Description
A great update to a winning surfboard, the Slater Designs FRK Swallow in the awesome Ibolic Volcanic construction has landed!
Slater's FRK Swallow model has taken all the lessons learnt from the FRK and FRK+ models and created a brilliant board. Working alongside long-term shaper and collaborator, Dan Mann, this Swallow tail version adds a new chapter to the FRK family.
So what does the swallow tail set up bring to what is an already good board, and why have the bothered doing it you may well ask?? The idea is that surfers from an intermediate level and above will find the FRK Swallow a good board to surf in waves from 3ft and above. Ideal for a daily driver to give you performance in a board that can tackle a wide range of wave conditions. The Swallow tail version packs in a little more volume than the FRK+ version but by allowing you to surf it a little shorter will give a snappier more responsive surf.
Ibolic construction is a leap forward in surfboard manufacturing with the best elements of LFT and Helium combined. This Patent Pending technology is built into the core blank construction to create preloaded structural flex together with structure strength and durability. The FRK+ has Fibre Reinforced I-Beam high density foam stringer down the centre with Parabolic Rail Springers from nose to tail. There are three independent points for flex control and break resistance. I-Beam ensures firmness underfoot and unparalleled strength. The two Parabolic Rail Springers enable even flex and give great recoil through your turns. I-BOLIC Technology is an engineering feat that builds performance into the core of the surfboard there are no external carbon layups or heavy laminations with this cracking tech. What this all means is that get a board that is stronger than a helium board and has the feel of an LFT with even faster recoil, this tech is really nicely weighted too- you'll surfer faster and harder all in the knowledge that the Ibolic tech is Firewire's toughest yet.
