Flatspot Raffle: How To Enter & Win
If you know Flatspot, you know that we are located in a challenging neighbourhood, but it is our neighbourhood and community and we love it. Skateboarding has been an outcast and outlaw for most of its existence and we feel at home in our hood. Unfortunately, the inner city brings some frustrations, mostly in the form of occasionally broken windows. This past week, we took a loss and need some help to get our window repaired. So many from our community have reached out and offered their support. It’s been incredible, heartwarming, and overwhelming. Y’all are so great! We want to give back to the community that is rallying around us. So in an effort to give thanks, and with the support of our brands, we’re hosting a raffle!

Flatspot Window Raffle
Full Raffle Details on the blog here.
If you know Flatspot, you know that we are located in a challenging neighbourhood, but it is our neighbourhood and community and we love it. Skateboarding has been an outcast and outlaw for most of its existence and we feel at home in our hood. Unfortunately, the inner city brings some frustrations, mostly in the form of occasionally broken windows. This past week, we took a loss and need some help to get our window repaired. So many from our community have reached out and offered their support. It’s been incredible, heartwarming, and overwhelming. Y’all are so great! We want to give back to the community that is rallying around us. So in an effort to give thanks, and with the support of our brands, we’re hosting a raffle! Find out how to support and enter…
So many of our friends, fans, customers and community have reached out to ask how they can help. Some have shared our challenges on their socials, others have made purchases, and still others have just straight up made donations. You kindness and consideration has really lifted our spirits and is even a little bit much for us to handle in some ways. We can’t thank you enough. In an effort to give back, even when we’ve been knocked down, we have connected with out brands to bring together a stack of prizes to Raffle off.
raf·fle
/ˈraf(ə)l/
noun
a means of raising money by selling numbered tickets, one or some of which are subsequently drawn at random, the holder or holders of such tickets winning a prize.
“a raffle ticket”
Seems pretty simple right? Right. There are lots of ways for us to raise funds. In the past we have done an auction. So, why would we run a raffle rather than an auction? Well, auctions often fall strictly to the individual(s) that have the most money to play with and this isn’t our goal. You know if you buy a ticket you have a chance of winning and it’s not simply based on how much you have or how much you can give. That’s important to us because we wanted give you an opportunity to support and win without it being capitalistic – every bit helps and we appreciate it all.
How to Win
There are three ways to enter and win!
- If you like, share, and tag a friend in the post, you will be entered into the raffle at no cost and will receive (1) entry. *Maximum of one (1) entry.
- If you buy a raffle ticket for $25, you will be entered into the raffle and receive three (3) entries for every $25 ticket you purchase. *One Raffle ticket per person, maximum three (3) entries.
- If you make a purchase in-store or online, you will be entered into the raffle and receive two (2) entries for every $100 purchased. *Limited to one purchase, maximum six (6) entries.
You are welcome to enter the Raffle all three ways, and we encourage you to do so! Unfortunately, you can only enter each level and receive those entries once. This is to discourage capitalistic leverage. Simply having more money to buy more entries than anyone else is not going to be rewarded, sorry. While we appreciate the financial help, we want to make this Raffle about giving back and not about rigging it to win. So if you Like, Share, Comment, Tag, you will get one Raffle Entry. If you then make a store purchase, you will get two more entries for every $100 purchased, but will only qualify to enter once, with a maximum of six entries. Lastly, if you purchase a raffle ticket for $25 you will get three entries, but will not be able to buy additional tickets for more chances. So if you support our Socials, make a Purchase of $100 and Buy a Raffle Ticket for $25, you will have a total of 6 entries into the raffle. If you shared on social, purchased $300+ and bough a Raffle Ticket, then you will have a maximum of ten 10 entries.
No single person will be able to have more than 10 entries into the Raffle.

The Odds
The short answer is, you have a great chance of winning a prize. There are over 20 prizes and a maximum of 10 entries per person. Those are pretty good odds and we intend to keep adding prizes through the weekend.
The goal is to spread some stoke to as many people as we can who have helped us through this challenge. So there will be no multiple winners. While you may have higher odds of winning, once you have one a prize, your name will be removed from the pool. That means more people will have a chance to win and the odds will improve as winners and their additional entries are taken out of the running.
Deadline
Raffle will end Monday, December 9th, 5:00pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) in Vancouver.
Winners
Winners will be drawn in a live stream Monday, December 9th, 5:30pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) in Vancouver. Please find the live stream on our instagram here: www.instagram.com/flatspotshop. Winners will then be listed here after the livestream.

You appreciate having large wheels that coast forever and plow over bumps and cracks but also want an agile, responsive, and quick-turning board.

Loaded Boards – Vanguard 21-Year Limited Edition 38″ – Complete
Loaded 21 Year Vanguard
Finally Legally Loaded
Well folks, we did it. We made it to 21. And to party, we revisited a classic, one of the first true fully-loaded longboards.
This limited-edition run of 250 hand-numbered boards celebrates Loaded’s 21st anniversary with original artwork by Travis Parr. A percentage of proceeds will be donated to the Center For Humane Technology, which strives to align technology with humanity’s best interests for improved attention, well-being, and communities.
The Vanguard longboard brings lightweight snowboard-inspired construction and performance to the pavement. Camber, sidecuts, and high-energy flex allow for responsive carving, pumping, and commuting. 21 years and still flexing.
Available in a single length and flex (equivalent to a standard Vanguard flex 3). This special complete setup is specced with larger wheels and upgraded bushings for an extra lively and flowy ride.
This limited-edition longboard is available in select shops worldwide. We will not be producing more, so if you want it come and get it. We’ll also be using this launch to celebrate our history, our friends, and our future. Visit the Loaded blog to learn more and check out our podcast!
IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU IF…
You’re a snowboarder and want to take the powder turns to the streets.
You want a roomy, comfortable platform with high-energy flex.
You want to ride (or showcase) a piece of history—it’s the original Loaded carving system!
LONGBOARD SPECS
Length: 38″ / 96.5 cm
Width: 8.5″ / 21.6 cm
Wheelbase: 31.5″ / 80.0 cm
Profile: camber
Flex: flexy
Weight (deck only): 2.7 lb / 1.2 kg
Available in a single length and flex (equivalent to a standard Vanguard flex 3 140-200+ lb / 64-90+ kg)
SPECIAL COMPLETE — This special complete setup is specced with larger wheels and upgraded bushings for an extra lively and flowy ride.
● Trucks: Paris V3 180mm 50° (polished)
● Wheels: Orangatang 80mm Kegel (80a, orange)
● Bushings: Orangatang Knuckles (soft, orange)
● Bearings: Loaded Jehu V2
● Hardware: Loaded button head (1′′)
FUNCTIONAL DESIGN — Tapered tips and pronounced cutouts maximize 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.
CURVACEOUS CONFIDENCE — Lightweight, snowboard inspired bamboo and fiberglass construction pair with a cambered profile for a lively and engaging ride.
SUPER SAP — Bio-based epoxy by Entropy Resins. Uses bio-based materials from industrial waste streams such as tree sap to replace petroleum content and reduce the carbon footprint of the epoxy from manufacturing. We’ve worked closely with Entropy to enhance every major performance characteristic of the resin. Better for the planet, even more fun.
HISTORY & GRAPHIC — The initial Vanguard was launched in June of 2002 using snowboard technology with a vertically laminated oak deck and a triaxial fiberglass/epoxy composite construction. Bringing snowboarding to the pavement. We pioneered bamboo composites with the Vanguard in 2006 and transitioned the rest of our lineup to bamboo in 2007. When we launched we originally didn’t have much of a graphic because it was technology driven (and also because we didn’t have the resources to do art well at that point). In 2004 we launched a graphic version of the board designed by our longtime friend Travis Parr (Travis is a ripping skater, snowboarder and an amazing artist. He’s designed a bunch of boards for Victoria Skimboards and is the co-founder and art director for Icelantic Skis). However, the graphics on these boards were very limited by the technology at the time. We’re now celebrating our 21-year anniversary with this hand-numbered, limited-edition Vanguard using cutting-edge direct printing technology on bamboo veneers with artwork created from Travis’ original painting.

Loaded Boards – Symtail – Deck
Loaded Boards – Symtail – Deck
PARTY IN THE FRONT. PARTY IN THE BACK.
We proudly present: The Loaded Symtail.
Staying true to Loaded’s foundational passion for carving and pumping in a lively flex-camber profile, the Symtail also empowers riders to explore freestyle and dancing maneuvers with its symmetrical shape and nose and tail kicks.
It’s a classic concept for a contemporary carver looking to pump and flow through parking garages, city streets, back roads, and anywhere in between.
LONGBOARD SPECS
• Length: 39.5″ / 100 cm
• Width: 8.75″ / 22.2 cm
• Wheelbase: 27″ / 68.6 cm
• Profile: camber
• Flex: flexy
• Weight (deck only): 2.7 lb / 1.2 kg
DISCIPLINES: Carving, Pumping, Dancing, Freestyle
FLEX RECOMMENDATIONS
Flex 1: 170-270+ lb / 77-122+ kg
Flex 2: 125-215+ lb / 57-98+ kg
COMPLETE SETUP
• Deck: Loaded Symtail
• Trucks: Paris V3 165mm 50°
• Wheels: Orangatang 70mm 4President (80a, orange)
• Bearings: Loaded Jehu V2
• Hardware: Loaded button head (1″)
IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU IF…
You want a lively carving and pumping experience in Loaded’s classic flexy camber construction.
You have an active riding style and want your board to return every bit of energy that you put in.
You like to mix up your turns with some dancing and freestyle flavor.
DESIGN EVOLUTION — The Symtail carries on the board model family heritage that began with the Pintail in 2004 and later became the Fattail in 2011. As dancing and freestyle became increasingly intertwined with carving and pumping, the original board’s once-minimalist tail grew iteratively larger and more function driven with the Fattail and has now sprouted a fully symmetric nasal counterpart with the Symtail in 2024.
FUNCTIONAL DESIGN — The Symtail’s outline shape is designed for a finely tuned and even flex. Mild concave braces your feet for quick carving, while the topmount camber platform provides responsive performance tailored toward an active riding style. Twin-taper shape with generous wheel cutouts provides ample turning leverage while maximizing clearance for loose trucks, deep turns, and a wide range of wheel sizes. The mellow upturned nose and tail feature additional fiberglass reinforcement for stiffer response in freestyle tricks.
COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION — The Symtail is built with Loaded’s classic snowboard-style composite construction. A vertically laminated bamboo core with triaxial fiberglass skins make the deck light and durable with a lively flex that’s perfect for hard carving and pumping. We also added a top layer of cork for vibration damping and a smoother ride.
SETUP — Our standard build for the Symtail complete includes Paris 165mm 50° trucks and 70mm 80a Orangatang 4President wheels.
SUPER SAP — The Symtail features bio-based epoxy by Entropy Resins which uses bio-based materials from industrial waste streams such as tree sap to replace petroleum content and reduce the carbon footprint of the epoxy from manufacturing. We’ve worked closely with Entropy to enhance every major performance characteristic of the resin. Better for the planet, even more fun.
GRAPHIC — The Symtail graphic represents the latest iteration of an ongoing functional and artistic exploration initiated by the Pintail and continued in to the Fattail.
The original Pintail graphic was designed by Jamie Engelman in 2004 as a meditation on change and growth. It was re-imagined more abstractly by Jan Michael Bennett in 2007 when we switched the Pintail from oak to bamboo.
The Fattail graphic (2011), designed by Nana Studio based on drawings by Daisuke Okamoto, built upon these themes, referencing the past while venturing forward.
Now, with the Symtail, Nana Studio curated original artwork by Daisuke Okamoto, taking the narrative another step forward. The Symtail stands as a testament to the continuous journey of growth and transformation, an inspiration to strive for our own individual fulfillment and embrace the interconnectedness of life. The seed has blossomed into a magnificent tree, embodying the ultimate aspirations of life:
Deep Roots: A firm foundation, grounded in experience and wisdom.
Solid Core: Strength, unyielding in the face of adversity.
Broad Branches: Reaching out, exploring the vastness of the universe, engaging with life in all its richness.
The Symtail stands as a testament to the continuous journey of growth and transformation, an inspiration to strive for our own individual fulfillment and embrace the interconnectedness of life.

Professor Hildenberger is currently too busy selling knock-off Dune 2 collectors edition popcorn buckets, so our very own Juhyeok Park is filling in to walk you through every thing you need to know about the new Loaded Symtail.
Juhyeok expounds that the Symtail seed has blossomed into a magnificent tree, embodying the ultimate aspirations of life: deep roots for a firm foundation, a solid core for strength, and broad branches reaching out to engage with life, in all its richness.
He’s really into metaphors, so check it out!

What drives the artist to create? When creation and creativity are entwined in the fabric of the artist, can one separate the art from the artist, or are they tied together infinitely until the end?
Symtale dives into these questions and more with Loaded ambassador and Symtail muse Ari Chamasmany. Pulling back the layers to see what inspires him and how community, creation, and skateboarding are all in balance in his life and pushing him forward. By zooming in on the subject, filmmaker Ethan Cochard shows us that inventiveness, expressiveness, and ingenuity of one is very much a product of the many.
Balance and symmetry, forever in tandem, skating boldly into the future.
