Kevin's thoughts? While both shapes are great performance shortboards, the FRK+ likes waves with a bit more energy and a bit more push, while the FRK Swallow is best in the weakest, junkiest conditions. The FRK Swallow might also be the best on rail out of all shapes in the Slater Designs range.

Pair the FRK+ & FRK Swallow with our Slater Designs Endorfins KS1 for the best experience.
