Are Loaded Longboards worth it?
Yes,
Why are Loaded Boards so expensive?
Loaded Boards are so expensive because of the materials and lifetime warranty. Many of their boards use premium materials like bamboo and fiberglass to create a soulful riding experience. They can justify a higher price tag because they’ve proven to create high-quality longboards that they stand behind.
History
Loaded Boards was driven by the founders’ passion for skateboarding and alternative transportation methods. They were inspired by the growing demand for eco-friendly products and recognized the potential for longboards as a sustainable mode of personal transportation.
In the early years, they focused on developing flexy, high-performance longboards inspired by snowboarding. In 2002 they launched their first board, the Vanguard. Since then, they have continued to expand their product range, incorporating new materials, innovative shapes, and cutting-edge design.
They have cultivated a strong community by sponsoring events and athletes.
