Firewire FRK I-Bolic Swallow Tail Surfboard - White

Firewire FRK I-Bolic Swallow Tail Surfboard in White

Introducing the latest evolution in the FRK series: the FRK Swallow. Designed by Dan Mann to excel in waves 5 feet and under, this shape offers unmatched versatility compared to its FRK predecessors. The standout swallowtail design is paired with optimized volume distribution beneath the surfer's stance, while refined rocker curves—both along the centerline and rails—enhance the board's performance. 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.
