Owners Rating:

The Firewire FRK+ created by Dan Mann is a classic squash tail high-performance shortboard, designed as an enhanced version of the original FRK for everyday conditions. This model is meant to be ridden slightly shorter, offering quick rail-to-rail responsiveness and excellent drive and release through turns. The squash tail and minor adjustments to the concaves and fin placements provide a touch more release. Ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers, the FRK+ excels in 2-6ft surf, thriving in waist-high to bigger waves, and is best paired with Kelly’s KS1 fin template.
