Single Sessions Ep. 9: FRK+ vs. FRK Swallow with Kevin Schulz Watch Kevin Schulz in Single Sessions Episode 9 comparing two shortboards designed by Dan Mann with Kelly Slater, built in I-Bolic Technology: a stock 5'9" FRK+ and a stock 5'8" FRK Swallow. This episode was filmed at Lower Trestles, in San Clemente, CA. Kevin's thoughts? While both shapes are great performance shortboards, the FRK+ likes waves with a bit more energy and a bit more push, while the FRK Swallow is best in the weakest, junkiest conditions. The FRK Swallow might also be the best on rail out of all shapes in the Slater Designs range. Pair the FRK+ & FRK Swallow with our Slater Designs Endorfins KS1 for the best experience. Single Sessions is your opportunity to eaves drop on aspirational performances in relatable waves – the world’s best surfers in everyday conditions riding Firewire and Slater Designs shapes built in Helium and I-Bolic Technology.

FRK Swallow at Surf Ranch | Slater Designs Watch the Firewire Surfboards and Slater Designs crew ride the all-new FRK Swallow in I-Bolic Technology designed by Dan Mann & Kelly Slater at Surf Ranch in Lemoore in August 2024. Dan Mann, Sebastian Williams, Taylor Jensen and Kevin Schulz are all riding stock models in this video, and for some, it was their first time on the shape. The FRK Swallow is the newest addition to the FRK quiver, designed for average conditions. This shape was crafted to unlock performance in waves 5' and under, Dan Mann designed the FRK Swallow to be more versatile in its performance characteristics than any other FRK shape that came before it.

By specifically perfecting the curve at the board's center when compared with the curve at the rails, the FRK Swallow excels at creating speed in flat, sticky sections, without sacrificing on-rail performance. Amongst the Slater Designs team, the unanimous feedback has been that the FRK Swallow feels better during downcarves and in fin releases than any other Slater Designs shape. Designed to be surfed 2" shorter than the FRK and 1" shorter than the FRK+. Recommended to pair with our Endorfins KS1 Fin Set for best performance.

The Flat Earth by Akila Aipa and Kelly Slater - Wave Type, Sizing and Fin Setups with Kevin Schulz Finesse and flow in waves chest to head high, sized at your normal shortboard volume or a couple liters more. Experiment with a twin + trailer or twin without trailer, because this shape surfs on a spectrum from loose and slidey in smaller sizes with two twin fins, to grippy and drivey in larger sizes with a trailer added.
