Nidecker Venus Plus Women's Snowboard
Ideal for women who want to ride anything and everything
The Venus Plus takes everything that's loved about the award-winning Venus, then turns things up a notch for more advanced riders needing extra power for slashes, sprays and sends.
It starts with the same blunt Venus outline with 10mm setback stance, but then significantly increases the reactivity and pop of the original by shifting to a positive camber profile. This increases the power and drive you can put into your turn and along with a little more stiffness built into the construction, thanks to the elevated Light Core, gives tons of snap when loading it up for ollies.
They've upgraded the base to N-7000 Sintruded material so that it can carry more speed over all snow types. We all dream of deep bluebird days, but the Venus Plus is for riders that want to make the most from any conditions. Slash, hard pack, chop, and pow are all well within its wheelhouse.
Just like the original, this is a true all mountain rocket ship. It's a quiver killer for women who like to start a day in the side country, maybe practice some carves on the piece, then finish up in the park. It requires more precision than the Venus, but if you want to take your riding to the next level, this is what you need.
Shape & Profile
- Directional Shape
- Camber Profile - Positive Camber is the bedrock for performance snowboards. Its extra grip and powerful response have made it the default choice for riders looking for optimum carving performance. The secret to our advanced camber is the addition of 8 to 10 cm flat transitions at the contact points, delivering the ultimate in precision, edge hold and stability.
- Flex 7/10
- Terrain: Resort 4/4, Pow 4/4, Park 3/4
Technology
- Premium Sandwich Construction - the next level of performance and responsiveness, adding advanced materials like Carbon and Kevlar® makes the board better and more shock absorbing
- 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 Topsheets - an innovative topsheet has been developed to absorb unwanted vibrations for a smooth ride
- Triax Plus Fiberglass - Triaxial 45° lamination features varying density of fiberglass for consistent torsional flex, stronger pop and increased response in every arc
- Master Core - a perfect harmony of different materials, densities and varieties of wood, resulting in an excellent weight-to-performance ratio, an extra strong and extremely sensitive core
- N-7000 Base - developed exclusively for Nidecker, the N-7000 is an extremely tough, sintruded base with added carbon nanoparticles that provide exceptional glide
- Pop Carbon Plus - Pop Carbon Plus means use of a double amount of Pop Carbon, placed on both sides of the core and running tip to tail, which creates twice the amount of pop and liveliness

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.
