Nidecker Venus Plus Snowboard - Women'sby Nidecker

Product Info

Nidecker isn’t the most well known brand in North America, but they have been building some of the best snowboards in the world for a long time now. Based in Switzerland, Nidecker has been a leader in snowboard design and construction in Europe. So much so that brands like Jones, YES, and Slash partnered with them when striking out on their own. The Venus Plus is the big sister to the popular and shop favorite Venus. With a stiffer flex and full camber profile the Venus Plus is built to go faster and handle steeper terrain with the confidence an advanced rider is looking for. The Venus Plus is built almost identical to the Venus with the mild setback stance, multi-species wood core, a little carbon, but with a faster and harder base in a directional package making this a versatile all-mountain board that carves the way a snowboard should carve and is fun in the powder to boot. And you get all that at a price that others just can’t compete with. It looks pretty wicked too.

Type of terrain: All mountain

Ability Level: Intermediate, Advanced

We recommend this for:

The intermediate to advanced rider who wants to focus on all-mountain carving mixed with some powder days and possible side hits. 

Technical Features

Directional Shape

Directional shape is the classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop and power in the tail while providing plenty of float in powder. A softer nose allows for a smoother roll into your carve, while a stiffer waist to tail provides better control through the turn and a stronger finish.

Camber

Full camber profiles are ideal for powerful turns and poppy precision. They offer a snappy suspension with weight distributed evenly across the entire board for smooth, continuous edge control from tip to tail. The support and snap you get from a cambered board is unrivaled by any other camber design.

Flex Rating

The flex of the Venus Plus comes in above middle of the road at a 7/10 flex. The increase of flex from the standard Venus added with the full camber profile make the Venus Plus a more challenging board to ride, requiring more input from the rider. 

Skill Level

The Nidecker Venus Plus is ideal for a solid advanced rider. The Venus can be a great option for an intermediate rider who is looking for a board they can grow and progress with into an advanced rider.

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.

Master Core

The Master Core construction is a product of Nicecker's long history of experimentation in materials and woodcraft. It's the perfect harmony of different wood densities and varieties (poplar, beech, spruce, and paulownia), resulting in a superior weight-to-performance-to power ratio, and an ultra-strong, extra-responsive, lightweight core.

Triax Plus Glass

The Triax laminate is oriented at 45° to the board, and contains different glass densities. This provides consistent torsional flex, better pop, and more reactivity on every turn.

Pop Carbon

Strategic placement of carbon fiber from the tail to the rear inserts, and from the nose to the front inserts, resulting in a more reactive board, with increased pop and stiffness. The vibration dampening qualities make it ideal for more aggressive riding in all conditions.

Absorbnid Topsheet

Absorbnid is an innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. This allows for a more responsive, dynamic board that will still give you a smooth and fatigue free ride.

Carving Machine

This deck is built on the direct roots of the Nidecker's carving lineage. Lay it out and feel the centrifugal force build.
