First step: Choose the right board. 📚 @taylorjensentj The second episode of 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗧𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴  with @taylorjensentj, The Right Board, is now playing on our YouTube channel. In this series, the 4x World Longboard Champion breaks down the basics of longboarding and helps you understand early surf culture and how we got to where we are today. One of the biggest factors in progressing as a longboarder is choosing the right board. In this episode, 4x World Longboard Champion @taylorjensentj heads to @surfride to break down the key differences between traditional, high-performance, and hybrid longboards, explaining how each design changes the way a board glides, trims and turns. From traditional longboards like the Singleton and Special T, to high-performance models like the TJ Pro and TJ Pro V, and versatile hybrids like The Gem and TJ Hull Rider, Taylor explains why there’s no single “best” longboard, only the right board for the conditions and the style of surfing you want to pursue. Whether you’re buying your first longboard or looking to expand your quiver, understanding how rocker, bottom contour, outline, volume, and fin setup influence performance will help you choose a board that matches your ability, your local waves, and the style of surfing you want to pursue.
