Loaded Boards Basalt Tesseract Bamboo Longboard Skateboard Deck (Dark Blue)

Bought this for a friend of mine who likes his downhill skating..He loves the board. Says its lighter than his others and has a perfect concave for his feet.Exceptional quality and looks incredible..Excellent purchase.

Design: Although design is usually more of a personal preference, I have to say I love the way this board looks, and you probably will too. From the W-concave on the top with the Tesseract logo cut out in the grip tape to the cork veneer bottom with a modern multicolor design that will never go out of style.Ride Quality: Coming from a drop through deck before this (the Sector 9 Shoots and Striker decks), I was used to having a lot of turn flexibility, but I found that with a lack of drop through design, wheel bite was something I would have to worry about now. However, after tightening the trucks, my issues with wheel bite have been resolved. The W concave, while at first a bit overwhelming, grew on me after about an hour, and I love it now. Keeps my feet locked in to the board, and I really feel secure at high speeds.Functionality: Although Loaded says you can do anything on this board (and you can, this board is good for anything from dancing to downhill) I found that it was a bit big and heavy for my personal portability taste. While going around my college campus, I found it to be quite a chore to pick up my board and carry it around, especially because I'm on the shorter side (5'6", or 66 inches) and this board is fairly large (almost 40 inches)Price: At close to 200 dollars, this is not cheap for a deck. But in my opinion, the price is worth what you get in terms of build and ride quality. The board feels very sturdy, made with a bamboo core and a fiberglass sandwich. If this board was cheaper, I would give it 5 stars.To close: Buy once, cry once. If you have the money for this board, buy it. I seldom find myself not amazed with this board and I'm certain you'll love it. However, it is definitely pricey and you could get many full setups for the price of just this deck alone (I paid about 350 for the current setup I have on this one, which includes the Caliber II 10"/44 trucks and Cloud Ride Ozones).

The buying experience was great! Contact the seller soon after purchase for a more personalized board! This board is so sweet! I have a Land Yachtz 41 inch cruiser, as well, so I’ll compare it to that board. I bought the square lipped wheels, but also wound up buying an extra pair of round lipped! I’m riding with the round lipped at the moment, which are like my wheels on my land yachtz. The loaded tesseract is much faster, which I’m definitely getting used to! It’s also more responsive and so so smooth! I can go faster speeds and feel more confident on this board! We are a family of skaters, and we’ll definitely be getting more of these boards in the future!

Great board, Solid at doing everything well. I bought it just to have my dog mush me around the park and it's pretty fast. I'd replace the bearings and maybe the wheels because it doesnt feel as fast as a cruising board but that's really not what it was made for. It definitely has the stability to bomb down the biggest hills or mountains, do powerslides, ollies with tails on each side. I rallied it in the skatepark in the bowls. Just an all around solid board for everything.

This board is perfect in every way. They people at loaded put a lot of thought into this board. each curve has a purpose. this is the ideal free ride, downhill, cruiser board. i bought 1/8 inchshock pads for mine because i wanted the smoothest ride possible and i like to run larger wheels and i didnt want to get wheel bite. this version come with caliber trucks, stilulis wheels, and my bearings that came with it are bones reds. it is the perfect setup for this board. the tesseract is beautiful. very sturdy too. the cork bottom gives it a unique feel and look and is also very sturdy. I have road a lot of different longboards but this one is my favorite by far. absolutely no cons to it. And it also come with a bunch of orangatang stickers to trick out your gear.

This is my favorite free ride / light downhill board. I am kind of a big guy at 6'3, so I had to change out the bushings it came with for some orange nipples. But the control I have on this board unreal. I love it!

Awesome deck! Loaded has outdone themselves. Love the kicks, concave, and wheel flares. Know where my feet are at all times. Very durable, I have been thrashing it and the only the only noticeable damage is to the grip tape on the rails. Was worried about the cork bottom, but it has held up great so far. Even think it actually does absorb some vibration as ridiculous as that sounds. All my other boards have starting collecting dust since this purchase. Worth the price!

AJAX Board Supply was very kind and hooked me up. They were able to send me the board with calibre trucks, risers, redz bearings and orangatang wheels! I'm still adjusting to riding this board and have noticed the bushings make a clicking sound when I turn, no biggie, I'm happy :)

Tres bon emballage protecteur. Tres satisfait. Board parfaite pr freeride

The media could not be loaded.  As a previous happy owner of a Loaded Omakase I was very disappointed with this.The Omakase lasted me about 9 months of daily skating and kept my sanity in check during the covid lockdown. However this new board lasted me literally 2 days before it started falling apart. More specifically the upper layer of the longboard started coming off. I don't know if this is due to poor craftmanship or poor storage or something else. I doubt that in 2 days I was able to wear it off somehow.Now, the bad thing is that since this is a skateboard, it's hard to notice such an issue until you've tried out the skate. And then it's pretty impossible to return the item for a refund or replacement. So this feels like 160£ washed down the drain and a very sour aftertaste.Now neither seller responds to the issue, neither it is possible to contact Loaded via their website since their contact form is buggy. So keep this in mind folks before spending your precious money on something that can break in a just a few days time. You're not actually getting any sort of guarantee by going with Loaded which I initially assumed. So next time I'll go for smaller companies and cheaper boards.

The board itself is great in all aspects.Delivery was very fast.

I am in love
