Loaded Boards Dervish Sama Bamboo Longboard Skateboard Complete

  • DROP-THROUGH CARVING MACHINE – The Loaded Dervish Sama is a performance longboard created for carving, pumping, freestyle, freeride, and urban commuting / alternative transportation.
  • FUNCTIONAL DESIGN – Drop-through truck mounting for stability and easier pushing. Large cutouts maximize wheel clearance for deep carves and tight turns. Nose and tail kicks open the door for dancing and freestyle trickery and help navigate city streets. Cambered profile and mild concave create a responsive yet comfortable platform for carve-oriented longboarding. Snowboard-inspired construction combines vertically laminated bamboo and fiberglass for a durable, lightweight, and lively ride.
  • HIGH-PERFORMANCE FLEX – Bamboo and fiberglass provide lively and energetic flex perfect for hard carving and pumping. Available in three flex ratings to tailor the ride to your weight and style. Lower flex is ideal for heavier and/or more aggressive riders; higher flex is recommended for lighter riders or those looking for a more responsive board.
  • PARIS TRUCKS – Paris 180mm, 50° matte black longboard trucks deliver smooth and controlled turning response that’s perfect for carving, freestyle, and freeride.
  • ORANGATANG WHEELS – Choice of Orangatang 75mm, 80a In Heats for optimal roll speed, grip, and smoothness or Orangatang 75mm, 83a Durians for just the right balance of grip and slide for a more freeride-friendly setup. Includes Loaded Jehu V2 bearings.

Designed as an intuitive carving and pumping board, the Loaded Dervish Sama is low and easy to ride for both the first-time skater looking to cruise around town and the experienced rider seeking a soulful, snowboard-inspired ride and the ability to explore longboard dancing and freestyle.

User Friendly — Drop-through truck mounting positions the deck lower to the ground for easier, more efficient pushing and enhanced stability. Light weight and ample standing platform make the Dervish Sama comfortable and easy to handle for carving, freestyle, freeride, and commuting.

Responsive Ride — Vertically laminated bamboo and fiberglass construction pair with a cambered profile for a lively and engaging ride.
