TJ PRO V LAUNCH! Exclusive Interview with Taylor Jensen

[@surf4life93]

How’s it? Would this go as a pure single fin as well? Or are the tail contours and rocker not really meant for that. Thanks

[@surf4life93]

@HSS HSS thank you!

[@hayesjf150]

I am 6'2" and approx. 210 pounds, any thoughts on the black versus the red? Thanks!

[@hayesjf150]

@HSS HSS Right on, many thanks, I was leaning towards the black.

[@twidmer]

@@hayesjf150 I am 220 and have ridden the black close to 6 times, still not sure about feeling flex, but I paired it with 7.5 tj signature and tj med fin, and can say I love that setup. It feels like a shortboard turn wise, and I feel a bit heavy for paddling it, but it planes nice, rides smooth with speed and finesse. Love it.

[@Mark-hj7hi]

How does this compare to the Gem?

[@Mark-hj7hi]

So hypothetically, town. I guess which one is more suited for town waves if you don’t have multiple boards in your budget? Thanks!

[@Mark-hj7hi]

Thanks for the clarification. See you guys tomorrow!

[@Mark-hj7hi]

Yep! I love you guys! Also picked up a HI4 in black during your sale and it just clicked for me. Have since sold the TJ. Though it is a fun board.

[@Mrpaniolo97]

@@Mark-hj7hi you mind me asking what clicked with the HI4 then the TJ Pro? Also HI4 vs HIHP any thoughts? Thanks

[@Mark-hj7hi]

I think anyone, including myself, would be happy with any of the three. The TJ pro v felt straight performance, while the HI4 is also is performance but has more glide to it. Also maybe the tail shape. The HI4 feels super smooth. I had the pro v in red construction, but I just didn’t vibe with its flex. Maybe my opinion would’ve been different if I tried it in black. Also have the HIHP, but if I were looking at a single board, I’d go HI4 for sure. Hihp is fun and paddles like a beast, but hi4 is just a little easier to catch, easier to surf in small waves, plenty good in bigger waves, easier to walk but also can be surfed from the back.

[@bestsignguys2185]

Taylor refers to riding it as a quad, which sounds amazing, but he doesn't clue us in on what quad fins... Obviously there are variables, but I would like to know what quad fins HE chooses... (I'm similar in size and weight). Thanks!!

[@hawaiiansouthshore]

Aloha for the quad fins it is Quad performers Or the Dan Mann quads

[@vafatma]

🥳🥳🥳

[@benlangford34]

Any idea how well it nose rides guys ?

[@benlangford34]

Appreciate that feedback Chur fellas

[@twidmer]

At 220 if almost feels easier to noseride than my 10 foot neoclassic. Board is so small and it planes great with the nose kinda angled up for a safe foray out there. Almost feels like it hydroplanes but tracks super well, even with a 7.5 center and 4 in tj side fins
