TJ PRO V

The Firewire Taylor Jensen Pro V is a performance longboard designed by 3x World Longboard Champion Taylor Jensen and shaper Dan Mann to excel in the kind of surf most longboards struggle in — weak, inconsistent, everyday conditions. Fast, loose, and free underfoot, it's built to turn average waves into genuinely fun sessions without giving up real performance when conditions step up.

WHO

The TJ Pro V is for the longboarder who wants a board that works on the days most longboards don't.

  • The everyday longboarder tired of paddling a heavy board on flat, gutless days that should still be fun
  • The progressive longboarder who wants to draw tighter, snappier turns off the tail without losing traditional trim
  • The traveling surfer who needs one longboard that handles whatever mediocre surf shows up on the trip
  • The experienced rider who wants to experiment with quad and 2+1 setups on the same board
  • The surfer stepping back onto a longboard who wants modern speed and release instead of classic glide-only feel

This is the board for surfers who want a longboard that unlocks fun in the conditions they actually surf.

WHEN

The TJ Pro V is built for the wide middle of everyday longboard surf — soft, lined-up walls with no real push, flat sections that kill most boards' speed, and waist-to-head-high conditions where you need to generate your own drive. The lower rocker and wider nose help it paddle into weak waves early and skate across the flats, while the spiral V and squash tail keep it loose enough to lean into tighter turns when the wave finally opens up. When the surf steps up to shoulder-high and punchier, the board still holds its own — the design range runs comfortably from knee-high up to solid head-high, which covers most of the days a longboarder wants to be out. Hawaii's mix of mellow peeling walls and short-period windswell is exactly the range this board was designed for.

WHAT

The TJ Pro V takes the proven DNA of the original TJ Pro and tunes it specifically for average surf. Dan Mann dropped the rocker profile to make paddling and skating across soft flat sections effortless, then widened the nose to give the board more stability and planing area for noseriding and early wave entry. A deeper double concave runs through the bottom to channel water and build speed through sections that would stall a flatter-bottomed longboard. The squash tail shortens the rail line at the back of the board for faster pivot and quicker release on turns, and the spiral V out the tail adds that signature looseness — it lets you lean into tighter carves and feel the board break free underfoot in a way traditional longboard tail shapes don't allow.

Construction is Firewire's I-Bolic Core with Volcanic Lamination — the pairing Firewire introduced specifically for this TJ series. The I-Bolic core uses an I-beam foam structure with flex controlled at the rails through high-density foam, which gives the board engineered response without the dead weight of traditional stringers. The Volcanic lamination wraps the core in basalt fiber — a sustainable alternative to carbon that's actually stronger and more elastic, with double 4oz basalt cloth on the deck and single 4oz on the bottom. The result is a longboard that stays lively underfoot, bounces cleanly out of turns, and holds its feel over years of hard surfing. It's the most durable construction Firewire builds, paired with a core engineered for real performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I ride the TJ Pro V as a quad or as a 2+1?

Both work, and the setup you choose changes how the board surfs. Taylor Jensen designed the Pro V specifically around the quad option — in his words, the quad makes the board feel like a much shorter board, super loose and free with down-the-line speed and projection off the tail. The 2+1 setup is the more traditional longboard configuration, giving you more drive and control through turns, better trim, and an easier transition to the nose. A lot of Pro V owners switch between setups depending on the day — quad when conditions are gutless and you want maximum speed and looseness, 2+1 when you want more hold and a more classic longboard feel. The 4+1 box system means you get to dial it in however you want.

Can the TJ Pro V really handle a wide range of conditions, or is it only for small surf?

It genuinely works across a wide range. The board was designed around average 2-to-6-foot surf as its sweet spot, which covers the vast majority of the days most longboarders actually paddle out. The lower rocker and wider nose make it excel on the weaker end — soft, gutless, flat-section surf where most longboards feel heavy and slow. But the spiral V tail, squash outline, and 4+1 fin options also let it handle shoulder-high to solid head-high waves with real control. It's not a dedicated big-wave gun, and it's not trying to be a pure classic noserider — it's a performance longboard tuned for everyday conditions, built to deliver fun and real turns across the conditions you're most likely to encounter.

What size TJ Pro V should I order?

TJ Pro V sizing depends on your weight, skill level, and how you want to ride the board. The 9'0" at 62L is currently the only size Firewire offers for this model, which makes it best suited to surfers in the mid-weight range who want a responsive performance longboard rather than a volume-heavy cruiser. To dial it in for your specific situation, contact us directly:

When you reach out, include your current board dimensions and volume, how you want to ride the Pro V (more quad-driven performance or more traditional 2+1 feel), 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 wave conditions is the Firewire TJ PRO V best suited for?

The Firewire TJ PRO V is designed to excel in everyday conditions, particularly in average surf ranging from 2 to 6 feet. It is ideal for surfers who frequent beach breaks or other locations with variable wave sizes and conditions.

What skill levels is the TJ PRO V suitable for?

The TJ PRO V is versatile and suitable for both intermediate and advanced surfers. Its design allows for a fun and loose ride, making it accessible to those who want to improve their skills while still offering enough performance for experienced riders.

What are the key performance features of the TJ PRO V?

The TJ PRO V is designed to be fast, loose, and free, making it fun to surf in a wide range of conditions. It features a lower rocker profile for easy paddling and a wider nose for stability. The squash tail with a spiral V allows for more release and tighter turns, making it feel loose underfoot

What fin setups can be used with the TJ PRO V?

The TJ PRO V can be ridden with either a quad or a Two Plus One fin setup, offering versatility in performance. The quad setup provides a looser feel, making the board behave like a shorter board, while the 2+1 setup offers more stability and control.

How does the fin setup affect the performance of the TJ PRO V?

The quad setup is ideal for surfers seeking a looser, more maneuverable ride, while the 2+1 setup provides stability and control, suitable for those who prefer a more traditional longboard feel.
