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.

Construction

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 Loaded have built to date and they hope you will appreciate the subtle beauty of the form.

Grip tape

The boards come pregripped with Vicious Griptape, an aggressive black griptape designed to provide maximum coverage while allowing the board to flex naturally. This is Loaded's first foray in years into traditional grip tape (albeit grippier to match the needs of this board) and they 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.
