A little extra girth never hurt anyone. At that was the approach taken when it came to revise the design of the pintail.
The Loaded Fattail was designed with pumping, carving, pedestrian slalom (clever right?), freestyle, and anywhere that you need a a lively energetic deck. The Fattail features a top mounted and cambered platform.
The width of the deck has been redistributed while maintaining subtle tapering near the trucks to provide both ample leverage and awareness of foot position while powering through turns.
The formerly vestigial tail has received the silicone treatment for improved functionality in both freestyle tricks and surf-style shredding. The Fattail is also equipped with a slight nose kick for manuals and shuvits.

The Loaded Pintail passed on and has been replaced with the Fattail–now available at select shops worldwide. The Pintail held a special place in our hearts since its release in June 2004, but we’ve learned a lot since then and we’ve given it a gluttonous makeover for the sake of versatility and performance. This chunky little monkey now features a wider and more refined cambered/concave standing platform, two truck options, a nominal nose kick and a functional if corpulent kicktail. Overall, it’s designed for parking garages, pumping, freestyle, a bit of freeride, commuting and eating tubs of rocky road. Because as we all know, she gotta pack much back.
