The Gem is a collaboration between Dan Mann and 3x World Longboard Champion, Taylor Jensen.
Earlier this year Taylor asked Dan to consider a ‘one board in the trunk’ option for longboarders who want both trim and turns - he was essentially asking Dan for a design that would land somewhere between his TJ Pro and his TJ Everyday.
Dan’s response was an intriguing intersection of shortboard style concaves with a longboard style outline and the same fin placements that Taylor likes in all his boards.
He and Taylor decided to call this model The Gem because of how valuable it is - a one board quiver for 9 foot plus boardriders that can trim on the nose as easily as it can carve on rail.
The diamond tail isn’t a coincidence. It’s a Gem.

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.

Gem 9. 8 flys
"Love it - great performance, carving and extremely fast. Only negative is the helium is delicate and it wont last very long. Setup 8. 0 centre fin half way forward and large sides . . . . it flys and great at long fast dredgy beachies on Gold Coast and on calmer days fun generating speed."
