Reviews

One board quiver

"This board is fantastic. It truly does it all. This is my go to board even though I have 42 other boards in my quiver right now. I use it for cruising, free ride, some downhill and I’ve even started learning to dance on this deck. Feels great under my feet and just enough flex. The flared wheel wells are fantastic because I don’t even have to look down at my board and know where my feet are. The W concave helps me lock in when I’m throwing slides. If you want one board that does it all, this is the one."

— Scott A. (5/5)

"Perfect for fast freeride and freestyle. I am 195lb and the flex did not hinder downhill or fast freeride capability, which I was initially concerned about. Appreciate the eco friendly materials and durable build quality"

Great board

"Awesome board! Great for cruising and about everything else. The Basalt Tesseract has a premium feel to it straight from the box. Elegant and smooth."

Awesome board

"Great board. Board is the perfect length. W concave locks feet in perfectly at high speeds. I turned my Tessie into a E-board with hub motors and power tool batteries. Couldn’t be happier tbh. You can also feel how the cork dampens vibrations. I just wish you guys (Loaded) would make the Kanthaka again. That’s a sick deck and I don’t understand why you guys stopped making it. I always wanted one. Please bring back the Kanthaka!!!"

— Ali (5/5)

"Been wanting this board for years, finally pulled the trigger and couldn't be happier. The concave is like a saddle for your feet and the fat tails keep things interesting for freestyle. 10/10 board."

Great board

"I love this board and Loaded’s customer support. They promptly answered all my setup and order questions."

— Matthew K. (5/5)

Scratched and grip tape way off

"I love loaded!! I have 4 loaded boards and they are amazing. The quality control seems have gone downhill (no pun intended) my board came to me with the grip tape completely messed up and off centered and the bottom scratched pretty bad. I fixed the grip tape (pulled off the old and put it some new) but the scratches are still there. I’ll post pictures soon. Still and awesome board, for that price it should come perfect."

— Dallan L. (2/5)

Awesome board

"This is my first freestyle/freeride-oriented board as l'm mostly riding pumping setup, but I enjoy this board a lot. Feels great to carve on!"

— Guillaume G. (5/5)

great long term board

"there's not many reviews of this brand of longboards, but they deserve more credit. The board itself has lasted me over 3 years of about 60+ hours or so of use? the wheels weren't as good as the rest of the board, as they did start to get some pretty nasty chips in it after about 4 months in. I do recommend Fireball wheels if you're planning to use it for an everyday thing, or you're in a hot area where the wheels can heat up very quickly. Back to the deck, it is strong, to the point of me, a 175 pound 5'11 guy could jump and try and snap it but you'll just slip and hurt yourself before noticing any damage to the deck. The trucks hold up very well and still are easily adjustable to this day, though some squeaking occured but that's normal. Overall id say about 9.6/10. oh and I have had a dude do a kickflip with it, so there's that I guess"

excellent durability

"i went out to buy some milk at 10pm and while I was heading home, this chinese old man drove into me and threw me across his car. i went to check if my longboard was alright, but it was stuck under the old man's tire, so I told him to back up, and surprisingly enough, the damn board bounced back up and was still the same. i legit could not believe what I had saw. 5/5 good deck for dancing and downhill. still cant do an ollie"
