Flex 2 is best for a rider between 65 to 100 kilograms.
Length: 35 inches.
Width: 8.75 inches.
Wheelbase: 29 inches.
Construction and Flex: Construction: Epoxy and Tri-axle fiberglass sandwich a vert-lam Bamboo core, pressed into concave and convex cambers for liveliness, responsiveness and high energy potential.
Ride: Versatile, light and fluid, these boards are designed to promote an assertive, dynamic riding style. It'll hold it's own on hills, riding banks, as a commuter, and for beer runs. But if you're anything like us, it's all about the late night parking garage sessions. Glassy eyes and a permanent grin.
About the Board:
Yeah, from a surfer’s perspective, the Pintail is a sweet and sweaty speed board that is set up for serious carveage. No slipping and sliding here…No flicking and flapping...trickin and trippin’.
I think you get the picture.
The Loaded Pintail harkens back to the narrow tail of its aquatic cousin, the pintail surfboard, which is suited optimally for long flowing turns and performs best with loads of speed and power. This board is not for ramps or street tricks. The length, flex, and tight tail set this baby on a straight trajectory for speed and style.
About Loaded:
Beginning in early 1995, trying to mimic the rush of snowboarding on pavement, Loaded shortboards got less and less play time while they experimented with more stable wheelbases, any funky truck they could get our hands on, and pretty much any material they could put trucks on. All sorts of shapes of Baltic birch plies, solid wood, modified shortboards, and various other objects became projectiles to careen down local hills with. Looking for a lively and precisely tuned and responsive ride, old snowboards soon found themselves reincarnated with trucks and wheels attached—awaiting more brutal methods of destruction. Loaded played (and continue to play) with almost every board and truck available and took courses in composite and material technologies, continuing on with their quest to build a lively board capable of skating bigger hills with enhanced control. September 2000 through June 2002 were dedicated to developing these boards. It was challenging. Loaded enlisted and ended up frustrating many of the greatest minds in skate-boarding and snowboarding. Determining and testing the materials was a full time job. Trying to get the wood and fiberglass to conform to compound contours was an affront to physics and they got sick of hearing that it couldn’t be done with curvatures as pronounced as they wanted. But done it was and the first ride made it clear that it should be done.
