What's the 4x World Longboard Champion riding? Press play above to watch TJ's Quiver Breakdown with Taylor Jensen (@taylorjensentj).In this video, Taylor takes the time to explain the purpose of each one of his longboard and midlength shapes, what they're best for in his eyes, his favorite techs, as well as answers some frequently asked questions from our community. From his Singleton by Stu Kenson (@sk_shape) to the Special T designed with Dan Mann (@dan__mann), to his shorter TJ Pro Mid and TJ Twinzer midlengths, learn about each shape directly from the man himself, Taylor Jensen.<br /><br />The ๐—ฆ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ป by Stu Kenson was designed specifically for TJ's time on the World Longboard Tour: a board that he can take around the world that suits a variety of conditions and traditional longboard scoring criteria. This shape is more of a classic California-style log, predominantly about nose riding and the shape Taylor rode to his 2024 World Title. Taylor rides a stock 9'8" (x 23 1/4" x 3 1/4" x 80.4L). Shop Singleton: https://bit.ly/3YdBkHZ<br /><br />The ๐—ง๐— ๐—›๐˜‚๐—น๐—น ๐—ฅ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ by Dan Mann is the newest board in Taylor's range, designed to be easy to ride, easy to paddle, and a great board for anyone who's looking to catch a ton of waves and have a board feel great under their feet. As the name suggests, it has a rolled bottom for smooth glide and flow. Taylor rides a stock 9'0" (x 23" x 3" x 71.5L).Shop TJ Hull Rider: https://bit.ly/49vBmBb <br /><br />The ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ง by Dan Mann has more of a glide-like outline, and is all about trim, speed, and flow. You can nose ride, you can turn off the tail, this is an all-around longboard that's great for softer, flatter waves. Taylor rides a stock 9'6" (x 23" x 3" x 78.1L). Shop Special T: https://bit.ly/3NlCKO9<br /><br />๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—š๐—ฒ๐—บ by Dan Mann is your one-board-longboard-quiver, designed to be a hybrid of "everything." Built to be ridden as a Single Fin with its flatter rocker or as a Two Plus One with it's fully performance bottom, to surf off the tail. Taylor rides a stock 9'1" (x 22 1/4" x 3" x 67.1L). Shop The Gem: https://bit.ly/4ay78i4<br /><br />The ๐—ง๐— ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ ๐—ฉ by Dan Mann is an engineered version of the TJ Pro designed for crappier waves. This is a high-performance longboard that's meant to surf better in average conditions, it has a flatter rocker, squash instead of rounded pin tail, and a wider nose outline than the TJ Pro. Taylor rides a stock 9'0" (22 1/8" x 2 5/8" x 62.0L). Shop TJ Pro V: https://bit.ly/4sgPJAH<br /><br />The ๐—ง๐— ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ by Dan Mann is Taylor's highest-performance longboard, and the board he won his first 3x World Longboard Titles riding. This shape allows you to surf a performance longboard like a shortboard. Taylor rides a stock 9'0" (22 1/8" x 2 5/8" x 61.0L). Shop TJ Pro: https://bit.ly/3LoIAOe<br /><br />The ๐—ง๐— ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ ๐— ๐—ถ๐—ฑ by Dan Mann is a shrunken down version of Taylor's TJ Pro longboard, a smaller version that would fit better and tighter in the pocket with more freedom and performance. If you're a longboarder stepping down to a midlength, this is the shape for you. Taylor rides a stock 7'8" (x 22 1/4" x 2 5/8" x 51.2L). Shop TJ Pro Mid: https://bit.ly/4sogt2C<br /><br />The ๐—ง๐— ๐—ง๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜‡๐—ฒ๐—ฟ by Stu Kenson is in a bit of a league of it's own, and offers the pivot, speed, and freedom of a Twin Fin or fish, but has the drive of what a Quad Fin gives you. Skatey and release with drive, to maximize your enjoyment. It has a bit more rocker and thickness than the TJ Pro Mid. Taylor rides a stock 7'0" (x 21 3/4" x 2 13/16" x 48.4L).

Meet our latest, most high-performance construction made with carbon, Proflex Technology. Offering superior strength and performance, reduced weight, and controlled flex, this sandwich construction is built for critical, high-performance surfing.<br /><br />Our latest innovation in technology bringing together what Firewire's known for with sandwich construction and flex controlled through an engineered build. Featuring a Technorra carbon cage, 6oz carbon, basalt carbon tape, and our proprietary deck skin for unparalleled durability, developed in partnership with the 11x World Champion, Kelly Slater. Engineered directly to Kelly's preference in carbon performance, not too stiff and closer to "broken-in right-out-of-the-box" when you get it.<br /><br />Carbon isn't that strong when it's on a singular plane, or when it comes to piercing strength - it starts to come alive when it's wrapped around a form. The 6oz carbon wraps over the apex of the rail to give you superior strength with controlled flex. The Technorra carbon cage grinning through the build acts as a stringer helping to control torsional flex.<br /><br />Shop Spaceship in USA: https://bit.ly/3IQX88g<br />Shop Spaceship in ANZ: https://bit.ly/3VX3m9p<br />Shop Spaceship in EU: https://bit.ly/3VZ16yv<br />Shop Spaceship in UK: https://bit.ly/4mTvbdK<br /><br />MORE ON THE SHAPE<br />This is the Spaceship in Proflex Technology by Kelly Slater and Mike Woo, Woo-Pin was our working name.

Introducing the Endorfins KSR, Kelly Slater's newest fin set, a raked template designed to maximize hold and generate drive and is the complimentary opposite to the KS1 pivot template. Rake refers to how far back the tip of the fin reaches beyond the base of the fin - this design translates into more drive and wider, more drawn-out turns.

Introducing the Neutrino in I-Bolic 2.0 Technology designed by Daniel Thomson, Tomo's latest Modern Planing Hull and performance hybrid.<br /><br />Inspired by the Nano, one of Tomo's original Quad Inside Single Concave Modern Planing Hull designs from around 2008/2009, the Neutrino features the same wide chop tail design - one of the lowest drag tail designs you can make, allowing the water to release perfectly symmetrically or freely over the chop angle at the same time, which translates into low drag, high-speed surfing, and ideal for small wave conditions and creating speed when the wave energy is low. Tomo's&nbsp;Quad-In-Single-Concave design helps give the board lift and make the board feel really free on the water, it makes the board go across the boundary layer of the water with less drag and more speed.<br /><br />The template of the Neutrino is Tomo's ultra parallel rail line, which is one of Tomo's staple designs, which allows you to size the board as short as possible while maintaining maximum functional rail line throughout the design: like a skateboard for the ocean. The nose has nice area to paddle forward and catch waves with, and is great for low swing weight performance surfing so that you can hit the lip and have no feeling of extra swing weight on the nose of your board.<br /><br />Pair with Firewire Velox Fin Set as a Thruster for the best performance, and try our Slater Designs Endorfins Twin + 2 for more speed and looseness when conditions are small and gutless.<br /><br />Shop the Neutrino in USA:<br />Shop the Neutrino in ANZ:<br />Shop the Neutrino in the EU: (coming later in August)<br />Shop the Neutrino in the UK:<br /><br />For Wave Type, the Neutrino works amazing in small waves but holds up in medium to even double overhead waves, and is ideal for small wave conditions in which you need to create speed when energy is low. Because it offers the drive and foam of a much bigger board in a smaller package, it's bottom contour is the perfect design to get you going in small waves and give you a lot of hold when there's a bit of juice.For Board Features, the Neutrino was inspired by the Nano and features Tomo's signature Quad-In-Single-Concave Modern Planing Hull bottom contours with a wide chop tail design and an ultra parallel outline with the wide point super narrow for easy rail-to-rail transition. Foiled for performance but offers lots of range thanks to the lengthened rail line you get from the parallel outline, offering incredible drive and control.<br /><br />Follow us on Instagram:<br />https://www.instagram.com/firewiresurfboards<br />https://www.instagram.com/tomo_surfboards

Introducing the Dominator Pro in Helium Technology by Dan Mann (@dan__mann), an evolution of the Dominator 2.0 designed for high-performance. This is the shortboard that fans of the Dominator have been asking Dan to build for years, designed to go toe to toe with your favorite performance shortboard. The all-new Dominator Pro shape is designed for surfers who have either progressed their skill set and want a more performance version of the Dominator 2.0, or just want a more refined version of the Dominator 2.0 for surf trips, or good days at home.<br /><br />Shop the Dominator Pro in USA:<br />Shop the Dominator Pro in ANZ:<br />Shop the Dominator Pro in EU:<br />Shop the Dominator Pro in UK (available at the end of July 2025):<br /><br />For Board Features, the Dominator Pro is an evolution of the Dominator 2.0, with a lot of similarities including the subtle hip in the tail and round-ish squash tail, but it's outline is more pulled in, volume more refined, and less forgiving than the 2.0 and offering more on the performance side (but not quite that of Dan's FRK). The rocker on the Dominator Pro is true to the style of rocker on the original Dominator, but with a moderate increase in curve from nose to tail.The bottom contour's concave configuration is a near match of the Dominator 2.0โ€™s concave, with slightly more single concave under the front foot in the Dominator Pro, flowing into a double barrel concave through the fins that transitions to a vee out the tip of the tail. It's for really good surfers or good surfers who want to up their game or want a bit of forgiveness compared to a pure performance shape.โ€‹ The rocker on the Dominator Pro is true to the style of rocker on the original Dominator, but with a moderate increase in curve from nose to tail.<br /><br />For Wave Type, The Dominator Pro is a true performance all rounder suited to waves thigh high and above, all the way up into overhead and hollow surf, but does work well in a variety of conditions. It really comes alive in the chest-high and above range, and wants to sit tight in the pocket and be in punchy waves with some curve to them: small punchy beach breaks to head-high and overhead pockety waves.โ€‹.<br /><br />For Fin Setup, pair the Firewire Velox Fin Set for the best performance - many of our riders love it as a Thruster, Dan prefers the shape in the Quad configuration.<br /><br />Follow us on Instagram:<br />https://www.instagram.com/firewiresurfboards<br />https://www.instagram.com/dan__mann<br />https://www.instagram.com/kevin_schulz<br />https://www.instagram.com/brodi_sale<br />https://www.instagram.com/robkellysurf<br />https://www.instagram.com/andrew_nemo

It's for really good surfers or good surfers who want to up their game or want a bit of forgiveness compared to a pure performance shape.โ€‹ The rocker on the Dominator Pro is true to the style of rocker on the original Dominator, but with a moderate increase in curve from nose to tail.<br /><br />For Wave Type, The Dominator Pro is a true performance all rounder suited to waves thigh high and above, all the way up into overhead and hollow surf, but does work well in a variety of conditions. It really comes alive in the chest-high and above range, and wants to sit tight in the pocket and be in punchy waves with some curve to them: small punchy beach breaks to head-high and overhead pockety waves.โ€‹.<br /><br />For Fin Setup, pair the Firewire Velox Fin Set for the best performance - many of our riders love it as a Thruster, Dan prefers the Quad configuration.<br /><br />Follow us on Instagram:<br />https://www.instagram.com/firewiresurfboards<br />https://www.instagram.com/dan__mann

Press play above to watch 4-minutes of raw surfing with South Africa's U16 National Champion, Rory Dace (https://www.instagram.com/rorydace/), at one of the world's premiere point breaks, Jeffreys Bay in South Africa.<br /><br />Affiliated with our partner in South Africa, Country Feeling Surf Shop, Rory is a 16 year old next generation surfer with an incredible power surfing style. This was his first session ever on an FRK Swallow, a stock 5'11" (x 19 1/4" x 2 5/8" x 31.94L) designed by Dan Mann with the 11x World Champion, Kelly Slater.<br /><br />Shop the FRK Swallow in USA: https://bit.ly/47wKWBs<br />Shop the FRK Swallow in ANZ: https://bit.ly/4dcjWIw<br />Shop the FRK Swallow in EU: https://bit.ly/3XynYoJ<br />Shop the FRK Swallow in UK: https://bit.ly/3ZPnUCb<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Follow us on Instagram:<br />https://www.instagram.com/slaterdesigns<br />https://www.instagram.com/dan__mann<br />https://www.instagram.com/kellyslater
