Description

  Exploring ways of emulating snowboarding and surfing on land, Loaded began as a passion (obsession?) in the mid 90s. We scavenged Krypto Classics, Krypto 85s, Bones Hardcore wheels, every new-fangled truck we could find, and retrofitted every piece of wood or old snowboard we came across with trucks and wheels. The decision to start a company occurred in September of 2000 following a series of serendipitous events. After much trial and error with all kinds of materials and production methods, we launched our first board, The Vanguard, in June 2002. We build what we want to ride. We are passionate about materials, are committed to environmentally conscious design and production, appreciate the subtleties of process (the devil's in the details) and are devotees of functionally driven design. The ideation and design of all of our products are spearheaded by a small, project specific, in-house team followed by input from the entire in-house crew and select ambassadors. The strength of each project team is built on a foundation of trust, maximizing individual strengths/perspectives, accountability, intellectual rigor and constructive criticism. Egos and biased assumptions are challenged and the expectation is that each player brings a healthy dose of positivity and passion to the table. The upshot is both refined product and poignant personal growth.

If you are looking for a cruiser setup with downhill freeride capabilities, then the Omakase is an obvious choice for you. Use it for cruising, commuting, freeride, or freestyle shredding, thanks to the short, wide, stable, and nimble platform. Pop ollies or slides, thanks to the rockered shape with its mild concave and the beefy tail section. You get a stiff, lightweight, and durable board with a tri-layer bamboo core sandwiched between fiberglass and epoxy layers.
