The Gem is a collaboration between Dan Mann and 3x World Longboard Champion, Taylor Jensen.
Earlier this year Taylor asked Dan to consider a ‘one board in the trunk’ option for longboarders who want both trim and turns – he was essentially asking Dan for a design that would land somewhere between his TJ Pro and his TJ Everyday.
Dan’s response was an intriguing intersection of shortboard style concaves with a longboard style outline and the same fin placements that Taylor likes in all his boards.
He and Taylor decided to call this model The Gem because of how valuable it is – a one board quiver for 9 foot plus boardriders that can trim on the nose as easily as it can carve on rail.
The diamond tail isn’t a coincidence. It’s a Gem.
Wave Type
This is Taylor Jensen and Dan Mann’s one-board quiver longboard, the one longboard you’d keep in your trunk that can do it all. Ride as a Single fin in small waves for traditional trim and nose rides, and switch up the configuration to Two Plus One in bigger waves to hit the lip, draw some turns, and have a lot of fun.
Board Features
The Gem offers a bit more performance than the Special T, with a deep double concave in the tail to a deep single concave in the nose to help keep water flowing and increase speed. The diamond tail shortens the rail line for more pivot, but still has lots of hold and drive. It also does feature a hard edge, for that higher level performance with a bit more spice.
Helium Core Technology
An EPS core with variable flex I-beam stringer, and rails made from Paulownia and Balsa wood to control flex – this construction is light and lively underfoot, and excellent at generating speed in everyday waves. New for 2024, a wooden nosecap creates maximum compatibility for noseriding in all conditions.
