Loaded Boards Dervish

Among all the Loaded boards, dervish decks are great all around boards to help you get started into longboarding or just upping your game if you already have started on it.

The dervish is a long board manufactured by Loaded Carving Systems and made out of an epoxy and tri-axle fiberglass sandwich with a vert-lam bamboo core. When seen from the side, it is convex in shape which is what has built its reputation as a lively, agile and stable ride. To give you an idea how this flexibility works, imagine taking a turn on your deck. You and your weight press down on the board giving it a concave camber. When going out of the turn, you straighten your legs and shift your weight allowing the board to spring back and use the force you used on it to turn to preserve your forward momentum.
