The Venus Plus takes the best of Nidecker's award-winning Venus and turns it up a notch. The same versatile shape is paired with a stiffer flex and a full camber profile that turbo charges response. Drive harder through turns, pop higher into ollies and spring quicker from edge to edge. An upgraded base and the lightest core in our line add even more speed and agility. From park to powder, from icy groomers to slush, it's a true all-mountain rocket ship.

SHAPE

• Directional: With over 50 years of proven performance, directional shapes have a significantly longer nose than tail. They excel at floating through powder and offer better glide, carving and stability in variable snow.
• Camber Profile: Positive Camber is the industry standard for performance snowboards. From tip to tail the board is effectively spring-loaded, helping the whole edge maintain contact with the snow and delivering lively response. Our camber is more advanced, adding an 8 to 10 cm flat transition at the contact points for the ultimate in precision, grip and stability.

CONSTRUCTION

• Premium Sandwich: A step up from Nidecker's standard sandwich construction that adds carbon stringers for more pop, quicker edge response and improved shock absorption.
• Absorbnid Topsheet: An innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. Enjoy a smooth ride with less fatigue.
• Inserts: 5 rows of inserts at 2 cm intervals is the industry standard pattern and works with any binding on the market.
• Triax Plus Fiberglass: Fiberglass is woven in three directions at 45° for maximum stiffness. The result of extensive testing with our riders and engineers, Triax Plus uses different glass densities above and below the core to deliver more consistent torsional flex, better pop, and lightning response.
• Master Core: Nidecker's Master Core is the culmination of decades of experimentation in materials and woodcraft. Two species of wood (poplar and paulownia) are combined to give the best of all worlds: light, strong and responsive.
• N-7000 Base: Developed exclusively for Nidecker, the N-7000 has all the durability and low-maintenance glide of an extruded base but is as hard as a sintered base. They call it sintruded. You'll call it fast.
• Pop Carbon: Carbon fiber is positioned between the inserts and the nose and tail – boosting ollie power and dampening chatter.
