High Performance Longboards are not for everyone. To really make them work it takes the right kind of rider and a good wave. So let's dive into a few options of HP boards, because there are so many options out there to choose from. Let's get to it.

What's the 4x World Longboard Champion Riding? TJ's Quiver Breakdown.
What's the 4x World Longboard Champion riding? Press play above to watch TJ's Quiver Breakdown with Taylor Jensen (@taylorjensentj).In this video, Taylor takes the time to explain the purpose of each one of his longboard and midlength shapes, what they're best for in his eyes, his favorite techs, as well as answers some frequently asked questions from our community. From his Singleton by Stu Kenson (@sk_shape) to the Special T designed with Dan Mann (@dan__mann), to his shorter TJ Pro Mid and TJ Twinzer midlengths, learn about each shape directly from the man himself, Taylor Jensen.
The 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗻 by Stu Kenson was designed specifically for TJ's time on the World Longboard Tour: a board that he can take around the world that suits a variety of conditions and traditional longboard scoring criteria. This shape is more of a classic California-style log, predominantly about nose riding and the shape Taylor rode to his 2024 World Title. Taylor rides a stock 9'8" (x 23 1/4" x 3 1/4" x 80.4L). Shop Singleton: https://bit.ly/3YdBkHZ
The 𝗧𝗝 𝗛𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 by Dan Mann is the newest board in Taylor's range, designed to be easy to ride, easy to paddle, and a great board for anyone who's looking to catch a ton of waves and have a board feel great under their feet. As the name suggests, it has a rolled bottom for smooth glide and flow. Taylor rides a stock 9'0" (x 23" x 3" x 71.5L).Shop TJ Hull Rider: https://bit.ly/49vBmBb
The 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗧 by Dan Mann has more of a glide-like outline, and is all about trim, speed, and flow. You can nose ride, you can turn off the tail, this is an all-around longboard that's great for softer, flatter waves. Taylor rides a stock 9'6" (x 23" x 3" x 78.1L). Shop Special T: https://bit.ly/3NlCKO9
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗺 by Dan Mann is your one-board-longboard-quiver, designed to be a hybrid of "everything." Built to be ridden as a Single Fin with its flatter rocker or as a Two Plus One with it's fully performance bottom, to surf off the tail. Taylor rides a stock 9'1" (x 22 1/4" x 3" x 67.1L). Shop The Gem: https://bit.ly/4ay78i4
The 𝗧𝗝 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗩 by Dan Mann is an engineered version of the TJ Pro designed for crappier waves. This is a high-performance longboard that's meant to surf better in average conditions, it has a flatter rocker, squash instead of rounded pin tail, and a wider nose outline than the TJ Pro. Taylor rides a stock 9'0" (22 1/8" x 2 5/8" x 62.0L). Shop TJ Pro V: https://bit.ly/4sgPJAH
The 𝗧𝗝 𝗣𝗿𝗼 by Dan Mann is Taylor's highest-performance longboard, and the board he won his first 3x World Longboard Titles riding. This shape allows you to surf a performance longboard like a shortboard. Taylor rides a stock 9'0" (22 1/8" x 2 5/8" x 61.0L). Shop TJ Pro: https://bit.ly/3LoIAOe
The 𝗧𝗝 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗠𝗶𝗱 by Dan Mann is a shrunken down version of Taylor's TJ Pro longboard, a smaller version that would fit better and tighter in the pocket with more freedom and performance. If you're a longboarder stepping down to a midlength, this is the shape for you. Taylor rides a stock 7'8" (x 22 1/4" x 2 5/8" x 51.2L). Shop TJ Pro Mid: https://bit.ly/4sogt2C
The 𝗧𝗝 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘇𝗲𝗿 by Stu Kenson is in a bit of a league of it's own, and offers the pivot, speed, and freedom of a Twin Fin or fish, but has the drive of what a Quad Fin gives you. Skatey and release with drive, to maximize your enjoyment. It has a bit more rocker and thickness than the TJ Pro Mid. Taylor rides a stock 7'0" (x 21 3/4" x 2 13/16" x 48.4L).

Snapper Rocks is one of the most famous surf spots in Australia, if not the globe.
You've seen the pros tear it apart but what about longboarding at Snapper Rocks?
Well my super talented buddy Adam enjoyed the tail end of that epic Kirra swell tearing apart some waves, so sit back and enjoy!
When it comes to surfing Snapper Rocks everyones minds immediately jumps to the bucket load of famous locals - think the likes of Mick Fanning, Joel Parko and Occy.
And even on your average day surfing the Gold Coast in Australia you'll see heaps of epic talent and stickers on noses!
But when it comes to longboarding Snapper Rocks - espeically a solid Snapper Rocks - there are only a few who can really navigated this reeling right hander.
Putting his Firewire TJ Pro through its paces, Adam navigates the crowds with ease and I'm also slightly in awe at the way he can through around a 9'0 longboard like it's a 5'10!

Harley Ingleby & Ben Skinner Longboard Byron Bay | Longboard Surfing Australia | Stoked For Travel
What happens when you give longboard legends Harley Ingleby and Ben Skinner and fun little right hander to surf?
Well, they make it look far too easy....!
I was stoked to catch up with Skindog and Harley last week up in Byron Bay, as Ben flew in fresh off the Bells World Tour event for a bit of sunshine and some waves.
So sit back and watch these two give a masterclass in nose riding, foot work and making the most of a reeling little right hand bank on their Thunderbolt longboards.
Skindog is surfing his signature Dynamic Double Sccop, whilst Harley rides a soon to be released single fin model.
And a guest appearance from Byron local Jack Entwistle styling on the Skindog Cherry Picker too!
