The Venture Odin is the result of a close collaboration between legendary rider Johan Olofsson (check out his part in TB5 on You Tube!) & Venture's founder & design engineer, Klemens Branner. Dubbed Odin after the Norse god of war & wisdom, this big mountain beast is a nod to its creators' Viking roots & is the ideal choice for hard charging freeriders who like to pull out all the stops. Tailored to Olofsson's riding style & preferred terrain, the Odin combines all mountain precision with powder specific features for uncompromising performance across the full range of big mountain conditions. Moderate sidecut delivers wide arching turns & quadratic sidecuts offer plenty of grip, while a rockered shape & serious stance offset promise plenty of float when Mother Nature gives up the goods. Unleash the power of the Odin in the gnarliest conditions & watch it dominate.

Venture make their own poplar/ash composite cores, producing lightweight boards without sacrificing durability, resilience, or performance. Poplar lends lightweight strength, while ash provides impact resistance & durability. Venture incorporate ash strips at the edge & under the inserts, where impact & stress are greatest. This strengthens the areas that take the most abuse, & translates into better edge hold on icy slopes. Full-length wood laminates
- no finger joints & no off axis grains
- ensure even & consistent flex from tip to tail, & a core that won't break down over time. Quadratic sidecut: Helps distribute pressure evenly on the snow, resulting in increased stability. It loads the board further from the waist than circular/radial sidecuts, enabling you to achieve smooth, solid turns. Triaxial fibreglass: Fibreglass is aligned with the direction of torsional stress, resulting in superior torsional stiffness & rock solid edge hold. Perfect on a rockered board.P-Tex sidewall:A tough-as-nails material that provides bombproof durability, & increases the life of the board so it can be ridden for several seasons without a loss in performance. Durasurf sintered base: Extremely durable base with outstanding wax absorption properties for a slick, fast ride. Inlaid base graphics: Boards with inlaid base graphics have an advantage over printed graphics because with inlay, the base material bonds directly with the other components, rather than with a weak layer of ink. The result is a more durable & attractive base. Because Venture swap the spare parts from one base with those from another, they are able to use materials more efficiently & eliminate waste. Mellow Rocker profile: Flat in the middle with subtle lift on the tip & tail, it delivers a more playful, surfy feel while maintaining rock solid edge hold.
