The Loaded Symtail carries on the board model family heritage that began with the Pintail in 2004 and evolved into the Fattail in 2011. As dancing and freestyle became increasingly intertwined with carving and pumping, the original board’s once-minimalist tail grew iteratively larger and more function driven with the Fattail and has now sprouted a fully symmetric nasal counterpart with the Symtail in 2024.
SYMTAIL DESIGN:
The Symtail was designed in collaboration with Loaded ambassador Ari Chamasmany, who championed the Fattail’s versatility with his inimitable riding style blend of pumping, dancing, and sliding.
The Symtail’s outline shape is designed for finely tuned and even flex. Mild concave braces your feet for quick carving, while the top mount camber platform provides responsive performance tailored toward an active riding style. Twin-taper shape with generous wheel cutouts provides ample turning leverage while maximizing clearance for loose trucks, deep turns, and a wide range of wheel sizes without the need for risers. Mellow upturned nose and tail with additional fiberglass reinforcement for stiffer response in freestyle tricks.
COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION:
Snowboard-inspired construction sandwiches a vertically laminated bamboo core between triaxial fiberglass skins for light weight and durability with lively flex characteristics perfect for hard carving and pumping. A top layer of cork provides vibration damping for a smoother ride.
Bio-based epoxy by Entropy Resins. Uses bio-based materials from industrial waste streams such as tree sap to replace petroleum content and reduce the carbon footprint of the epoxy from manufacturing.
Loaded has worked closely with Entropy to enhance every major performance characteristic of the resin. Better for the planet, even more fun.
PARIS V3 165MM 50° TRUCKS:
It ain’t about the size of the boat, it’s about the motion of the ocean! The Paris Trucks V3 165mm trucks are a perfect fit for boards less than nine inches wide. Narrower hangers offer more grip, and that smaller size gives you all the control, without any compromise in strength or performance.Â
Built with Paris’ tried and true truck geometry and signature, open bushing seat, these puppies are the cats meow. The Paris V3 165mm 50° trucks are the ideal truck for all your carving, cruising and dancing needs!
LOADED JEHU V2 BEARINGS WITH ORANGATANG 4PRESIDENT:
The new Loaded Jehunion Bearings (version 2 of our original Jehu bearings) feature extended inner raceways to eliminate the need for separate spacers and speed rings. Snug up your axle nuts until there’s no excess play and your wheels still spin easily.
The Orangatang 4 President 70mm are the perfect candidate for your technical downhill, your grippy hard carving, or just your general cruising around. The square lipped gives you lots of grip when taking those turns, and drift smoothly when kicked out. There’s no other better candidate then the 4President.

What drives the artist to create? When creation and creativity are entwined in the fabric of the artist, can one separate the art from the artist, or are they tied together infinitely until the end?
