FRK Swallow

Introducing the Firewire FRK Swallow, a cutting-edge surfboard meticulously crafted by renowned designer Dan Mann to unlock unrivaled performance in waves of 5 feet and under. This board is specifically engineered to provide maximum versatility, making it a standout option within the FRK quiver. With a sleek grey finish and multiple size offerings, including the popular 5'6" x 18 1/2" x 2 3/8" which boasts a volume of 25.7 liters, the FRK Swallow is tailored for surfers seeking a high-performance shortboard that adapts seamlessly to various surfing conditions.

One of the key features of the FRK Swallow is its innovative I-Bolic Core technology, which utilizes an I-beam core construction. This design allows for enhanced responsiveness by controlling flex at the rails using high-density foam. The swallow tail design not only enhances maneuverability but also improves volume distribution, specifically between the surfer's stance. This thoughtful engineering results in exceptional speed capability in flat and tricky sections, while maintaining impressive on-rail performance through optimized rocker curves along both the centerline and the rails. Feedback from the Slater Designs team highlights the FRK Swallow's superior feel during down carves and fin releases, setting it apart from its predecessors. It is particularly recommended to be ridden 2 inches shorter than the traditional FRK model, and the ideal fin pairing is the Endorfins KS1 Fin Set for unparalleled performance.

Overall, the Firewire FRK Swallow presents an ideal combination of responsive design, versatility, and cutting-edge technology, making it an essential choice for surfers aiming to elevate their game on the waves. At a sale price of $1,300 AUD, this board represents a solid investment in quality and performance for serious water sports enthusiasts.
