Loaded Tarab II 47" - Complete Longboard
Lightweight, durable, and technical, the Tarab series was developed to provide every longboarder with great freedom of expression in their Dancing and Freestyle practice. This new Loaded will delight all longboard enthusiasts of freestyle and boardwalk dancing.
The LOADED Tarab II is designed to cover all aspects of Dancing, from relaxed surf-style footwork to cruising and even the most technical Freestyle tricks.
Loaded Tarab II - Deck
Regarding the deck, the DNA of the original LOADED Tarab is maintained. A comfortable deck with choice of Flex, plenty of foot space, and fairly soft kicktail angles. The symmetrical shape with its slight concave and rocker, along with grab rails (the deck is hollowed under the fingers for finger tricks) with a fine-grain grip in the center for Freestyle maneuvers.
The deck is a combination of the best craftsmanship from LOADED Longboards, with their Bamboo/Basalt construction resulting in a very lightweight (2.2 kg) and exceptionally durable board. The cork finish (present on the top of the Tarab deck) added to reduce vibrations and increase weather resistance has been rethought and moved under the deck.
The top of this Tarab II deck has a layer of bamboo, coated with varnish, providing a very smooth surface. The resin used for the sandwich is made from recycled organic materials, reflecting LOADED's commitment to controlling its carbon footprint.
A significant detail, the nose and tail are still reinforced with a Basalt thickness, further enhancing the strength and pop of this longboard.
The deck has multiple mounting holes to adjust the wheelbase to suit different styles, whether for Dancing, Freestyle, or All-around.
The LOADED Tarab II is available in 2 FLEX versions:
- Flex 1: 140-270+ lbs / 63-123+ kg
- Flex 2: 80-190+ lbs / 36-86+ kg
Loaded Tarab II - Other Details
The most common setup includes Orangatang Fat Free wheels to provide enough freedom for tricks.
Pro Longboarder, Lotfi Lamaali, was particularly involved in the design of this board.
The design of this new LOADED Tarab 2 was created in collaboration with artist Will Scobie and represents "fluidity," a concept closely related to longboard Dancing, influenced by Lotfi's Moroccan origins.
