Firewire Surfboards FRK+ Ibolic

Dan Mann's FRK+ is a high-performance shortboard with a squash tail, serving as an enhanced version of the original FRK designed for everyday surf conditions.

The FRK+ is intended to be ridden slightly shorter than the classic FRK round tail. It retains all the advantages of the original FRK while offering increased release through turns due to the squash tail design and subtle modifications to the concaves and fin placements that accommodate the larger surface area of the squash tail compared to the round tail.

Feedback on this board shape highlights its rapid rail-to-rail responsiveness, combined with excellent drive and release. Intermediate and advanced surfers will appreciate how the FRK+ operates seamlessly, allowing for a high-performance expression of their surfing intentions.

Wave Type
As an enhanced version of the FRK, the FRK+ is perfect for everyday waves and serves as an ideal daily driver. While it performs well in smaller surf, it truly shines in waist-high or larger waves. It is recommended for use in 2-6' surf and excels in average to epic conditions.

Board Features
Updated with a squash tail, the FRK+ encompasses all the benefits of its predecessor while providing additional release through turns. The "engine," or back third of the board, offers remarkable drive while still ensuring responsive rail-to-rail transitions. It pairs best with Kelly's KS1 fin template.
