The Loaded Chinchiller Longboard is a carving and pumping board that is both compact and comfortable, making it perfect for a fun ride. Designed with a focus on comfort and inspiration for play, the Chinchiller offers a versatile and intuitive riding experience with its symmetrical shape and mellow kicks. It was created in collaboration with Kyle Chin, who helped to interpret the carving experience in a unique way.

The Chinchiller features a mild rocker and concave, as well as subtle flex, which makes for a smooth ride that is still stiff enough for technical tricks and slides. The compact wheelbase and top-mount design provide a nimble and responsive ride, while the slim outline shape with tapered tips allows for easy foot placement and intuitive handling. The mild concave ensures that toes and heels stay securely on the board.

The rocker between the trucks cradles your feet for a locked-in feel, while also enhancing stability and making it easier to push. The rocker profile flattens at the inner truck holes to preserve steering geometry and creates a subtle “nano drop” for extra support when carving and sliding. Additionally, the mellow nose and tail kicks provide ample leverage for manuals, shuvits, and other tricks, while keeping the board compact and streamlined.

The Loaded Chinchiller Longboard is made with a vertically laminated bamboo core that is sandwiched between triaxial fiberglass skins and bio-based epoxy resin, resulting in a thin and lightweight construction that is both strong and durable. The snowboard-style top and bottom sheets add abrasion resistance and vibration damping to the board.

This longboard also features artwork by RETOKA, a design studio founded by the Barcelona-based artist duo Toni López and Zara Castellanos. Their passion for exploring the possibilities of color, shape, light effects, and movement is evident in the unique and innovative digital art pieces they create, which showcase their own distinct visual language. The CNC-milled wheel wells allow for clearance of 65mm wheels without the need for risers.

The Loaded Chinchiller Longboard is a great choice for riders who are looking for a comfortable and versatile board that can handle a variety of riding styles.
