Description

THE LAST MILE (OR EVERY MILE).

Introducing the Loaded Fathom, the longboard that blurs the boundaries of what a skateboard can be.

The Fathom is one of the easiest boards to ride in the world and a ton of fun. Built around the new Loaded Zee Bracket truck mounting system. With large wheels and a low ride height, the Fathom reimagines soulful commuting and urban exploration.

This board is for you if you want a compact board thats easy and fun to ridefor novices and seasoned skaters alike. Its low ride height makes for effortless pushing and footbraking, and the wide deck provides a forgiving, stable platform. Commuters and distance pushers will appreciate the Fathom’s huge wheels that coast forever and plough over bumps and cracks!

Available as a complete using the Fathom deck and also in the standalone Zee Bracket kit to create your own DIY double-drop longboard. Our recommended setups for the Fathom include Paris V2 150mm 50 trucks with your choice of Orangatang 105mm Dad Bod or 85mm Caguama wheels.

Built around the Zee Bracket: This proprietary composite bracket (designed exclusively for Loaded by our friends, the wizards at G/Bomb Skateboards) allows us to build unique and functional next-gen skate vehicles with double-drop (drop-through and drop-down) truck mounting.

Features;

Speed: The Fathom is built for speed and momentum. With its large (up to 105mm) wheels and agile trucks, this board bridges the gap between board and bike, easily reaching and sustaining commuting speeds that surpass the comfort zone of conventional skateboards. Get a good workout, explore the roads less travelled, or get to class/work without breaking a sweat. Its up to you.

Control: The Fathom is stable and easy to control, even at high commuting speeds. The low ride height provides stability and ease of pushing and footbraking. The wide deck further enhances confidence, while upturned deck corners reduce the chance of footbite.

Fun: Double-drop brackets and relatively narrow trucks make this board surprisingly responsive and agile. A board with wheels this size has no right to turn this well.

Two Setups: Includes Paris 150mm trucks and your choice of 105mm Dad Bod (80a orange) or 85mm Caguama (77a blue) wheels. The Dad Bod setup is a blast to ride, carries massive momentum, and can go over anything for easy cruising. The Caguama setup is a fun, approachable alternative, providing quick acceleration and a lower stance. Here at Loaded we vastly prefer to ride the Dad Bod setup because of its epic rollover power.

Construction: Featuring 8-ply maple construction, slight camber for road-smoothing suspension, and lifted corners (with more aggressive grip tape) to lock in your feet and reduce the chance of foot bite. Large enough for comfort but compact enough to carry on public transportation and stow under your desk.

Graphic: To evoke the spirit of adventure and exploration, the current graphic was inspired by the historic Polynesian expansion and their mind-boggling ocean navigation. Nanastudio created this collage based on Polynesian ships and artifacts.
