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 Tangent and Fathom 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 Tangent Surfskate Edition is stable and maneuverable with an innovative construction and low ride height that makes this board a pioneer in a new category of skateboarding 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.

UNRIVALED CONTROL

The Tangent is stable and easy to control. The Zee Bracket system and rocker profile provide the lowest ride height for easy pushing and footbraking. Rocker also wedges the trucks slightly for tighter turning and gives the rider a locked-in feel. The mega-upturned corners provide a palpable reference point for foot positioning and a secure pocket for pumping.

RELAXED ERGONOMICS

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. Ample real estate accommodates a wide range of rider sizes and allows the option to adjust your stance over longer distances or 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."
