Description

Coming from a long running friendship with Carver, Loaded has been experimenting with surfskate truck technology for years.

Now, pushing the boundary of what defines a surfskate, the Loaded Fathom and Tangent Surfskate Editions are a unique marriage of surfskate agility and longboard flow. Pairing the revolutionary Zee Bracket system with Carver trucks and big wheels has opened up surfskate truck performance on a double-drop board for the first time.

The Fathom Surfskate Edition is nimble and pumpable while also maintaining a comfortable low ride height that makes this board a pioneer in a new category of skateboarding that we like to call “distance surfskate.”

A WHOLE NEW SETUP

A whole new experience to reimagine surfskating: big wheels and a super-low ride height. Our distance surfskate setup is equipped with a Carver CX truck set and Orangatang Kegels for a refined surfskate experience with responsive, snappy turns and effortless pumping.

PREMIUM BUSHING CONFIGURATION

Upgraded with Orangatang bushings, this setup is all about high performance, agility, and smooth control. In front we have a mix of purple Knuckles roadside and orange Nipples boardside combining for energetic turns and yellow Nipples in the rear for drive and stability. It’s a comfortable performance double-drop bracket board to blend surfskate and long-distance skating, built to get you pumping fast and to maintain your speed while also helping to avoid wheelbite.

CONTROL

The Fathom is stable and easy to control. The low ride height thanks to the Zee Bracket system provides stability and ease of pushing and footbraking. The wide deck further enhances confidence, while upturned deck corners provide a palpable reference point for foot positioning and a secure pocket for pumping.

CONSTRUCTION

Featuring 8-ply maple construction, slight camber for road-smoothing suspension, and lifted corners (with more aggressive grip tape) to lock in your feet and reduce the chance of foot bite. Large enough for comfort but compact enough to carry on public transportation and stow under your desk.

GRAPHIC

To evoke the spirit of adventure and exploration, the current graphic was inspired by the historic Polynesian expansion and their mind-boggling ocean navigation. Nanastudio created this collage based on Polynesian ships and artifacts.

Fathom: More Like Phantom

"This setup hits different in person. The deck art is on another level. I immediately rolled to the hardware store to give the trucks a custom enamel finish. It’s incredibly planted for a surfskate, providing a rock-solid commute while still letting you pump and carve with ease. I’m still chasing that deep, dramatic dive of a C7, but this build is undeniable. The Icarus was the gold standard for a long time, but the Fathom just took the crown. The Build: • Deck: Loaded Fathom • Wheels: Orangatang Kegel (80mm) • Trucks: Carver CX Front / C2 Rear • Hardware: Loaded Zee Brackets Clean, stable, and looks lethal."

Sick ride

"These boards are extremely fast. So fast I actually tore my knee and broke a piece of bone out of my femur. Other than that these boards are smooth and awesome to ride. I have the Starship edition and its design is pretty sweet. Whenever I heal I can't wait to take it to Colorado to give it a spin."

Jose (5/5)

"My favorite board! I feel like I'm neglecting everything else. This says fathom custom complete but I only got the deck. I used the same brackets and Paris v3 with dad bods. It's the same setup as the complete I just already had some parts.agai. This is my favorite board!"

Mat (5/5)

"Fun as hell. The first ride was almost worth the whole cost of this board. Rolls forever and devours all the cracks and bumps that the streets and sidewalks throw at you like it's munching on tic tacs."
