Loaded Tarab 47" - Complete Longboard
Light, durable and technical, the Tarab series has been developed to allow each longboarder great freedom of expression in their practice of Dancing and Freestyle.
This new >Loaded will delight all dancers who love freestyle longboarding and boardwalking. The LOADED Tarab II is designed to cover all aspects of Dancing, from relaxed surf-style footwork, to cruising and the most technical Freestyle tricks.
Loaded Tarab II - Deck
On the deck side, we keep the DNA of the first Tarab. A comfortable deck with a choice of Flex, lots of foot space and fairly soft kicktail angles. The symmetrical shape with its slight concave and Rocker, and grab rails (the deck is dug under the fingers to do finger tricks) with a small grain grip in the center for Freestyle tricks.
The board is a concentrate of the best know-how of LOADED Longboards, with their Bamboo/Basalt construction for a very light result (2.2 kg) and particularly durable. The cork finish (present on the top of the deck on the Tarab), added to limit vibrations and increase weather resistance, has been redesigned and moved under the deck.
The top of the deck of this Tarab II has a layer of bamboo, covered with varnish, and offers a very smooth surface. The resin used for the sandwich comes from recycled organic materials, responding to LOADED's desire to control its carbon footprint.
The nose and tail are still reinforced with a layer of Basalt, once again increasing the strength and pop of this longboard.
The deck has several holes to modify the wheelbase to adapt to the style, depending on whether you are more Dancing, Freestyle or Versatile.
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 made in collaboration with the artist Will Scobie, and represents "fluidity", a concept greatly linked to the Dancing longboard, all influenced by Lotfi's Moroccan origins.
Loaded Tarab II - Set Up
All assemblies are made to measure and may vary depending on the availability of certain versions of wheels or trucks. Unless otherwise specified by us, the LOADED Tarab II longboard is mounted with Paris V3 -180mm - 50° trucks, Orangatang Fat Free 86a wheels, and LOADED Jehu bearings.
