9" Wide Shape – Loaded collectively decided that this new 9" wide shape (the old Dervish was 8.5") with a different neck curvature provided a satisfactory balance of comfort, edge control, and responsiveness.

Dervish Sama Concave – A more pronounced concave profile is further augmented by the increased deck width. The result is improved edge feel for turn initiation and extra control while sliding.

Nose & Tail Kicks – To keep up with the current caliber of freestyle riding, Loaded gave the Dervish the most tasteful of nosejobs. After testing several new shapes and sizes, they lengthened the tips for additional leverage, widened the neck to increase durability and ensure a consistent flex pattern through the entire deck, and added subtle kicks to increase pop and lock your feet in. The kicks are reinforced with an extra layer of fiberglass for added stiffness and durability.

6-Piece Symmetrical Griptape – The two sections at the kicks use an aggressive, rougher-grit grip to provide enhanced control and security for manuals and freestyle kicks. The four middle sections use a milder, finer-grit grip (compatible to street skate grip) to facilitate dancing and footwork maneuvers.
