Loaded Skateboards Dervish Sama Complete
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for Carving and Pumping From Day One
The Loaded Dervish Sama complete longboard is engineered around one goal: making carving and pumping feel natural at every skill level. Its low, stable platform invites first-time skaters to build confidence cruising around town, while the responsive camber profile and snowboard-inspired geometry give experienced riders the soulful flex and energy return they look for in a dedicated carver. The Dervish Sama also serves as an ideal entry point into longboard dancing and freestyle, thanks to its generous length and balanced torsional feel.
Loaded Bamboo Construction
Loaded Boards is a leading manufacturer of high-performance bamboo longboards. Bamboo brings a rare combination of strength, flexibility, and light weight to the deck. The material absorbs road vibration across longer sessions, contributes to the lively flex the Dervish Sama is known for, and keeps the overall deck weight low without sacrificing durability. The result is a board that feels alive underfoot rather than stiff and dead.
Deck Geometry and Profile
The camber profile is central to how the Dervish Sama rides. Camber pre-loads the deck, storing energy through each carve and releasing it to drive the next pump. Combined with the 42.8-inch length and 9-inch width, the board gives riders enough platform for confident foot placement during cross-steps and nose rides without becoming unwieldy at speed. The 31.5-inch inner-hole wheelbase keeps the trucks far enough apart for stable, sweeping carves while remaining responsive to weight shifts.
Complete Setup
This listing is for a complete board. Everything needed to ride is included out of the box: deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, and hardware. The setup pairs the bamboo deck with matched trucks and urethane wheels configured specifically for carving and pumping performance. No additional components are required.
Who the Dervish Sama Is For
The Dervish Sama sits at the intersection of accessibility and depth. Beginners appreciate the low, forgiving platform and the way the board guides weight transfer naturally. Intermediate and advanced riders come for the energy return of the camber, the long wheelbase leverage for pumping distance, and the freestyle-friendly shape that opens up dancing lines. It is a board riders tend to keep long after they outgrow their first setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Loaded Dervish Sama good for beginners?
- Yes. The Dervish Sama is designed to be intuitive for first-time skaters. Its low, stable camber platform guides natural weight transfer, making carving approachable from the first session. Experienced riders will also find plenty of depth for pumping and freestyle.
- What is the difference between the Dervish Sama flex ratings?
- The flex rating determines how much the deck bends underfoot. Lower flex numbers are stiffer and better suited for heavier riders or faster carving. Higher flex numbers are softer, more energetic, and forgiving for lighter riders or pump-focused riding. The appropriate flex depends on your body weight and riding style.
- Is the Loaded Dervish Sama a complete longboard or just the deck?
- This listing is for a complete longboard. It includes the deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, and all necessary hardware. It is ready to ride out of the box.
- What kind of riding is the Dervish Sama designed for?
- The Dervish Sama is purpose-built for carving and pumping, with a camber profile that stores and releases energy through each turn. Its shape and length also make it well-suited for longboard dancing and freestyle. It is not optimized for downhill speed or technical sliding.
- Why does Loaded use bamboo for the Dervish Sama deck?
- Bamboo delivers a high strength-to-weight ratio, natural flex memory, and vibration dampening. These properties give the Dervish Sama its characteristic lively feel and keep the deck light without sacrificing durability over time.
- How does the camber profile affect how the Dervish Sama rides?
- Camber arches the center of the deck upward between the trucks. When you press into a carve, the deck flexes down and stores energy, then rebounds to drive your next pump. This makes the board feel responsive and propulsive rather than passive.
- Can I buy the Loaded Dervish Sama in person?
- Yes. The Loaded Dervish Sama complete longboard is available at Island Water Sports in South Florida and online at islandwatersports.com. Call 954-427-4929 to confirm current stock or ask questions before visiting.
