2024 Longboards Drop 1: Special T & The Gem with Taylor Jensen | Firewire Surfboards

Traditional outlines with modern performance. Press play above to watch 3x World Longboard Champion Taylor Jensen breakdown the first drop of our all-new range of longboards, The Gem & Special T. These longboards are built in our proprietary Helium Technology with Variable Flex I-Beam Stringer and Paulownia Wood Nose Cap. Designed by Taylor and Dan Mann to unlock fun in any conditions. The Special T is a traditionally outlined rounded pintail longboard with a flat rocker that makes it easy to catch softer waves and is super stable. It balances easy wave-catching with ease-of-ride, and is the model Taylor was riding when he won the Duct Tape Invitational in 2022. Compared to the Special T, The Gem offers a bit more performance and versatility – configure as a single fin in small waves to ride traditionally in trim and on the nose, or as a two plus one in bigger waves and hit the lip, draw some turns, and have a lot of fun. The diamond tail shortens the rail line for more pivot but still has hold and drive, with a deep double concave in the tail to deep single in the nose to keep water flowing and increase speed. These two models feature our new proprietary Helium Technology with Variable Flex I-Beam Stringer and Paulownia Wood Nose Cap. The variable flex I-Beam stringer provides quick rebound and response, wider in the tail to offset increased pressure during turns. Narrower in the nose to accommodate increased play during trim.
