Loaded Tan Tien Longboard Deck

Loaded new Tan Tien Longboard deck.

Deck only. Griptape included.

Flex 1 is very hard, I would say for riders about 90-120Kg
Flex 2 is a bit harder than the dervish in Flex 1. 70-90Kg
Flex 3 is a little softer so we think good for 40-79Kg

The Loaded Tan Tien is a dropped longboard for everything
you like to do with that. It´s a fun deck, with a little flex, tail, nose
concave, and now better griptape! Love it or hate it!

Driven by progressive longboarding as explored by Loaded’s riders, the Tan Tien manifests the desire to develop new tricks and engage new riding styles. From its foot-locking concave, drop-thru truck mounting and pumpable camber, to its responsive nose and tail kicks, the Tan Tien blends carve oriented longboarding with advanced trick riding. The complex contours create a super responsive board that allows for increased confidence when leaning into turns, popping tricks, and powering through slides. With the woven bamboo bottom and the funky grip design the Tan Tien is easy on the eyes. But you’ll need to ride this board to truly fathom its potential.

Epoxy and Tri-axle fiberglass sandwich a vert-lam Bamboo core, pressed into concave and convex cambers as well as nose and tail kicks. The nose and tails are reinforced with an extra layer of fiberglass for added stiffness and strength without compromising the responsiveness and energy of the central camber. DropThru cutouts are CNC milled for precision. This is the most complex board we’ve built to date and we hope you will appreciate the subtle beauty of the form.

Grip tape: The boards come pregripped with an aggressive black griptape designed to provide maximum coverage while allowing the board to flex naturally. This is our first foray in years into traditional grip tape (albeit grippier to match the needs of this board) and we went with this because it provides enhanced traction and control for sliding and pumping, as well as creating a serious “lock-in” on the nose and tail.
