[@wolf-yw9wk]

kelly on more board is great

[@lavapix]

Seeing I surf nothing like Kelly I'd go with the 5'10". Been enjoying my FRK as a daily board in all conditions for over a year now.

[@IndexFossilchannel]

Great surfing from Kelly 🤯

[@TravisVarga]

'single fin' lol - board looks fun. something special about swallow tails..they pivot in the pocket best i reckon

[@johnnyhadji7841]

Holly Man.... Still surfing as good as anybody else

[@shaunthomas9160]

Amazing board amazing surfer. Can someone educate me please. Kelly said (in this vid) he likes to use Medium fins for bigger surf and larger fins in smaller what is the reasoning behind that please? Thoughts ... i would have thought in bigger powerful waves you would choose larger fins for the hold, im missing something

[@coldseamonster]

Love how the board achieves 29 liters and is under 6’0 and less than 19 wide. That’s pretty sick.

[@firewiresurfboards]

During the FRK Swallow design process, Dan Mann spent a lot of his time working on volume distribution, specifically the way thickness thins out towards the rails, tail and nose, and also the way that width narrows from the center of the plan shape towards the tail and nose. He's on a mission to make performance surfing accessible to all, and an important part of that is ensuring that foam, float and buoyancy are paired with rocker, concave and fin configurations, creating a blend of performance and forgiveness.

Kelly ripping at diamond head is amazing

[@adriancalma3508]

Never thought he’d be at DH ever!

[@bob33932]

Ripping. Back on tour with that board

[@sergioalvarez376]

Seems awesome!this volume in sexy dims...actual Kelly’s weight?

[@turbowtime9611]

Damn dude ride like that in a competition and start winning again. That was fucking sick surfing.

[@Lost_Cat_Tails]

Soo Good.

[@isuckatsurfing]

I can't believe I'm riding 3 liters less than Kelly. But maybe I should go up; he looks like he could go back on tour on that thing.

[@1984tzahi]

you are legend ✌

[@alikajohnson9250]

Got one that will float 230? 🤙🏽

[@rowanmurless929]

Ripping!!

[@adammay9076]

Plz don't fully etire, you're the main reason I watch the comps, at least continue to do chopes & pipe each year. I'd be surprised if you didn't win both of those contests at least one more time in the next 4-5 years. Fully attainable. You're still the best in heavy barrels. Getting 9+ point rides at those spots, shame cloudies has shifted onto the final 5, wish you could get a wildcard for that. Should be a special Slater wildcard for cloudbreak final 5. The top 5 should be able to defend there spots right? So why not put Kelly in the mix on finals day at big cloudbreak, if he can beat all 5, he gets the title, would be so sick. In saying that though, overall, stoked for cloudbreak as final venue, far better than trestles. Just wish the king could be in the finals day

[@atomdog6425]

What happened to Kelly's face!!! It looks like a board hit his face on the left side with its beak!!!

[@jacktitlow7817]

Let's see him riding a board off the rack. Not a handshaped board that nobody can buy

[@carlislebonzano8018]

Lmao its so funny how no one know that dems and glassing is different thatn what the shops sell.

[@carlislebonzano8018]

I've heard that the pros dont even ride epoxy there polys painted to look epoxy

[@foxgd88]

@@carlislebonzano8018not really, you can tell if they don’t say lft or ibolic under the board name though. Like Jackson Dorian sometimes has a Frk and it doesn’t say ibolic but it has the spray. Sometimes his boards say ibolic

[@carlislebonzano8018]

@@foxgd88 So what are they then?

[@foxgd88]

@@carlislebonzano8018 if it doesn’t say Ibolic under the boards name, then it’s a PU board. Brodi sale usually rides PU’s with a spray

[@nor_easterly]

[@tylerdlewis]
