DRK

Name: DRK
Brand: Firewire

Owners Rating:

The DRK is Dan Mann's winning shape from Stab In The Dark X, a refined high-performance shortboard derived from Kelly Slater's FRK. It retains the FRK's fin placement, bottom contours, and rocker while pushing the wide point forward for a narrower, more responsive back half. Single-to-double concave and a moderate rocker make it surprisingly versatile, but it targets good, punchy waves chest-high and above. Built for advanced surfers chasing clean, high-performance surfing in quality conditions.
