Welcome to another Loaded Boards breakdown! Today, we’re diving into the exciting release of the all-new Loaded Fathom Surfskate. If you’ve ever dreamed of capturing the fluidity of surfing combined with the smooth cruising of longboarding, this board is your next obsession.
Loaded Boards have cracked the code for endless surfskate stoke—okay, maybe not perpetual motion, but it’s pretty darn close! The Loaded Fathom Surfskate and its sibling, the Loaded Tangent, are the ultimate fusion of surfskate agility and longboard flow.
Pairing the revolutionary Zee bracket system with Carver trucks and big wheels has opened up surfskate performance on a double-drop longboard for the first time.
Born from a long-standing collaboration with the surfskate pioneers at Carver, Loaded has spent years fine-tuning their surfskate tech to bring you boards that ride like a dream. In this post, we’ll unpack everything that makes the Loaded Fathom a must-have for surfskate fans. And if you’re curious about the Tangent, we’ve got a whole separate blog covering that gem too—make sure to check it out!
The Loaded Fathom Surfskate Edition is a game-changer, blending compact agility with a low ride height to create a whole new surfskate category: distance surf skating. Designed to take you further while keeping that surfy vibe alive, this board is perfect for riders who want to flow through the streets with confidence and style.
If you’ve been curious about surf skating but crave a stable, roomy standing platform that feels more secure than a traditional surfskate, the Loaded Fathom is your match. It’s ideal for riders who love the carving and pumping of surf skating but also want to cover longer distances. Thanks to the large 80mm Orangatang Kegel wheels, this board glides over cracks, rough roads, and uneven terrain with ease—no more worrying about the small stuff.
Built with a fine tuned Carver truck setup, the Fathom is all about smooth pumping and maintaining speed. Its double-drop deck design offers a low, comfortable ride height, making it the ultimate board for blending long-distance cruising and surf skating.
The deck’s wide shape adds extra confidence while riding, and the upturned corners provide intuitive reference points for foot placement and a secure pocket for pumping. It’s roomy enough for stability and comfort yet compact enough to carry on public transport.
It’s all in the truck setup. The Loaded Fathom is outfitted with the legendary Carver CX Trucks, delivering a refined surfskate experience with ultra-responsive, snappy turns and effortless pumping.
Paired with a carefully selected set of premium Orangatang bushings, this setup is engineered for high rebound, unmatched stability, and buttery-smooth control. Whether you're carving tight lines or cruising longer distances, the combination of these trucks and bushings ensures a ride that’s as dynamic as it is steady.
There you have it, the Loaded Fathom. One of Loaded’s 2 new surfskate boards. If you want to find out more about the Loaded Tangent, we have another blog post diving into it.
