Probably the highest quality reviews for boards on UA-cam. Good stuff man.
Appreciate that, thanks Kevin
That deck shape is a work of art
Man that deck is fire.🔥🔥
Have a nice weekend as always🤙
Right? I'm a big fan of it
"The C7 is the 'surf-skatiest' truck..." Perfect, love it! 😂 Great review, thank you.
Lol sometimes I just say made-up words 😂 Thanks for watching and dropping a comment Steve!
@@concrete-waves hey! Ivegotthisthingwithwords too 🤭😅
I love this deck shape. I wish I could just get the deck to swap out on my Yow Pipe complete.
I'm hoping they sell individual decks eventually. I would also love to have a YOW setup with it
I don't own a bolsa, but I got loaded bushings for my cx trucks. Absolutely changed my life lol
The challenge with the Smoothstar Thruster is that, because of the way the truck is designed, the axles sit back on the truck much further than other trucks. Which means that if you take say a Thruster and a YOW Meraki and put them on the same length deck, the Thruster will have a narrower wheelbase. So on the Thruster, you need a deck that's longer and has wider wheelbase than what you'd use on other trucks.
Perfectly explained, thanks for sharing this Steve. I've also felt like they work better with flater decks but I guess it's really just personal preference
@@concrete-waves They work better with anything other than their stock component parts. But you can’t tell them that. 😉
I was pretty fun how the cons were about the deck and then the pros were “this deck feels perfect for my riding style”, amazing video!
Lol I was trying to think of cons from other peoples perspectives because the shape is perfect for my riding style
Shred Shack, could you guys do a review on some Rayne longboards? Would be so awesome.
Your content has been great, please keep going!
The board looks fun. I really appreciate that your reviews are actual reviews with useful information and not just video of you riding like so many other "reviews" are.
Thanks, I'm stoked to hear this. Just trying to create something I would want haha
Thanks for the video. Comparing the Bolsa with other Loaded decks was a brilliant idea, because it somehow puts the whole thing in perspective, I mean, people have been using Loaded decks together with Carver trucks for some time now, so my (candid) question is: does the Bolsa really bring anything new to the table?
I think the Bolsa deck definitely adds something new to the table. Is it significant enough if you already have a Loaded x Carver setup? Well, I think that's up to you to decide 😎
@@concrete-waves I actually do ride an Oma x CX, but maybe my expectations were too high because it's Loaded we're talking about. I was sort of hoping they'd drop a real gamechanger. (#storyofmylife ^^)
@@koaballero2794 Yeah I hear ya. It would've been really cool to see them innovate their trucks but I think that would've taken a long time... not to mention most surfskate designs are already patented. Instead, I think it was smart to do the collab with Carver
@@concrete-waves I was thinking more in terms of deck torsion or anything I haven't figured out, or I'd been working for them ^^
I started watching this channel because I wanted to start longboarding (I already had had a Penny nickel for 8 years). 7 months later I use my 41 inch longboard every day to get around Madrid. Great Job
That's awesome to hear. Love it!
Greetings from Vienna / Austria! I went through a bunch of boards, ending on the Coyote - best I've ever ridden - and use it, too, for rolling through Vienna.
Clean intros as always bro! 🔥🔥 Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Means a lot!
Been watching you sense 2k keep up the great work man
Ive been long boarding for years and just getting into surfs Kate. I just preordered this yesterday. Tnx for the review man!
Stoked to hear that! Enjoy it
You should try Avenue suspension trucks next! I would love to hear your honest opinion! I appreciate your truthfulness and it is why me and others watch. keep up the great work and kind regards from England.
Thanks Timmy! I will try to get to the Avenue suspension trucks at some point
I only took up longboarding when in my 50s. I have 8 very different boards ..cruisers, drop throughs, from loaded , arbour, landyaught.. .prob too many ? Nooo ! Learnt to pump the sea fronts where I live in England and I can do it ok but still have to foot push every 50 yards at least on the flat.....but OMG...when I got this cross over cruiser surfskate .. Loaded Bolsa Carver ....it was amazing ..can now... on the flat ...pump for as long as I want without foot pushing ...I've done 20 mins easily...and could do more just dependent on your energy levels ! It's ike this infinity vibe...someone saw me and thought I had an electric board ...you just have to learn the pump action well....twist your body starting from the shoulders through the hips to the legs then feet, like a golf swing, whilst leaning on each rail alternately frontside with toes , backside with heals , carving and trying to throw your weight forward ,and slightly facing forwards too and importantly to bend knees to alternatly lift or stand up, then squat down slightly at the end of each twist. Once you get that all working together ...suddenly you have this eureka moment. It takes a while but keep with it and you'll suddenly get it all together.😊 This board.. Fab surf graphic too....both helps keep fit ..and a relaxation vibe at the same time... therapy ! Satisfied, smiling and stoked. Mitch ...Kent
Thank you for your great review. Just bought one from your link. Love the shape of loaded board.
Thanks so much! I'm happy to help
Really respect your constant push for full transparency in your videos. Love you content and hope you keep it up!
Thanks! Just trying to improve the content so it's something I would want. Always hate when I find out the reviewers got something for free but they didn't disclose it
By the way was really looking forward to your follow up on having C5 trucks on the coyote.
I am taking a break from my OneWheel and I just ordered the blue Bolsa -- thx for your insight !
I own a coyote with Paris trucks. And for me, it is just too narrow to use with surfskate trucks.
I have a Yow Padang Padang, which is 10 inch wide, and for me- just about perfect in width.
When you place the decks side by side the Bolsa doesn’t seem to be that much wider than the Coyote.
The Omakase looks to be the perfect surfskate deck. Too bad is so heavy!
Thanks guys for your great videos! You made me pull the trigger on both the Yow and Coyote. Love them both! 🙂
Yeah, you're definitely right. There's not a huge difference between the Coyote and Bolsa (mostly the width & wheelbase options). If you already have the Coyote, I don't think it makes too much sense to get a Bolsa unless you really want that extra width and don't have another surfskate deck. I agree though... it would be awesome to see a wider version (similar to the Omakase) just not as heavy. Stoked to hear that though, thanks for watching the vids!
All your reviews are of great quality with solid explanation. Keep it up.
Now I get a feel to try CX & C7 on Omakase deck :) Nice video :) I liked the comparison of the decks & Bushings :)
Cool, thanks! Glad you liked those comparisons
Dude makes it easy to pick the board right for you not even kidding and he help me choose a dinghy that I was deciding to get or a longboard
Ayyy love hearing that. Thanks man! How you liking the Dinghy?
@@concrete-waves just go off work but it’s been a good experience so far but I keep falling off due to the fact it’s smaller than what I am used to but hey I’ll learn!
Keep it up man, haven't lost any of it!!
loaded decks always look 🔥
Yeah I agree! Thanks for dropping a comment and watching Connor
This one dude from the longboard community of MTL had one and let me try it i fell immediately
Wheelbite possible for 70mm wheel?
I didn't experience any wheelbite with the 70mm
Best quality videos on UA-cam 🤘🏼
Ayyyy appreciate ya Kyle!
Man all your vids make me want a Surfskate or a cruiser. Good vibes man.
Stoked to hear that man!
If it was a bit longer and wider then I'd be very interested. I hope more manufacturers come out with this type of deep concave instead of the surfboard inspired styles. Love my Orangatangs BTW.
Yeah totally understand that. Not for everyone! I agree though, I love the deck shape
Awesome review, it’s cool seeing more companies branch into surfskate!
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment. I definitely agree!
Strongly contemplating getting the Bolsa. I picked up longboarding during the pandemic and now that universities will open up again, this would be a nice way to ride to and from uni.
Nice! As long as you like the deck shape, then I think it'd be a solid uni commuter. Have you tried Carver trucks before? They're not super stable for commuting but it's possible
Thanks for the further info! Appreciate it. Unfortunately I've never tried them. But worst case, I swap them with my Paris V3s until I'm more familiar with them
@@marvinko6610 No prob. And yeah that's a solid idea
I put a Waterbourne adapter on my Omakase but its a bit too heavy, im considering the CX set up instead for surfskating
another great vid bro, can't wait till the next one
Appreciate it Liam! Means a lot
Have mine on order. But wait, it gets better. On FB marketplace, someone selling a carver skateboard with c7’s for $75 came up that I purchased to have both types of trucks to try out with the board.
So I thought of something you said after getting my bolsa. They probably will never sell the deck separately since it is a collaborative deal. It’s the only way they both make money off the deal.
awesome stuff as always guys! and definitely debating on wether or not i should get the bolsa, because its absolutely beautiful.
It's a beauty for sure! Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid
Just gonna leave this comment here for UA-cam’s algorithm. You make great content man keep it up
Haha appreciate that Jack! Yewwww
The Loaded Bolsa push me out in the pool. I loose contact with the board, cuz of these aggressive cutouts in the front. On flat ground and low speed, this board is perfect. Using CX trucks and ABEC wheels on this board.
Yeah I mainly just ride it on flat ground, low speed. What size abec wheels are you using? 65mm?
Nice review! :)
Love your information presentation! :)
Hey, I want to get surfskate and since I've always used loaded decks I was wondering which carver trucks should I choose. I've been pumping on loaded Icarus and cattail before but have never used specialized pumping trucks, just Paris V2/v3
I would suggest starting with the Carver CX since they pair well with almost all wheelbases. And if you want more pumpability from it, then pick up some Riptide CX bushings. I think that’s a good place to start
Excellent video! Looking to starting to surf skating or cruising (coming from esk8). This really helped out. Thanks amigo 👌🤙
Stoked to hear! Welcome to surfskating! I'm the opposite actually. Just getting into esk8s
@@concrete-waves thanks amigo 🙌🤙! Hahaha then welcome to the esk8 family 😎🤙🤙
If you have trouble with making custom setup with smoothstar, Yow teahupoo deck is great with the thruster 🤙
Okay cool. I probably just need to experiment more with it. Thanks for the suggestion
Need a Landyachtz Freedive & Landyachtz Ripper review. I'm trying to decide between a Loaded Omakase and the LY Ripper. Just found out about the LY Freedive, I'm kinda eying that one too. I already have a Tugboat with Independent trucks and 60mm OJ3's, wanting something that's more of a longboard style with reverse kingpin trucks but still a cruiser. Appreciate ya!
“Super solid.” Sounds like a winner!
haha yup! In my opinion, I think they nailed it
Great review! It’s really strange seeing such a young UA-cam channel with such good videos. Could you review the Landyatchz Dugout? I always see reviews for the dinghy but never the dugout and was wondering what it’s like.
Appreciate it Camren! Means a lot. Not sure if we'll get to the dugout but will definitely keep it in mind
I have a landyachtz Rally cat 34-inch longboard. Can i replace my longboard trucks with carver CX trucks to make it a surfskate. Rally cat deck looks almost same as bosla.
Appreciate your opinion
Shred shack never disappoints. Glad you have you around
Appreciate that. Glad to have you around too 😎
This vid was sick, keep it up.( btw, do bearing spacers make a huge difference when sliding?
Thanks for the great review.
Today I checked out this board at my local skateshop.
I noticed, that the front wheelflairs don't line up with the turn position of the carver cx truck. It looks like they would fit a rkp truck, but the carver cx overshoots the wheelflairs.
To me that was a deal breaker, since it's marketed to be designed around the carver trucks.
What's the point of wheelflairs, if they don't line up?!
Other than that it seemed pretty nice though.
Seems to line up with the c7's. I have one. Weird about the cx.
32" is a Good size! I am PERSONALLY Disappointed that LOADED got Away-From having a 'Flex-Based' Deck, after all, that''s "WHERE" I pointed them to engage & grow from, 20 years ago. And, gee, a 33", with a well-thought-thru bit-of-flex/camber could Really KILL IT on a Pump-Track!! I guess they've got new kids on the block? "Pre-School Rider" from NCDSA, and Stratton's parking garage.. HYRC, gimme back my Joy-Ride Proto deck!? Yetz should get it again, as a Momento...
Thanks for the video. I really enjoy your surfskate videos specifically. I was thinking of buying a cx or c7 surfskate and putting it on my sector 9 strand storm and your video helped out a lot. Could you possibly make a video on a sector 9 board?
Thanks Loki, I appreciate hearing that. Yes, I will be getting to a Sector 9 board in the future
Sick review as always
Appreciate it Thomas!
Nice review man
Thanks, I appreciate that
Amazing videos. Would you mind reviewing the carver super slab cx if you can??
Great review and I ordered the CX Bolsa via your link right after watching this. Would love to have your thoughts on Major Arc trucks though and if they make a decent setup?
I'm an intermediate surfer who's away from the ocean for a bit so I want to invest in a surfskate to specifically improve surfing maneuvers with a bit of commuting short distances
I've found a lot of contradicting information online when picking a surfkstate but I've narrowed it down to the Smoothstar Toledo 31.5" and Loaded Bolsa CX.
I know they say Smoothstar is a 'better' surf trainer while Loaded's wheel wells seem to have people divided on comfort but I do love Loaded's overall board quality typically
I weigh about 155-160lbs depending and 5'6 in height
Any advice?
I realy like your awesome reviews. One small detail I am interested in: do you know whether Yow Snappers Deck is heavier than the new Bolsa and how much?
I believe it is but I'm not 100% sure. The Snappers deck is slightly longer and wider
Looks quite a bit like a Yago Dora Skinny Goat. Great review as always :)
Yeah it does kind of look like that one. Thanks for watching Karl!
I'm starting to run out of ways to praise you guys ....
Haha you deserve the praise for consistently showing up and supporting. Appreciate it!
@@concrete-waves always gotta support talent and hard work 🤙
Would you say that it's comfortable to kick/push on the CX set up? My Yow Pipe gets a little sketchy if I try to get a little speed up by kicking. I love this deck shape and would like a surf skate more suitable for short distances and can kick like a traditional skateboard.
This board looks so rad, I just ordered the cx this morning - I've never rode a surfskate before, been thinking about an additional board for a while, and when I saw this last night I just felt compelled to go for it
Nice Tristan! I think you're really going to like the CX setup. I've been having a blast on it
great review, thx! Would they also go well with C5? I have a set lying around. Hopefully they will provide decks only at some time, like you mentioned.
Hi guys I have a question, I have for a year now a dinghy and I love it but I want a sharper carvier feel so I am thinking about getting a carver. is there really a big difference in feel ? Can you power slide a carver ?
Hey, I think I'm answering your questions over IG dms, right? If not, let me know and I'll help ya out
@@concrete-waves yea you are talking to me
Yuhh another great vid 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Thanks! Really appreciate that
Dope intro as always :)
Appreciate ya Adish! Thanks
Hey nice work as always. Quick question, I've currently got Carver C5's on an 18" WB Alva deck. I'm considering moving to a smaller WB for my surfskate park setup. I also have an Omakase/ Yow (favorite board!) and know how short/ subtle the tail on that is.
Do you think the Bolsa has has a big enough / steep enough tail to use as a surfskate meant for the park & perching up for a drop in?
How’s the CX setup for someone who’s mainly been riding a YOW Meraki (Pukas Dark) and Smoothstar (Toledo #77)?
I wanted to get something that’s surfy yet easier to cruise with when I want something more compact than my longboards. YOW and Smoothstar are just exhausting for me after about a mile.
Love the video man! I just had to part with my dinghy and trying to decide whether to buy another dinghy or get the Bolsa CX. I love carving and do a few speed checks here and there just to keep things safe. Do you think I should give the CX a shot over the dinghy?
Thanks man! Hmmm, that's a tough one to compare. They're two completely different decks. If you want something carvier, then the Bolsa CX would make sense. The Bolsa isn't something you'll easily be able to do ollies/flip tricks on. Just depends on what type of riding you wanna do (sorry if you were looking for a definitive answer lol)
Loaded isn't just the name of the board company , it's also a description of it's customers
you made a fair review mate🤙🏼, I have a booster carver, is it possible that we just purchase a deck in loaded, If they sale it would be great
Great review! 😀
Thanks Angie! Hope you enjoy your new board
Long term wise will the extra screw holes cause stress cracks?
How are you so fast, board literally came out yesterday 😭
Haha they sent it to us in advance, so we've been riding it for a bit and had some time
Oooh I was waiting for a Carver Black Tip but this looks interesting too! How would you say the concave compares to the Carver Hyperspoon molds?
Nice Jae! The Black Tip looks like an awesome surfskate setup. It honestly looks pretty similar to the Hyperspoon molds, although I can't say for sure because I haven't tested those molds yet.
Big ups two hands down
Hi, I've got a small question. How would compare the Carver C7 trucks with Yow or Smoothstar? I'm asking this because they all have the pivot arm (is that what they're even called???) in common. Which one is your choice among the 3?
Yeah, check out this video where I cover the differences - ua-cam.com/video/B-1ktsF8cK4/v-deo.html
Carver is more lowkey compared to YOW or Smoothstar. Although for my riding style, I enjoy riding YOW the most. I love the deeper, springy feeling it offers.
love ur vids
Thanks so much, really appreciate that
What do you mean by smoothstar just wont fit on the bolsa?
Is it good for small hill like i got a small hill that i go maximum 34km/h
Im a intermediate in surf skate any affordable boards that are aggressive turning?
Any hint on where I could find a Bolsa C7 in stock?
I still prefer the poke board, just put carver trucks on it. I'm looking at carver boards now, just gotta choose one, not ready when they have like 30 if them. Looking at the resin, black tip, or origin.
Nice Alvaro, why do you prefer the Poke? It's on my list to test... been trying to get my hands on one for a bit
@@concrete-waves the shape, I've loved that deck since it was the fish, then the ceviche. I like the poke deck over all their other cruiser type board shapes, this surf skate , the omakase.
In your honest opinion, would you prefer this deck over and actual carver deck? Steve at surfskate love said he would prefer the carver deck over the poke and his bowl riding video has me eyeing a carver black tip
Really solid, intelligent and useful review! My mate has a shop here and is trying to sell me one....you just sold it for him! LOL Stay safe! :-)
Nice video. What do you think of the Gullwing Sidewinder II trucks?
For the price, the Gullwings are very solid. They offer a more side-to-side lean and they're harder to pump compared to other surfskate spring adapters out there. Overall though, I'd recommend them if they fit your riding style
hey! can you guys review the arbor pocket rocket cruiser? it's supposed to be a similar size to a skateboard with qualities of a longboard. thanks!
I'm not sure if we'll get to the pocket rocket since the components are very similar to the Pilsner, however if you have any specific questions, I'm happy to help out
Practical differences between orange and blue orang wheels? Can't make up my mind on which choose
They're honestly pretty similar. But if you want to throw slides eventually, the 80as (orange) are gonna make more sense. But from a riding feel perspective... very similar
Where did you get your board racks?
Awesome review! somone know if atf bones rough terrain slides weel? i am building a all terrain skate, and the a wheel that can slide and do tricks is very hard to find i my country
Thanks for watching! That is a good question, I'm not too sure. Hopefully someone can help you
I want a loaded tarab damn it! LOL
Lol looks like they're gonna start stocking those again soon
Longboard bearing comparison?
can you try to mount smoothstar thruster on bolsa, and have a review on it...
@@concrete-waves surely subribers would wait for that. so far I think smoothstar still on the top the game until now for surfskate, no brand have surpass yet for surfskate training since its capable of 285° radius turn nothing come close to. but if your just after for carving carver rigth next to it..
Maybe add a popsicle shaped skateboard as a comparison so people who have none of the products mentioned they at least have a more rudimentary base to go off of?
You guys are doing such a great job !!!😍
Appreciate it Shane! Thanks man. You're crushing it - keep it up
Now to find the legendary poke.
The Poke is definitely on my list to test. Been wanting to try that for a while now
So freaking awesome
Am i wrong or this Bolsa with CX trucks seems perfect for bowl riding?
It‘s not. You loose contact this the front foot in the verts.
How does is work in a bowl or skatepark? I have a beloved Loaded Omakase with Waterborne Adapters and although fun, it's not the perfect fit for the bowl - but this looks like it might be perfect for surfskating in a skatepark or bowl! Any thoughts? Thanks!
I haven't tested it in a bowl yet but I think it would be pretty solid because it's more stable compared to the Waterborne. The Omakase deck shape seems good for bowl riding though. Is the issue that the Waterborne is too aggressive?
@@concrete-waves It's very tall and has so much lean (which on the street I absolutely love), and with the rear adapter on it catches on the coping (not that I'm doing any of that, but I let other more experienced skaters try it out). Aside from the coping issue it's hard for me to judge, but I don't feel as comfortable on it (yet?) because of the aggressive lean, I feel like I'm going to fall if I get up too high on the wall. Plus it's heavy and awkward. But I'm a bowl beginner, so my big purchase was the Bolsa CX. I don't love it in general, but the CX does seem to work well in the bowl, which is my immediate goal. It's hard to ignore all the naysayers, but then I show them the surfskate videos and they're like, oooohhh, maybe you CAN surfskate in the bowls! SMH Thanks for all your videos.
@@rhondafosbinder644 Hi Rhonda, how is it going with the Bosa in the bowl? I'm on the same path, have an Obfive cruiser with Waterborne and it feels a bit sketchy in the bowl, I'm a beginner too. Does the Bosa with CX work well for you?
