Loaded Mata Hari Complete Longboard | 44.5"

Loaded Mata Hari Complete Longboard | 44.5"

A dancer's board with a freestyle soul.

The Mata Hari is a long, elegant dance and freestyle board. At 44.5" with a roomy 9.25" deck, it gives you space to cross-step, walk the board and flow through footwork, while aggressive kicks and CNC-milled wheel wells let you get technical with shuvits, pivots and tricks.

Three wheelbase options let you set it up for dancing (outer) or freestyle (inner), and the art-deco grip pattern leaves a bare centre for smooth footwork. Paris V3 trucks and small, grippy Orangatang Fat Free 65mm wheels keep it light and nimble under your feet.

Flex Guide

Flex is how much the deck bends under your weight, and it changes the whole feel of the ride. Loaded numbers its flexes from stiffest to softest: Flex 1 is the stiffest, and each higher number is softer.

• Stiffer (lower number): more stable and damped at speed, a planted platform for heavier riders, harder landings and faster riding.
• Softer (higher number): more spring and rebound, so pumping and carving feel livelier and more surf-like, especially at lower speeds. Best for lighter riders.

Pick by your weight first, then your style. If you sit where two flexes overlap, go stiffer for speed and stability, or softer for a bouncier, pumpier ride.

The Mata Hari comes in one flex. It has a subtle flex. You can tune it with the wheelbase: the inner holes feel firmer and snappier for freestyle, the outer holes softer and smoother for dancing.

About Loaded Boards

Loaded Boards was founded in 2000 by Don Tashman, after years of building snowboard-inspired boards in New York, some of them cut from old snowboards. The first Loaded board, the Vanguard, launched in June 2002. Loaded moved its whole line to bamboo cores in 2006, released the original Dervish, one of the first flexible drop-through carving boards, in 2007, and started its sister wheel brand Orangatang in 2008.

More than two decades on, Loaded still designs out of Culver City, California, and is known for obsessive construction, sustainable materials like bamboo, basalt and bio-based resins, and boards developed with its riders for carving, dancing, freestyle and freeride. If you want a longboard that feels alive under your feet, Loaded is the benchmark.

FAQs

What is the Loaded Mata Hari best for?
Longboard dancing and freestyle: cross-steps, peter pans, shuvits and technical footwork. It's also a smooth, relaxed cruiser.

Is a 44.5" longboard the right size for me?
For dancing and freestyle, yes: the length gives you room to walk the board and flow. It suits teens and adults of most heights. If you want a compact carver, a 38"–39" board is easier to carry.

Is the Mata Hari good for beginners?
Yes, if you want to learn dancing or freestyle. It's long and stable to stand on, and the kicks and wheelbase options grow with you as your footwork improves.

Does the Mata Hari come in different flexes?
No, it comes in one flex. It has a subtle flex. You can tune it with the wheelbase: the inner holes feel firmer and snappier for freestyle, the outer holes softer and smoother for dancing.

Can I commute on the Mata Hari?
You can, but it's built for dancing. The small 65mm wheels are best on smooth surfaces; for long, rough commutes a drop-through with bigger wheels is more comfortable.

Does it come ready to ride?
Yes. It arrives fully assembled with griptape, trucks, wheels and bearings installed. Just check the truck tightness suits you and go ride.
