It's official: the Tarab is back!
We spent the past few years dealing with the constant struggle of delays and supply chain issues like every other small business out there. But we made sure to use that time to gather rider feedback and test out new construction to bring a fresh update to one of our most beloved dancing longboards.
After so much time apart, we're beyond exited to bring the Loaded Tarab II back into our lineup! Thanks to all of our fans and followers for being patient with us after so long!
The Tarab II is the ideal longboard for riders that are looking for a comfortable platform to explore the realm of longboard dancing and freestyle. The Tarab II provides ample space for frantic or buttery smooth footwork and a symmetrical shape for optimum trick functionality. The Tarab II also features CNC-milled grab rails for extra grip for grab tricks and CNC-milled wheel wells for reduced chance of wheelbite and greater wheel clearance.
We updated the construction of the Tarab II utilizing a vertically laminated bamboo core sandwich between layers of basalt. We added an additional layer of basalt to the kicktails that extends beyond the truck mounts to provide crispier pop and added durability for hard hitting tricks.
Based on rider feedback, we subtly updated the wheelbase options to provide more longevity in the kicktails and enhance the Tarab II's freestyle abilities. The previous inner wheelbase is now the outer wheelbase option, and we added a new inner wheelbase for even more agility and to help keep your kicktails popping as they begin to wear down.
With two flex options, Tarab II offers everything a rider could want in a dancing longboard, whether you're highly skilled or just starting out! So find your flow and let the rhythm move you to your local Loaded dealer to grab one today!

Shrimp of a board 🍤 Whale of a good time! 🐳
Introducing the Loaded Ballona, Moby & Willy!
Agile, compact, and light, the Loaded Ballona elevates the mini cruiser experience. Meticulously sculpted curvatures result in a unique mini “longboard” with tuned steering and responsive handling.
With a carefully crafted 3-dimensional spoon concave placed delicately around the front truck, the Loaded Ballona offer crisp grip for your feet and pampered comfort. The spoon concave doubles in functionality by giving a slight wedging to the front truck, increasing your turning angle for heightened agility and responsiveness.
It wouldn't be a whale without a tail. The low-angled spade-shaped tail is designed to work seamlessly with longboard trucks and wheels, providing the user with the leverage and mobility needed for traversing any environment.
Perfect for urban commuting, people slalom, driveway slashing, pump tracks, and skatepark flow. Small in stature, colossal in character.

The Loaded Mata Hari has finally arrived on stage!
Continuing the legacy of Loaded dancers, the Mata Hari embraces a progressive and rapidly evolving new era of longboard dancing and freestyle.
Compared to our previous dancing boards, the Mata Hari features more compact dimensions, steep and poppy kicktails plus a wide range of wheelbase options. These design features make the Mata Hari a technically adept board for those who live to explore and challenge what is possible on a dancing skateboard.
With three different wheelbase options, you can dial in your ideal setup to perfect your longboarding style.
The shortest wheelbase of 27.25" provides the long kicktails for easier scooping and faster pop for intense freestyle tricks. The shorter wheelbase also provides a stiffer deck feel for heavier landings and stability for sliding and riding at higher speeds.
The middle wheelbase of 28.25" offers slightly more flex and a blended combination of freestyle and dancing performance. This is our standard wheelbase option for our completes and is the recommended starting point for riders of all skill levels.
The longer wheelbase of 29.25" gives the Mata Hari a responsive flex pattern that is ideal for the die-hard dancers, carvers and casual cruisers out there. The longer wheelbase also offers more standing platform for greater freedom of movement for your fancy footwork.
