Loaded Tangent Complete Longboard | 35.75"

Loaded Tangent Complete Longboard | 35.75" Dad Bod

Low, stable and built to go the distance.

The Tangent is Loaded's double-drop commuter and distance cruiser. Its deck mounts on Loaded's Zee Brackets, so it rides very low between the wheels: easy to push, easy to foot-brake and extremely stable at speed. A rocker profile, tub concave and lifted corners keep your feet locked in, with coarser grip at the ends.

This setup runs Orangatang's huge 105mm Dad Bod wheels, built for long-distance pushing and rough roads. They roll over cracks, gravel and bad footpaths with ease and hold their speed for kilometres. On Paris V3 150mm trucks, it's a smooth, planted machine for getting places.

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 Tangent comes in one flex. It has a subtle flex: firm and stable for distance and speed, with a little give for comfort on long rides.

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 Tangent best for?
Commuting and long-distance pushing. The low double-drop platform makes pushing effortless and the 105mm Dad Bod wheels roll over rough roads and hold their speed.

Is the Tangent the right size for me?
It suits most teens and adults. It's 35.75" overall with a long 29.375" wheelbase, so it rides like a much bigger board while staying compact to carry.

Is the Tangent good for beginners?
Yes. It sits very low, so it's easy to balance, push and stop, and it's extremely stable. It's one of the easiest boards to ride for getting from A to B.

Does the Tangent come in different flexes?
No, it comes in one flex. It has a subtle flex: firm and stable for distance and speed, with a little give for comfort on long rides.

Can I commute on the Tangent?
That's exactly what it's built for. The big wheels handle rough footpaths and roads, and the low deck makes pushing and foot-braking easy over long distances.
