Loaded – Fathom Complete – 105mm 80a Dad Bods

Loaded X G-Bomb Fathom Complete Zee Bracket Mounting System With Paris 150mm and 105mm 80a Dad Bods Complete

THE LAST MILE (OR EVERY MILE).
Introducing the Loaded Fathom, the longboard that blurs the boundaries of what a skateboard can be.

The Fathom is one of the easiest boards to ride in the world and a ton of fun. Built around the new Loaded Zee Bracket truck mounting system. With large wheels and a low ride height, the Fathom reimagines soulful commuting and urban exploration.

IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU IF…

You want a compact board that’s easy and fun to ride—for novices and seasoned skaters alike.
You’re looking for a low ride height for effortless pushing and footbraking and a wide deck that provides a forgiving, stable platform.
You appreciate having huge wheels that coast forever and plow over bumps and cracks.

LONGBOARD SPECS
• Length: 33″ / 83.8 cm (complete), 23″ / 58.4 cm (deck)
• Width: 9.25″ / 23.5 cm
• Wheelbase: 26.5″ / 67.3 cm (complete), 17.25″ / 43.8 cm (deck)
• Profile: slight camber
• Flex: subtle
• Weight: 9.6 lb / 4.4 kg (Dad Bod), 8.4 lb / 3.8 kg (Caguama), 3.1 lb / 1.4 kg (deck)
• Designed for riders up to 250 lb / 113 kg under normal use. Riders 250-300 lb / 113-136 kg should minimize aggressive pumping.

COMPLETE SETUP
• Bracket: Loaded Zee Bracket (NEW)
• Trucks: Paris V2 150mm 50° (raw)
• Wheels: Orangatang 105mm Dad Bod (80a, orange)
• Bearings: Loaded Jehu V2
• Hardware: Loaded (two sets: 1.25″ at deck, 1″ at trucks)

SPEED
The Fathom is built for speed and momentum. With its large (up to 105mm) wheels and agile trucks, this board bridges the gap between board and bike, easily reaching and sustaining commuting speeds that surpass the comfort zone of conventional skateboards. Get a good workout, explore the roads less traveled, or get to class/work without breaking a sweat. It’s up to you.

CONTROL
The Fathom is stable and easy to control, even at high commuting speeds. The low ride height provides stability and ease of pushing and footbraking. The wide deck further enhances confidence, while upturned deck corners reduce the chance of footbite.

FUN
Double-drop brackets and relatively narrow trucks make this board surprisingly responsive and agile. A board with wheels this size has no right to turn this well.

TWO SETUPS
Includes Paris 150mm trucks and your choice of 105mm Dad Bod (80a orange) or 85mm Caguama (77a blue) wheels. The Dad Bod setup is a blast to ride, carries massive momentum, and can go over anything for easy cruising. The Caguama setup is a fun, approachable alternative, providing quick acceleration and a lower stance. Here at Loaded we vastly prefer to ride the Dad Bod setup because of its epic rollover power.

CONSTRUCTION
Featuring 8-ply maple construction, slight camber for road-smoothing suspension, and lifted corners (with more aggressive grip tape) to lock in your feet and reduce the chance of foot bite. Large enough for comfort but compact enough to carry on public transportation and stow under your desk.

GRAPHIC
To evoke the spirit of adventure and exploration, the current graphic was inspired by the historic Polynesian expansion and their mind-boggling ocean navigation. Nanastudio created this collage based on Polynesian ships and artifacts.

Loaded Fathom – For the Last Mile (Or Every Mile)

Flatspot has always been a fan of the push! Maybe you’ve heard? #WalkingIsForChumps! From commuting around town to long paths in the woods of North Vancouver, we even skated across a country. We just love to be out on a board. Over the years we’ve tried a lot of things. We chased those long treks on Demonseeds, we snubbed up 35 inch switchblades with tkps, and we’ve been cutting custom platform decks for brackets for as long as there have been brackets. Having the gear that makes your distance melt away makes all the difference. There really isn’t a need to struggle with that anymore. Introducing the Loaded Fathom and G-Bomb Zee Bracket. Loaded has worked to offer a new light weight, super strong, cost effective bracket system that lets you use easy to access parts like Paris Trucks and Orangatang wheels.. and the Loaded Fathom platform of course!… to build a personalized setup thats going to keep you pushing and pumping all day long. We’ll make another post to go into more details about the Zee bracket itself and all the DIY options, but lets look at the full package, the Loaded Fathom Complete option, first! // read more

Loaded – Chinchiller – Deck

Loaded Boards – Chinchiller – Deck

BIG CHILLIN’. LOW-KEY THRILLIN’.
Compact and comfy, the Loaded Chinchiller is a carving and pumping board designed for maximum fun. Mild rocker and concave, subtle flex, and easy handling make it accessible and intuitive, while the symmetrical shape and mellow kicks offer the versatility to add a bit of freestyle and freeride spice to your daily ride.

IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU IF…
You want a playful carving and pumping experience in a light, compact, and ultra-comfortable presentation.
You love to cruise and chill but also like the versatility of a symmetrical shape and twin kicks for the occasional tomfoolery.
You appreciate having just the right amount of flex to smooth out the road ahead.

DESIGN CONCEPT
The Chinchiller was designed in collaboration with Kyle Chin as a unique interpretation of the carving experience with a focus on comfort and inspiration for play. Subtle flex keeps the ride quality smooth but is stiff enough for more technical tricks and slides.

PLAYFUL PROPORTIONS
The compact wheelbase and topmount design produce a nimble and responsive ride. The slim outline shape with tapered tips pairs nicely with narrow to mid-size trucks for intuitive foot placement and telepathic handling. Mild concave keeps toes and heels comfortably secure.

CREATIVE, COMFY CURVES
Rocker between the trucks cradles your feet for a locked-in feel, enhances stability, and lowers the board for easier pushing. The rocker profile flattens at the inner truck holes to preserve steering geometry and creates a subtle “nano drop” for board awareness and extra support when carving and sliding.

FUNCTIONAL FEATURES
Mellow nose and tail kicks provide ample leverage for manuals, shuvits, and other tricks while keeping the board compact and streamlined. CNC-milled wheel wells allow clearance for 65mm wheels with no risers.

BIO-BASED COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION
A vertically laminated bamboo core is sandwiched between triaxial fiberglass skins and bio-based epoxy resin for high strength in a thin, lightweight construction. Snowboard-style top and bottom sheets add abrasion resistance and vibration damping.

GRAPHICS
Featuring artwork by RETOKA, a design studio founded by the Barcelona-based artist duo Toni López and Zara Castellanos. With a passion for exploring the possibilities of color, shape, light effects, and movement, they specialize in creating unique and innovative digital art pieces that showcase their own distinct visual language.

LONGBOARD SPECS
• Length: 34″ / 86.4 cm
• Width: 8.5″ / 21.6 cm
• Wheelbase: 21″ / 53.3 cm
• Profile: rocker
• Flex: subtle
• Weight (deck only): 3.1 lb / 1.4 kg

RECOMMENDED COMPLETE
• Trucks: Paris V2 150mm 50° (raw)

Pantheon – Trip “Sunflower” – Deck

Pantheon Longboards – Trip 2023 “Sunflower” – Distance Push Deck

The Pantheon Trip is back with a sexy new graphic, unique applewood veneer, and a lighter weight design construction. We dropped the top veneer in favor of lighter weight, snappier construction and dyed the top fiberglass layer black for a sweet undercover look that screams quality.

The new Trip is as great as ever and will feel very familiar underfoot when compared to past designs. Flex will be nearly identical and only very minor changes were made to the shape for slightly very aesthetics at the truck interface. The Pantheon Trip remains the best double drop commuter deck built for RKPs on the market.

LONGBOARD SPECS
Length: 33.25″ / 84.5 cm
Width: 9″ / 22.9 cm
Wheelbase: 27.25″ / 69.6 cm
Profile: mustache rocker
Weight (deck only): 3.4 lb / 1.5 kg

RECOMMENDED SETUP
Pantheon Trip deck
Paris V3 165mm 50° trucks
88 Wheel Co 85mm McFly, Orangatang 85mm Caguama, or Seismic 85mm Speed Vents
Loaded Jehu V2 bearings or Zealous Classic
1/16” shock pads
Button or Pan head hardware (1”-1.25″)

FUNCTIONAL DESIGN – The Trip’s outline shape is cut to maximize usable surface area and minimize the chance of wheelbite. A slightly tapered waist complements the camber profile for a subtle suspension effect. The open-ended nose and tail provide flexural relief, protection against impact damage, and ease of assembly. Neutral truck mounting angles simplify setup while offering a versatile starting point for customization.

CURVACEOUS CONFIDENCE – Pantheon’s highly functional crescent drop lowers the center of gravity and stiffens the drops for efficient pushing while also providing enhanced lateral support and general ergonomics. The drop also allows for effortless slide initiation to control speed in common settings like hilly urban environments or paths and trails. Mustache rocker profile combines subtle camber at the deck’s midpoint with rocker under the feet. The localized camber pairs with the slightly tapered waist to provide suspension characteristics while allowing the rest of the board to remain stiff for optimum control. Mellow radial concave provides an ideal balance of edge control and riding comfort. The junctions between concave and crescent drop create three-dimensional pockets for secure and intuitive ergonomics.

SNAPPY, LIGHT, & LOW – The Trip is a low riding steeze machine that is efficient and effective for all of your commuting and distance riding needs. A 6-ply maple core is sandwiched between layers of triaxial fiberglass with a protective wood veneer on the bottom so that you don’t scratch that structural composite layer on curbs. This layup results in a thin, stiff, and lightweight structure with snappy, responsive flex characteristics. Combine with large, soft wheels like our 86mm McFly, and you’ve got an absolute cruising machine that will suck up road vibrations and keep you going all day long.

GRAPHICS – Designed by Eddie Kihm (who has worked on many of Pantheon’s board graphics) in collaboration with Pantheon’s founder, Jeff. The graphic depicts a being surrounded in a field of sunflowers over the top of the being’s head. To the being, it likely hardly sees anything but a thicket of stems. But the being’s oversoul, which is connected to the overarching reality, has a grander view of a field and sunset, capturing the true beauty of the being’s reality. Often times, we are stuck in our own respective struggles, caught in each moment. The reality of the beauty of life in all its forms—birth, death, and all ups and downs in between—escapes us in these moments of individual struggle. This graphic is to remind us that it’s all part of a bigger picture.

Loaded Boards – Tarab II – Deck

Loaded Boards – Tarab II – Longboard Dancing Deck

LET THE RHYTHM MOVE YOU.
Since 2008 Loaded has been on the forefront of longboard dancing. The Tarab II deepens our roots and seeks to advance modern longboard dancing through thoughtful design and material evolution. Ideal for riders who want a versatile and well-rounded platform for surfy boardwalking lines, smooth freestyle trickery, and everything in between.

Move around. Find your flow.

RECOMMENDED SETUP

Loaded Tarab II deck
Paris V3 180mm 50° (matte black) trucks
Orangatang 65mm Fat Free (86a, yellow) wheels
Loaded Jehu V2 bearings
Loaded button head hardware (1.25″)
Assembled on outer (31.25″) wheelbase

LONGBOARD SPECS
Length: 47″ / 119 cm
Width: 9.5″ / 24.1 cm
Wheelbase: 30.5-31.25″ / 77.5-79.4 cm
Profile: rocker
Weight (deck only): 4.9 lb / 2.2 kg

FLEX RECOMMENDATIONS
Flex 1: 140-270+ lb / 63-123+ kg
Flex 2: 80-190+ lb / 36-86+ kg

IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU IF…

You want a board that can handle everything on the dancing spectrum, from relaxed surf-style footwork and cruising to more technical freestyle tricks and combos. You like the comfortable and damp feel of a tailored flex board, appreciate a slightly longer deck for more foot space, and prefer more mild kicktail angles for that classic longboard-style leverage.

FUNCTIONAL DESIGN – Rocker, concave, symmetrical shape, mellow kicktails, grab rails, and purposeful griptape combine to form an elegantly ergonomic platform for flowy footwork and the most frenetic freestyle dancing. Wheel wells are pre-milled into the core prior to pressing, allowing for increased wheel clearance while maintaining the strength and finish benefits of full composite construction.

LIGHT, DAMP, AND DURABLE – Bamboo and basalt construction keeps the Tarab II lightweight, lively, and durable. We relocated the vibration-damping cork to the bottom layer and added a bamboo top veneer for a slicker surface for pirouettes and other dancing moves. We added another layer of basalt reinforcement in the nose and tail for significantly improved wear resistance and even more pop. Stronger and better than ever.

VERSATILE VARIATIONS – Available in two distinct flexes. Flex 1 features a thicker bamboo top veneer for added stiffness and damping. Flex 2 is slightly lighter and noticeably more lively. Both flexes feature two updated wheelbase options to accommodate a variety of riding preferences (the new outer setting is equivalent to the previous inner setting on the original Tarab).

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.

GRAPHICS – We created the original Tarab’s graphics in collaboration with artist Will Scobie to convey the fluidity of longboard dancing and the euphoric experience defined in its namesake. Loaded ambassador and DockSession founder Lotfi Lamaali was heavily involved in the design and development of both iterations of the Tarab. For the Tarab II, we built upon the original graphic while further exploring the influence of Lotfi’s Moroccan cultural background.
