The Loaded Tan Tien is probably one of the best all-round longboards on the market. The relatively small size is ideal for carving around town. However, it is still long and stable enough for freeriding and mellow downhill skating. The complex contours create a super responsive board that allows for increased confidence when leaning into turns and powering through slides.
Riding Style
A versatile freeride board for creative skaters. Whether for smooth cruising and carving around town or for downhill skating at higher speeds.
Shape
The symmetrical shape is perfect for skating in both directions, whether forward or switch. With drop-through truck mounting, the board sits a little lower than a top mount deck would. The low centre of gravity increases stability and smoothness. The camber profile and mild concave create a responsive yet comfortable platform for carve-oriented longboarding.
Setup
The trucks and wheels perfectly fit the board. The soft wheels provide excellent grip and speed, even on rough surfaces. The deck is made of bamboo, epoxy and fibreglass. Making it particularly lightweight and durable.
Flex Options
This Loaded Longboard comes in 3 different flex options. Keep in mind that a softer flex pattern will give you more control and tighter turns at slower speeds and make it easier to slide, but tends to lose stability slightly at higher speeds. A stiffer flex means more energy potential, more stability at higher speeds, and better longevity.Rider weight: Flex 1: 170-270+ lbs / 75-122+ kgRider weight: Flex 2: 130-210+ lbs / 59-95+ kgRider weight: Flex 3: 80-170+ lbs / 36-77+ kgFeaturesDeck made of epoxy, triax fibreglass and bamboo constructionSymmetrical shape with camber profileSupersap – bio-based epoxy by Entropy ResinsParis 180 mm 50° trucksOrangatang 70 mm 4President wheelsLoaded Jehu V2 bearings
