Firewire FRK+ Surfboard Review - Part 1 of 2 - a Dan Mann Board

This is only part 1 of 2, possibly 3. I have only had the opportunity to surf the frk+ in the Waco Surf wavepool. I am hoping to get this thing out in the ocean soon provided mother nature cooperates. In a nutshell, I found the board to be super maneuverable rail to rail. It had great pivot in steep sections. It was a 7 of 10 in the pool for me. I found that once my legs got tired though, I lacked the strength to push the board around. The tail is very narrow compared to what I'm used to. Waco is a strange wave, it is steep in the pocket but also really slopey just outside of it. Overall though, the frk+ reminds me of the dominator, spitfire, and dominator2. They seem like close cousins. They have similar outlines with the frk+ being super narrow for performance, both have their wide points back from center about the same amount, the concaves are similar as well and the rockers are close, both being medium entry and exit but the frk+ having probably a tad more since it is meant for high performance. If you are looking for a step down from the original frk, the frk+ is ideal. If you loved the dominator, dominator 2 or spitfire and thought I wish it was leaner and meaner, wanting to shed some volume, then the frk+ might also be the right choice. However, if you are wanting more performance, you shouldn't target the volume, rather, target the length. Example being, if you loved and surfed a 5'10 dominator or D2 at 33 liters, don't target an frk+ at 33 L. Doing that will put the wide point further up in your stance, it would mean you would have to get the 6'0 frk+. Rather, get the 5'10 or 5'11 to keep the board feeling the same. Less volume will also help with the performance. If you don't like the idea of losing so much volume, then compromise but try and keep the board as close to your original d,d2, or spitfire. Lastly, I'm 5'8 and weigh 145 lbs right now. The board is 5'8" x 18 1/2" X 2 3/8" coming in at 26.1L.
