Nidecker Venus Plus Women's Snowboard
A board full of love for the mountains
The Nidecker Venus Plus takes the base of the award-winning Venus and takes it to the next level – to suit more experienced and adventurous riders who aren't afraid to send it full blast down the hill.
Stance moved back ten millimetres, camber flex, the lightest core and an increase in board responsiveness and pop is a certainty. You can put more power into your turns and riding in general and enjoy more intense action. A slightly stiffer board than the classic Venus model also has less weight, giving you snap in the ollies. Speed on all types of snow is taken care of by the N-7000 base.
This is why the Venus Plus is the ideal board for any slope conditions. Simply a true all-mountain racquet that requires more precise control, but will reward you many times over.
Specifications & Shape
- Flex: medium stiff 3/4
- Destination: Resort 4/4, Pow 4/4, Park 3/4
- Carving Machine - a label that warns you that this board is a high-performance carving machine. Jump in and feel its power!
- Directional shape - inserts moved further back allow the nose to be raised for easy turning and floating in deep snow.
- Camber Profile – thanks to full camber from tip to tail, the board is cushioned during carving and the entire edge remains in contact with the snow.
- 1% For The Planet - Nidecker sends 1% of sales directly to non-profit organizations fighting climate change.
Technology
- Premium Sandwich construction – another level of performance and responsiveness. By adding carbon reinforcements, the board has more pop, faster edge response and excellent shock absorption.
- 4×2/5 Inserts - this combination of inserts allows you to adjust your posture to the optimal position. With five rows of inserts spaced 2cm apart, it will work for all bindings on the market.
- Absorbnid Topsheet – an innovative topsheet has been developed to absorb unwanted vibrations for a smooth ride.
- Triax Plus Fiberglass Lamination – The triaxial 45° lamination contains varying density of fiberglass for consistent torsional flex, stronger pop and increased response in every turn.
- Master Core - the perfect harmony of paulownia and poplar leads to an excellent weight-to-performance ratio, an extra strong and extremely responsive core.
- N-7000 Base – a special base designed for Nidecker that is as durable and easy to maintain as an extruded base, but has the hardness of a sintered one. You can call it "sintruded". Or just fast.
- Pop Carbon – strategic placement of carbon fiber between inserts and from tip to tail for stronger response, pop and stiffness. Thanks to its ability to dampen vibrations, it is ideal for more aggressive riding.
- Premium Design - the board has a matte surface, contains 3D graphic elements that reveal the construction and save the amount of ink used. By layering, graphics gain unmistakable depth and texture.

How to choose a snowboard
When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
The Length of the Snowboard
The length of the snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is still expected to grow, the size should be chosen between the chin and the nose. For freestyle you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could make you oversteer in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to transition into a turn and is generally harder to control.
Weight of the Rider
Each snowboard has a specific weight tolerance - the range of minimum and maximum rider weight. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider is within this weight tolerance or not. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not flex enough in the turn, will not ride the full length of the effective edge and will not take advantage of the board's characteristics. Riders weighing above the weight tolerance risk overloading the snowboard or damaging it.
If you're not sure if the snowboard you've chosen suits your weight, ask us!
The Width of the Snowboard
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. It is important that the rider does not reach the toes or heels of the boots to the slope when riding in an arc. Riders with a boot size of UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide versions of snowboards. With such a board they will be able to cut arcs without grinding the slope with their toes. There are also snowboards in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really big feet) versions.
Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility) of the Snowboard
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead. Not sure how stiff your snowboard is? Ask us!
Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Types of Snowboard Bends
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of bend, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid bends such as 3D camber, double camber etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat shape with almost zero flex provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid flex is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard maintenance: base and edge care.
