RETURN TO CENTER.

TAN TIEN

REBUILT FROM THE GROUND UP

A fresh take on a Loaded classic, the Tan Tien blends heritage carving DNA with modernized performance and durability. A return to center and a fresh push forward.

SUPER SAP BIO-RESIN

Made by Entropy Resins, Super Sap is a high-performance epoxy system that uses bio-based materials from industrial waste streams—like tree sap—to replace petroleum content and reduce our carbon footprint. Loaded worked with Super Sap to develop a custom resin designed to enhance both the durability and the flex characteristics of this board.

TRIAXIAL GLASS + BASALT COMPOSITE ENGINEERING

Triaxial glass fabric holds it all together and provides strength nose to tail and side to side (torsional flex). Strategic Basalt reinforcement enhances the neck at the keyhole without compromising the flex of the board. The poppy kicktails benefit from added durability for freestyle tricks, manuals, and creative expression.

SIGNATURE LOADED FLEX

Two flex options tuned for energy return, smooth carves, and responsive slides, keeping the ride fluid and flowy. Lower flex is ideal for heavier riders or aggressive tricksters; higher flex is recommended for lighter riders or those looking for a more responsive board.

VERTICALLY LAMINATED BAMBOO CONSTRUCTION

Sustainably harvested bamboo at the core gives the Tan Tien its lively, springy character and natural soul. Bamboo grows up to 35x faster than traditional hardwoods, absorbs more CO₂, and regenerates without replanting—so the ride feels good in more ways than one.
