For all mountain shred sessions

By Cecilia Meyer January 19, 2009

First impressions of this board is that it is very well made. The wood grain top sheet under a layer of ptex looks very high end. Combine this with the fact that Venture builds its boards in an eco friendly facility using sustainably harvested wood, and the board looks like a winner right out of the box. I chose this particular board because I wanted a stiffer, all-mountain flex pattern that would float well in pow and still allow for spins. It's not a board for the deepest days, but it handles a foot of fresh with no issues. When things start to get a bit tracked out, this board becomes a real weapon. It excels at dropping a sketchy line through chop at full speed, and pushing into the untracked fresh that no one else can reach. Once you get to the goods, it spins as well as park boards and has enough tail to ride out switch, even in the deep stuff. I expect this to be my go-to board for all-moutain shred sessions for some time to come.
