About:

 

Spot guide: Developed by Kelly Slater Wave Company (KSWC), the vision is to create wave pools around the world with majority stakeholder WSL Holdings. This means World Surf League (WSL) branded training centres are coming in the not too distant future.

Also known as Slater's wave, it is a 20-acre surfing amusement park in Lemoore, California, amid the farmland of the state's Central Valley. It's not the first man-made wave park, but it's the most powerful: The wave reaches speeds of 20 mph and heights of 8 feet, making it a capable host for competitions like the World Surf League Championship Tour. In time, controlled environments like Slater’s wave may become the norm for surfing competitions.

Customers pay $10,000 to surf for an hour, so it’s no surprise that the Surf Ranch boasts a celebrity clientele: Chris Hemsworth, Drew Brees, Tony Hawk, Shaun White, and Eddie Vedder have all caught waves there.

FRK Swallow with Sebastian Williams | Slater Designs Watch Firewire Surfboards & Slater Designs Team Rider Sebastian Williams ride the all-new FRK Swallow in I-Bolic Technology designed by Dan Mann & Kelly Slater at Surf Ranch in Lemoore in August 2024. Sebastian's riding a stock 5'9" model in this video. The FRK Swallow is the newest addition to the FRK quiver, designed for average conditions. This shape was crafted to unlock performance in waves 5' and under, Dan Mann designed the FRK Swallow to be more versatile in its performance characteristics than any other FRK shape that came before it. Shop the FRK Swallow in USA: https://bit.ly/47wKWBs Shop the FRK Swallow in ANZ: https://bit.ly/4dcjWIw Shop the FRK Swallow in EU: https://bit.ly/3XynYoJ In addition to the new swallow tail design, Dan placed an emphasis on better distributing the volume directly between the surfer's stance and worked with Kelly to amplify the effect of the outline in the back third of the board against all-new rocker curves - both down the shape's centerline and on its rails. By specifically perfecting the curve at the board's center when compared with the curve at the rails, the FRK Swallow excels at creating speed in flat, sticky sections, without sacrificing on-rail performance. Amongst the Slater Designs team, the unanimous feedback has been that the FRK Swallow feels better during downcarves and in fin releases than any other Slater Designs shape. Designed to be surfed 2" shorter than the FRK and 1" shorter than the FRK+. Recommended to pair with our Endorfins KS1 Fin Set for best performance.
