UNLEASHING DISTANCE SURFSKATE.
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.”
