Loaded Boards Archive

The Loaded Vanguard brings lightweight snowboard-inspired construction and performance to the pavement. Camber, sidecuts, and high-energy flex allow for responsive carving, pumping, and commuting.

Crafted for Carving — Tapered shape maximizes wheel clearance for deep carves and tight turns. Sidecuts reduce torsional stiffness between the feet for greater nuances in the turning radius. Mild concave provides edge-to-edge control, while the topmount and cambered platform provides energetic carving performance.

Responsive Ride — Lightweight, snowboard-inspired bamboo and fiberglass construction pair with a cambered profile for a lively and engaging ride.

Versatile Variations — Available in two sizes and five flex ratings to tailor the ride to your stance, weight, and style. Lower flex is ideal for heavier riders; higher flex is recommended for lighter riders or those looking for a more responsive board.

The Loaded Tarab is designed to push the boundaries of modern longboard dancing. Loaded Boards launched their first Dancer in 2008, followed by the Bhangra in 2010. The Tarab builds on that history.

Damp and Durable — Bamboo and basalt construction keeps the Tarab light, lively, and durable.
