Loaded Dervish Sama 42 Longboard Deck
Sama is the Whirling Dervish ceremony focusing on active meditation as a tool for the individual's spiritual journey.
In 2007 we introduced the Dervish: our first venture into drop-through construction and an opportunity to create a flexy, versatile, bamboo composite carver. Over the last five years, riders have used the Dervish to shape modern carving and longboard freestyle. These riding evolutions have inspired our design journey, culminating in the latest incarnation: the Dervish Sama.
Featuring a slightly wider platform and more pronounced concave than its predecessor, the Dervish Sama offers enhanced comfort, responsiveness, and edge control for carving and sliding. Subtle upturned nose and tail kicks increase pop and lock your feet in for freestyle tricks. A six-piece griptape pattern uses coarser grip at the kicks for extra control and mellower grip across the standing platform for comfortable and inappropriate footsie action. We’ve also introduced a third flex rating to allow more riders to dial in their ideal balance of comfort and liveliness.
