The Gem Diamond - Thunderbolt Red
Firewires The Gem is a collaboration between Dan Mann and 3X World Longboard Champion Taylor Jensen. Names The Gem because of how valuable it is - a one board quiver for 9 foot plus board riders that can trim on the nose as easily as it can carve on the rail. The diamond tail isn’t a coincidence. It’s a Gem!
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 TJPro and his TJEveryday. 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.
Features:
- Type: Longboard
- Construction: Thunderbolt Red
- Tail: Diamond
- Fin Configuration: 2 + 1
- Fins: FCS II Fins compatible fin boxes
*Fins NOT Included.
Construction:
- There are 3 construction types within Thunderbolt Technology. Thunderbolt Red is handcrafted using an all-around fibreglass lamination. The bottom laminations are 6 and 2-oz. layers while the deck lamination is 6 and 2-oz. The handcrafted result is a competition weight and flex longboard.
