Loaded Truncated Tesseract Longboard - Setup Option 3
Loaded is another market-leading brand that is passionate about providing its customers with a way to emulate the sensation of surfing on the land. It was in 2002 when Loaded launched its first-ever board, The Vanguard. The Loaded Crew consists of like-minded individuals who are committed to providing you with longboards that provide you with endless joy, whilst allowing you to push beyond your limits and aim for the sky.
The Truncated Tesseract is a no-kick truncated version of the Tesseract, which has been inspired by the Loaded ambassadors’ DIY deck-chopping experiments. It maintains all of the performance-driven construction which you’d expect from a top-tier longboard, all whilst possessing a more traditional and race-driven shape. The shape of the board means that it retains maximum width all the way back to the bolts for high cornering leverage and improved security for slides.
