Setup: 105mm Dad Bod 77a

$424

TWO SETUPS

Featuring Paris 150mm trucks and your choice of Orangatang 105mm Dad Bod (77a blue) or 85mm Caguama (80a orange) wheels. The Dad Bod setup carries massive momentum and can go over anything for cushy cruising. The Caguama setup is a fun, more nimble option, providing quick acceleration and a lower stance. Craving sharp turns around crowded city streets? Caguamas. Want maximum coasting and rollover power? Dad Bods. You can also grab an optional 43° baseplate to transform your Tangent into an even more stable directional setup.

GO FASTER, FURTHER

Explore the unexpected with speed and momentum. Sporting large wheels (up to 105mm) and responsive trucks, the Tangent is built to get you moving fast and to keep your speed. It’s a comfortable performance double-drop bracket board to explore the unexplored.

UNRIVALED CONTROL

The Tangent is easy to control even at high commuting speeds thanks to its lower ride height and rocker profile, which wedges the trucks slightly for tighter turning. The extra 3″ of board length makes it more stable and accommodates a larger audience. The mega-upturned/lifted corners provide a palpable reference point for foot positioning and to prevent foot bite. Don't turn your feet into street meat!

RELAXED ERGONOMICS

The rocker profile gives the rider a locked-in, secure, laid-back feel. The concave “tub” design is flat in the middle and slopes up towards the side rails of the deck, resulting in added comfort, responsiveness, and agility. Greater real estate provides the option to adjust your stance over longer distances and to alternate pushing between mongo and regular.

INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION

Maple and basalt composite construction provides lightweight durability while also ensuring a smooth ride thanks to a subtle, long-lasting damp flex. Coarser griptape at the ends relays tactile feedback for intuitive foot positioning.

Reviews

"Land O’Lakes should be jealous of how butter Loaded Tangent is—ridiculously smooth and king of coasting. The board is also super responsive and totally nimble for wheels this size. The Paris V3 trucks, Orangatang Dad Bod wheels, and Loaded board composition come together for an all-day ride vibes and easy cruisin’. My 10-mile daily commute has become a total blast. Mahalo, Loaded Boards!"

— Catherine (5/5)

Very high quality

"I got the Tanget bracket board has a basalt fiber layer in it almost like carbon fiber but volcanic rock to reduce vibrations and make it stronger/lighter i was skeptical ordered the board paris trucks o tang wheels definitely can feel the difference of road dampening and how stable it is and very easy to carry speed and carve/pump overall im addicted to this board to say the least couldnt recommend it more my first loaded board and wont be the last !!!"

— Rolly (5/5)

My go-to board for cruising or distance.

"This was my first real board unless you consider the $70 Amazon special I started on. I have SEVERAL boards now but the Tangent is my go-to! It is a great board from cruising around town to covering miles and miles! I have the Paris/Dad Bod setup but I switch it out to surf skate on occasion. Smooooth riding thanks to the basalt layer inside and plenty of room on the platform. Super stable, low to the ground and did I mention room on the platform?? Great for everyone from beginners to advanced riders. Just get one and you’ll see what I mean!"

"The best thing you can spend your money on if you like longboarding is this brand of boards period."

— Ramon (5/5)

"Smooth, smooth, smooth. And fast. And pretty. It should last for quite a while too."

— Andrew (5/5)

The (factually) Best Board Ever!

"The board is the most amazing I've ever ridden and its worth its price given the longevity of likely 10 years plus. I injured my knee and the ride height combined with the ultra flat and wide deck plus the curve up tips make for a deeply thoughtful and stable ride. I also own the Icarus and after my knee injury found the ride height and the upward curve of the deck to lack the stability, though its still a fast and fantastic ride. I wrote a longer review, but I was lost. All in all, this is the best. And get the 105 mm Dad Bods, my board literally self stands vertically. Great for speed and for not feeling every crack in the NYC streets."

Q&A

What is board height in the center, when mounted with Caguama? A comparison with Fathom would be interesting too. I assume the lower height from Tangent is, because of its rocker profile compared to Fathom's camber profile.
You are absolutely correct! Slightly lower because of the rocker profile 0.4 inches (1cm), lower than the Fathom. Deck height from the ground: with 105mm Dad Bod's is 2.6 inches (6.6 cm). with 85mm Caguama it's 2.2 inches (5.6 cm).
