Slater Designs FRK IBOLIC Surfboard - Swallow Tail
Discover the evolution of high-performance shortboarding with the FRK Plus Swallow tail. Crafted and fine-tuned in collaboration with legends like Kelly, Brodi, Betty Lou and a host of other surfing luminaries. This board presents the pinnacle of innovation.
The addition of the swallow tail to the iconic FRK shape gives birth to the FRK Plus Swallow tail. Designed to be ridden slightly shorter than the original FRK with a round tail, it preserves all the exceptional qualities of its predecessor. The swallow tail adds an extra dimension to your surfing experience, offering enhanced turn release and agility, thanks to subtle adjustments in concave and fin placements tailored to the increased surface area and swallow tail.
Surfers at the advanced level and beyond will quickly come to appreciate the FRK Plus Swallow tail for its lightning-fast rail-to- rail transitions, exceptional drive and impeccable release. It's a board that seemingly disappears beneath your feet, allowing you to channel your intentions into the most high-performance manoeuvres possible.

About Ibolic Technology:
Firewire has spent the past year innovating newer, better construction processes for its wide range of boards—which is pretty impressive, since it already led the industry in futuristic tech. The latest option is the Ibolic Construction, which replaces the LFT construction.
Ibolic was designed around the fact that many of Firewire’s more futuristic shapes had pretty complex bottom contours, particularly the vee quad concave bottom used on many of Tomo’s boards. This “performance hull” contour is quite involved and is difficult to glass with a bottom skin, which was the typical process used for the LFT boards.
To address this, Firewire developed the Ibolic construction, which features parabolic high-density foam rails and a foam I-beam down the middle to create the central spine that provides the foundation for a pronounced vee.
This results in a build that is 35 percent stronger than LFT and more strength in the rails (which results in a lively flex, similar to the Helium build), but without sacrificing the LFT’s feel and performance that so many surfers have come to love. The Ibolic still uses a single skin on the deck, providing a strong, durable platform from which to do your best surfing.
About Slater Designs:
“I’m not sure if the perfect board really exists, but I’m enjoying the freedom to collaborate with some of surfing’s most innovative shapers and designers.
It is a quest to create something different in a slightly different way that appeals to where I want to go on a wave. Discovering a new feeling under my feet, drawing a new line, or taking a completely different track on a wave is something I never stop dreaming about.
Now being able share and grow that idea with others is what keeps surfing fun for me.”
-Kelly Slater
