Features
SUPER SAP BIO-RESIN
- Made by Entropy Resins, Super Sap is a high-performance epoxy system that uses bio-based materials from industrial waste streams—like tree sap—to replace petroleum content and reduce our carbon footprint. Loaded worked with Super Sap to develop a custom resin designed to enhance both the durability and the flex characteristics of this board.
TRIAXIAL GLASS + BASALT COMPOSITE ENGINEERING
- Triaxial glass fabric holds it all together and provides strength nose to tail and side to side (torsional flex). Strategic Basalt reinforcement enhances the neck at the keyhole without compromising the flex of the board. The poppy kicktails benefit from added durability for freestyle tricks, manuals, and creative expression.
SIGNATURE LOADED FLEX
- Two flex options tuned for energy return, smooth carves, and responsive slides, keeping the ride fluid and flowy. Lower flex is ideal for heavier riders or aggressive tricksters; higher flex is recommended for lighter riders or those looking for a more responsive board.
VERTICALLY LAMINATED BAMBOO CONSTRUCTION
- Sustainably harvested bamboo at the core gives the Tan Tien its lively, springy character and natural soul. Bamboo grows up to 35x faster than traditional hardwoods, absorbs more CO2, and regenerates without replanting—so the ride feels good in more ways than one.

Orangatang
ike a shot of adrenaline for a stale economy of shredding, the Orangatang Stimulus is here to breathe new life into your ride.
Combining an offset bearing seat and relatively wide contact patch with stiff, rounded lips results in a product that feels like a blend between a perfectly broken-in race wheel and a driftier freeride wheel. The stone-ground contact patch ensures buttery-smooth slides right out of the box. Equally adept at slides, tricks, dancing and commuting, the Stimulus is the jack of all trades that’s captivated our hearts year after year.
The Stimulus is poured in our proprietary Happy Thane formula for high roll speed, plush feel, and smooth, predictable drifts.
- Diameter: 70mm
- Width: 49mm
- Contact Patch: 42mm
- Bearing Seat: Offset
- Formula: Happy Thane
- Core: high-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethane

And Jehu rode (his chariot) and went to Jezrael, because Joram lay there. And Achazyah the King of Judah came down to see Joram. And the watchman stood on the tower in Jezrael and saw Jehu's band as they came and he said, "I see a group." And Joram said, "send a (horse) rider out to meet them and ask (if they come in) peace?" And the horse rider went out to meet them and said, "the king asks (if you come in) peace?" And Jehu said, "What is peace to you? Turn away." And the watchman reported that the messenger reached them but did not return. So they sent a second horse rider. He came to them and said, "the King asks (if you come in) peace?" And Jehu said, "What is peace to you? Turn away." And the watchman said, "he came to them and did not return. And the riding style is like that of Jehu the son of Nimshi -- for he has a furious riding style." And Joram said "get ready."
