Loaded Tan Tien Topo Longboard Deck

This is the latest iteration of the Tan Tien deck from Loaded - It features a newly engineered wood bottom veneer and a new grip design. The Tan Tien has been popular with the longboarding community for many years thanks to its ability to blend carve-oriented longboarding with advanced trick riding. The Topo is a flexible deck with drop-through truck mounts and usable kicks. This allows the Tan Tien to pack a lot into a relatively small package - if advanced, freestyle trick riding is your thing - with plenty of versatility - then chances are the Tan Tien will tick all your boxes. The complex contours create a super responsive board that allows for increased confidence when leaning into turns, popping tricks, and powering through slides. Using the Tan Tien Opo ensures that your lines are fluid and your directions are malleable. The updated grip design and bottom veneer reference the history of the Tan Tien and its conceptual underpinnings, whilst making sure it's still relevant to a whole planet of longboarding enthusiasts. Please note that the Topo is available in a variety of flexes. To get the most out of this board and enjoy it's full potential and liveliness it's vital you choose the flex that best corresponds to your weight.

The latest iteration of the Tan Tien features a new engineered wood bottom veneer and a new grip design.The Topo variation of the amazing tan Tien deck from Loaded features a new engineered wood bottom veneer and new grip design. The Tan Tien blends carve-oriented longboarding with advanced trick riding. A flexible deck, drop-through truck mounts and usable kicks allows the Tan Tien to pack a lot into a relatively small package. The complex contours create a super responsive board that allows for increased confidence when leaning into turns, popping tricks, and powering through slides. Lines are fluid. Directions are malleable. The updated grip design and bottom veneer reference the history of the Tan Tien and its conceptual underpinnings. Here's what Loaded say:

Epoxy and Tri-axle fibreglass sandwich a vert-lam Bamboo core, pressed into concave and convex cambers as well as nose and tail kicks. The nose and tails are reinforced with an extra layer of fibreglass for added stiffness and strength without compromising the responsiveness and energy of the central camber.

DropThru cutouts are CNC milled for precision. This is the most complex board we’ve built to date and we hope you will appreciate the subtle beauty of the form. The boards come pregripped with an aggressive black griptape designed to provide maximum coverage while allowing the board to flex naturally. This is our first foray in years into traditional grip tape (albeit grippier to match the needs of this board) and we went with this because it provides enhanced traction and control for sliding and pumping, as well as creating a serious “lock-in” on the nose and tail.
