Loaded Dervish
With a lower center of gravity and a torsionally stiff design, the Dervishes are built to hold an edge and maximize energy return.
A drop-thru carver designed to work with most reverse kingpin geometry trucks and 70mm+ wheels.
The dropthru design allows for easier pushing, more stability at speed, and easier sliding.
It has a small flat nose and tail for manual and shovit tricks.
The Dervish was designed and intended for speeds between 0 and 30 mph (0-50km/hr).
You can take the board faster with skill and experience, but it is not intended for higher speeds due to its flex characteristics.
Specs:
Length: 41.5" / 105 cm
Width: 8.5" / 21 cm
Wheelbase: 33" / 84 cm
Weight: deck only: 3.4 - 3.6 lbs / 1.55 - 1.65 kg
Complete: 7.6 - 7.8 lbs / 3.4 - 3.5 kg
Construction:
Epoxy and Tri-axle fiberglass sandwich a vert-lam Bamboo core, pressed into concave and convex cambers for liveliness, responsiveness and high energy potential.
DropThru cutouts are CNC milled for precision.
Flex:
The Dervish is available in two flexes:
Flex 1: 170-230+lbs / 77 - 105+kg
Flex 2: 100-185+lbs / 45 - 85+kg
Keep in mind that a softer flex pattern will give you more control and tighter turns at slower speeds and make it easier to slide, but tends to lose stability slightly at higher speeds. Stiffer flex means more energy potential, more stability at higher speeds, and makes air moves easier, but will not be as forgiving and lively when cruising.

Setup:
Trucks: We've designed the drop-thru to accommodate the Randal R-II, Paris, Bear, Gullwing Charger and Tracker Fastrack Longboard Trucks. All reverse-kingpin trucks work well on this board, but we recommend using at least a 180mm wide truck.
Wheels: Be sure to find a wheel appropriate for your riding style and desired speed. We've designed this board for a 70mm+ wheel. Our current top recommendations for this board are the 75mm Orangatang In Heats or 70mm Orangatang 4President, but don’t be afraid to explore other options.
Graphic:
Inspired by ancient Persian Islamic art, we've named this board the "Dervish" as a reference to the Whirling Dervishes. A sub-sect of Sufism (Mystical Islam), the Dervishes are famous for their ritual whirling dances, an aerobic flowing movement designed to produce spiritual ecstasy. This is the second Dervish graphic of the series and mantains the mystical vibe of the first graphic. Graphic by Pablo and Diana of Nana Studio.
