FRK+, FRK Swallow, FRK in France
FRKs head to France. 🥖 🇫🇷
Scroll below for a look thus far into the Slater Designs crew's trip to France for the Quiksilver Festival in Seignosse, Cabreton, Hossegor. Unlike last year's tube fest, this year's conditions seem to be ideal for the all-new FRK Swallow in I-Bolic Technology.
Next-generation Hawaiian Jackson Dorian is seen riding an FRK+, British Boardmasters Champion Lukas Skinner on an FRK Swallow, former World Tour competitor Michel Bourez with his FRK Swallow, big wave legend Shane Dorian with his FRK Swallow, and 11x World Champion Kelly Slater with an original FRK.
 
Jackson Dorian prefers the "pop" of the FRK+, often commenting on how well this Dan Mann design creates speed across fat sections and likes to release in the lip for progressive maneuvers like this.
Recently 18 years old, Jackson Dorian has already set foot on French sand more times than most surfers do in a lifetime.
 European up-and-comer Lukas Skinner isn't far from home above the lip in France, a short flight from his home in Cornwall, United Kingdom.Â
On a recent winning streak with swallow tails beneath his feet, Boardmasters Champion Lukas Skinner has been making the most of freesurfs in France.
On the heels of many tubes at home in French Polynesia, Michel Bourez surveys the outline of an uncharacteristically grovel-oriented shape for his otherwise step-up quiver of round tails.
With a long history riding round tails designed by Dan Mann, Shane Dorian welcomes a newly designed swallow tail into his board bag for this travel season.
Having recently asserted that he switches up the size of the KS1s he's riding depending on the size of waves he's surfing, Kelly sets up for this session in France with a size Medium set in the Thruster configuration.
