorter than the FRK+, the FRK Swallow pairs perfectly with the Endorfins KS1 Fin Set for peak performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwallow Tail Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Enhances versatility, offering improved speed generation and maneuverability in smaller waves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eI-Bolic Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – Lightweight, durable, and highly responsive for optimal performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimized Volume Distribution\u003c\/strong\u003e – Concentrated between the surfer's stance for better control and balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefined Rocker Curves\u003c\/strong\u003e – Perfectly tuned centerline and rail curves for smooth transitions and speed in flat sections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Performance Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e – Designed for waves 5 feet and under, making it ideal for everyday conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproved On-Rail Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e – Maintains control and drive during turns and carves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Fin Release\u003c\/strong\u003e – Excels in fin release maneuvers for advanced surfing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShorter Length Recommendation\u003c\/strong\u003e – Designed to be surfed 2 inches shorter than the FRK and 1 inch shorter than the FRK+.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Fin Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e – Best paired with the Endorfins KS1 Fin Set for optimal performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Wave Range\u003c\/strong\u003e – Performs exceptionally well in flat and sticky sections without compromising control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlater Designs Team Feedback\u003c\/strong\u003e – Praised for its ability to handle downcarves and provide a smooth ride.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleek Aesthetic\u003c\/strong\u003e – Modern design with performance-driven details tailored for intermediate to advanced surfers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Firewire Surfboards","offers":[{"title":"5ft 6","offer_id":55065720127814,"sku":"24231CON","price":729.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"5ft 7","offer_id":55065720160582,"sku":"24232CON","price":729.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"5ft 8","offer_id":55065720193350,"sku":"24233CON","price":729.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5ft 9","offer_id":55065720226118,"sku":"24234CON","price":729.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"5ft 10","offer_id":55065720258886,"sku":"24235CON","price":729.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5ft 11","offer_id":55065720291654,"sku":"24236CON","price":729.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6ft 0","offer_id":55065720324422,"sku":"24237CON","price":729.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6ft 1","offer_id":55065720357190,"sku":"24238CON","price":729.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"6ft 2","offer_id":55065720389958,"sku":"24239CON","price":729.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"6ft 4","offer_id":55065720422726,"sku":"24240CON","price":729.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2675\/4630\/files\/screenshot_2025-01-17_104938.jpg?v=1754649249"},{"product_id":"firewire-sweet-potato-helium-surfboard-white","title":"Firewire Sweet Potato Helium Surfboard - White","description":"\u003ch2\u003eFirewire Sweet Potato Helium Surfboard in White\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThink small-wave groveler: fast, fun, and built for effortless takeoffs and buttery floaters.

This is the board you‚'ll want to keep in your trunk at all times The updated Sweet Potato features a refined swallowtail design, the latest evolution of Mannkine's groundbreaking small-wave board.

The signature deep double-barrel concave effectively \"splits\" the board when on edge, making it feel significantly narrower during turns.
