New Women's Nidecker Venus snowboard | Size: 143

With an upgraded shape, the ever-popular Venus is equipped for a new generation of women to tackle the whole mountain. They've given it a blunter, directional silhouette with a 10 mm set back stance that makes it easier to surf through deep snow but which is versatile enough for some switch riding if you like to get creative on side hits or take a few laps through the park. Under the hood, they've kept the same Master Core and paired it with a Standard Camrock profile which makes for lively response without feeling too twitchy as you switch edges. Triax glassing and their unique Absorbnid topsheet keep it feeling stable at high speeds, with minimal chatter. For experienced women who like to shred anything in their path, the Venus offers a fully spec’d quiver killer at a great price. FEATURES PREMIUM SANDWICH: This next level construction steps up the power and response of their standard sandwich manufacturing. Adding advanced materials like Carbon and Kevlar gives the board more pop and improved shock absorption. ABSORBNID: Absorbnid is an innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. This allows us to develop responsive, dynamic boards that still give you a smooth and fatigue free ride. INSERTS: 4/2-5. With 5 rows of inserts every 2 cm, this combination is the industry standard and works with all bindings on the market. Their reference stance is the middle position. TRIAX PLUS: The result of extensive testing with their riders and engineers, their 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. MASTER CORE: The Master Core construction is a product of their 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. BASE: N-5000. The N-5000 is their universal base. It’s designed to absorb wax to retain it longer. Exceptionally durable, this base will take you anywhere. 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. Its vibration dampening qualities make it ideal for more aggressive riding in all conditions.
