The Gem

One Board. Endless Possibilities.

The Gem is the ultimate all-in-one longboard—designed by Dan Mann in collaboration with 3x World Longboard Champion Taylor Jensen to bridge the gap between his performance-focused TJ Pro and the easy-riding TJ Everyday.

Taylor asked for a single board that could do it all: trim on the nose, carve on rail, and still fit in the trunk. Dan delivered with a design that fuses shortboard-inspired bottom contours with a longboard outline and Taylor’s signature fin setup.

• High-performance bottom for lift, speed, and clean transitions

• Classic longboard outline for smooth glide and stability

• Diamond tail = added flair + responsive turning

• 9’+ quiver killer that works in small peelers and solid surf

“We called it The Gem because that’s exactly what it is—a rare, versatile find for serious longboarders.”

If you want one longboard that can do it all—cruise, trim, turn, and travel—The Gem is your board.

Optimal Conditions

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.

Timbertek Lamination Technology

One of the most sustainable surfboard constructions you'll find, made with Paulownia wood.

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.
