SINGLETON
The Firewire Taylor Jensen Singleton is a modern noserider designed by legendary shaper Stu Kenson and 4x World Longboard Champion Taylor Jensen, built to noseride like a classic log and turn like a performance board. It's the shape Taylor rides on the WSL Longboard Tour and his personal favorite for small-wave days — a traditional single fin that finally doesn't feel bulky underfoot.
WHO
The Singleton is for the longboarder who wants a pure noseriding board that still surfs off the tail when the wave asks for it.
- The traditional noserider who wants classic hang tens and cross-stepping without sacrificing the ability to throw a real turn
- The progressive longboarder looking to step into single-fin territory without losing the responsiveness they get from their performance boards
- The experienced logger frustrated with heavy, wooden traditional singles who wants the same glide in a lighter, livelier package
- The competitive longboarder who needs a board that scores under WSL criteria — style, trim, tip time, and commitment on turns
- The longboarder building toward a two-board quiver who wants a dedicated noserider that can also handle everyday sessions
This is the board for surfers who refuse to choose between classic style and modern feel.
WHEN
The Singleton is built for the soft, clean, lined-up days where longboarding belongs — peeling waist-high walls, fat shoulder-high sections, and the mellow everyday surf that rewards patience and footwork over power. Its wide single concave nose and stable outline let it lock into trim early and hold through flatter sections most shortboards can't make, and the tucked hard edge in the tail lets it handle steeper takeoffs and sharper cutbacks when the surf has more size. Hawaii's long, glassy mornings and the softer lined-up days that show up between swells cover the exact conditions this board was designed for — and it still has enough performance built in to handle the occasional bigger day without getting shut down.
WHAT
The Singleton's shape is the result of Stu Kenson and Taylor Jensen working through multiple prototypes to find the sweet spot between a traditional log and a performance longboard. The outline has a wide forward point that gives it stability for tip riding, a wide single concave running through the nose that holds the board in the pocket during noserides, and a square tail with a tucked hard edge that sharpens release and drives the board through turns. The bottom flows from that single concave in the nose to a gentle roll through the middle and then flattens out through the tail, which keeps water moving down the rail and makes the board feel smooth and predictable rail-to-rail. Rail edges were shaped to limit the sliding-out that kills hang fives and hang tens on less-refined noseriders.
CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS
Helium2: A stringerless 1.0 lb EPS foam core with flex controlled by Paulownia and balsa wood rails running the full length of the board, combined with a 3mm aerospace composite deck skin. Light, lively, and responsive, with flex that loads up through turns and springs back out of them.
FIN CONFIGURATION
Single-fin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fin should I ride in the Singleton?
The Singleton comes with a standard longboard single-fin box, so any single fin with a universal base will fit. Most longboarders match the fin size to the board — roughly 9.5" to 10.5" for the 9'4" Singleton and 10" to 10.5" for the 9'8". Taller pivot-style fins with more rake and a fuller tip keep you locked in during nose rides, while straighter-template fins make the board looser and easier to turn off the tail. Taylor Jensen rides his signature rake-style fin on the board during competition. If you're new to single fins and don't know where to start, a good all-around choice is a 10" classic longboard pivot fin — it works well with the Singleton's wide nose and stable outline, and it's a solid baseline for dialing in your preference over time.
Is the Singleton a noserider or can I actually turn on it?
Both. Stu Kenson and Taylor Jensen designed it specifically to be a modern noserider that doesn't feel like a typical log when you step back on the tail. The wide forward point, single concave in the nose, and rail edges tuned for tip riding all make it a real noseriding board — hang tens hold in steeper sections, and cross-stepping is stable and predictable. But the tucked hard edge on the square tail is what makes it different from a traditional log. That edge gives the board release and drive through turns that a rounded pintail or soft-railed log doesn't have, which is why Taylor rides the Singleton under WSL judging criteria — the board lets him trim, noseride, and throw real turns in the same wave. Compared to a dedicated traditional log, it's more responsive. Compared to a high-performance longboard, it trims and noserides better.
What size Singleton should I order — the 9'4" or the 9'8"?
The Singleton comes in two sizes, and the right one depends on your weight, skill level, and how you want to ride the board. Taller and heavier longboarders, or surfers who want maximum glide and stability on the tip, usually go with the 9'8". Lighter or more progressive riders who want a livelier, more maneuverable noserider often choose the 9'4".

When you reach out, include your current board dimensions and volume, how you want to ride the Singleton (more traditional noseriding or more performance and turning), the type of breaks you surf most (beach break, reef break, point break), how often you surf, and your location — location affects shipping options and helps us give you accurate delivery information.
What type of surfer is the Singleton best for?
The Singleton is designed for all skill levels.
It blends high-performance maneuverability with the smooth glide of traditional longboarding.
It's user-friendly and excels in various conditions.
What kind of waves does the Singleton perform best in?
The Singleton is Taylor Jensen's favorite for small waves that don't offer much punch or power. It offers incredible control and versatility in all conditions.
How does the Singleton perform for noseriding?
The Singleton has a wide single concave nose, a wide point for stability during tip rides, and rail edges designed to limit sliding out during hang fives and hang tens.
How does the Singleton balance performance and traditional longboarding?
Taylor Jensen and Stu Kenson refined the board's outline, curves, rocker profile, bottom contours, and rail edges to strike the perfect balance. It provides ample glide and paddle power while feeling lively.
What makes the Singleton different from a typical "log?"
The Singleton has the spring and feeling of a performance board but still suits WSL's competitive longboard judging criteria. It doesn't feel bulky and inhibit the ability to carve.
