TJ PRO
The Firewire Taylor Jensen TJ Pro is a high-performance longboard designed by shaper Dan Mann in collaboration with 4x World Longboard Champion Taylor Jensen, and it's Taylor's go-to competition board — the one he's won world titles on. It's built to go vertical and draw hard turns on a longboard without giving up the glide and trim that make longboarding fun.
WHO
The TJ Pro is for the longboarder who wants a competition-grade performance board that rewards aggressive surfing.
- The intermediate-to-advanced longboarder ready to push past trim and into real turns
- The performance longboarder who wants a board that can go vertical off the top without losing its longboard feel
- The competitive longboarder looking for a proven contest shape with a world-title pedigree
- The experienced shortboarder crossing into longboarding who wants performance response, not a traditional log
- The longboarder who prefers waves with real power and wants a board that holds in on critical sections
This is a board for surfers who want to drive off the tail, not just glide on the nose.
WHEN
The TJ Pro is built for the stronger end of longboard surf — clean, punchy waves with real shoulder and power where you can load up turns, critical sections where you need the tail to hold, and bigger days when a performance longboard outperforms a traditional log. Its more aggressive bottom contours and added tail kick let it project hard through turns and handle steep drops that would overwhelm a cruiser. On small, soft days it still paddles and trims well, but this board comes alive when the surf has size and shape — which makes it a natural fit for the range of conditions Hawaii produces when swells stack up.
WHAT
The TJ Pro is built around a single bottom contour that flows the length of the board. A light single concave runs through the nose for noseriding, transitions into a double concave underfoot for drive, and finishes with a slight vee out the tail to loosen the back end. That sequence feeds water cleanly from one rail to the other, which is what makes the board feel seamless through rail-to-rail transitions and drawn-out carves. Compared to the 900R it was developed from, the TJ Pro has more aggressive bottom contours and noticeably more kick in the tail — two design moves that let it release off the top and pivot in critical sections the way a high-performance longboard needs to. The rounded pintail sharpens control on rail and holds through powerful turns, while the performance rails give the board a shortboard-like response hidden inside a longboard body.
DIMENSIONS

CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS
Ibolic Core with Volcanic Lamination: An EPS core built around an I-beam high-density foam stringer with parabolic high-density rails, wrapped in Volcanic lamination — a basalt fiber cloth woven from crushed volcanic rock. Combines the stiffness of Firewire's LFT construction with the flex and spring-back of Helium. More durable than carbon and tuned for elevated response.
FIN CONFIGURATION
2+1. Fins not included.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size TJ Pro should I order?
The TJ Pro comes in a single stock size of 9'0", but whether it's the right board for you depends on your weight, skill level, the conditions you surf most, and how you want to ride it. Contact us directly and we'll help you decide if the TJ Pro is the right fit:
- Email: sales@hawaiiansouthshore.com
- Text: (808) 597-9055
When you reach out, include your current board dimensions and volume, how you want to ride the TJ Pro (more traditional single-fin feel or more performance 2+1), 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.
Should I ride the TJ Pro as a single fin or as a 2+1?
Both work, and the setup changes how the board surfs. Running it as a single fin gives you a more traditional, drawn-out feel — smoother turns, classic trim, more room to walk the board and ride on the nose. Running it as a 2+1 with smaller side fins adds drive, hold, and response off the tail — more projection through turns and tighter arcs in critical sections, which is the setup Taylor Jensen rides it in for competition. A lot of TJ Pro owners pick a setup based on the day and the conditions they're surfing. If you want help dialing in fin size and setup for how you surf, contact us directly.
How does the TJ Pro perform in different wave conditions?
The TJ Pro is designed for performance in good waves, from beach breaks to pointbreaks. It excels in speed, power, flow, and driving turns on rail, making it suitable for aggressive maneuvers while maintaining flow
What are the key features of the I-Bolic Core Technology with Volcanic Lamination?
The I-Bolic Core Technology features an I-beam core construction with flex controlled at the rails using high-density foam, providing a solid feel and responsive flex. Volcanic Lamination uses basalt fibers, offering durability and elevated response as a sustainable alternative to carbon
What fin setup does the TJ Pro use, and how does it impact maneuverability?
The TJ Pro typically uses a 2+1 fin setup, which provides control without sacrificing drive and maneuverability. This setup allows for precise control and dynamic turns
How durable is the TJ Pro with Volcanic Lamination?
The Volcanic Lamination technology is Firewire's most durable construction, offering elevated response and sustainability. It is stronger than carbon and provides a natural feel underfoot
Who is the TJ Pro suitable for?
The TJ Pro is suitable for both advanced and intermediate surfers. It is a high-performance longboard that can handle aggressive maneuvers, making it a great choice for those looking to push their limits in the water.
Is the TJ Pro suitable for small waves?
The TJ Pro is not the best choice for small waves, as it requires a bit more power to perform optimally. It prefers bigger, punchier waves.
What is Volcanic lamination and how does it compare to other constructions?
Volcanic lamination is Firewire's sustainable alternative to carbon fiber. It's made from basalt cloth — fibers produced by crushing volcanic rock, melting it at around 1,500 degrees Celsius, and extruding the molten material into strands that are woven into a lamination cloth. Basalt fiber has similar strength and weight characteristics to carbon but is more environmentally friendly because it comes from a natural, abundant rock source. On the TJ Pro, Volcanic lamination is paired with an Ibolic core, which combines the stiffness of Firewire's older LFT construction with the flex and spring-back of their Helium technology. The result is a board that's stronger than carbon, delivers elevated response off the rail, and holds up to aggressive surfing over time.
