Characteristics of the Nidcker Ora

With an upgraded shape, the ever-popular Venus is equipped for a new generation of women to tackle the whole mountain. We’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, we’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 our 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.

Model construction

The key to this model is the full wood core and mid-soft flex, perfect for mastering the perfect turn or doing your first tricks in the park. The standard Camrock profile offers the best of both worlds: camber between the feet for responsiveness, and extended rocker towards the tip and tail, which makes it harder to grab the edges and improves the ride in deep snow. The directional twin shape provides optimal performance in your regular position, but is still fun to ride on switch, making the Ora the only board you need, whatever the conditions.

Nidecker Snowboards - The first snowboard company in Europe

In 1984, the Nidecker company starts the production of snowboards with the assumption that they will be the best boards in the world. It is the first company in Europe and the second in the world after Burton. Today - after years - the mission has not changed - to be the best in the industry. Nidecker is one of the first snowboard brands to exist since the sport first appeared in the world. It is the first European manufacturer of snowboards. The company has a 125-year history of creating its own products in its own factory, a qualified team of engineers working all year round together with a team of riders to develop the best possible technical solutions for snowboarding. The location of the factory in the heart of Switzerland means that the development team has convenient access to some of the best mountains in the world to test all products in all conditions.

Since '84, the company's products have won numerous awards and distinctions for their quality and innovation in the industry. Numerous trade magazines and sports organizations around the world have recognized Nidecker as an industry leader for several decades. Recent awards to the company include the 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award EUROSIMA, presented to Henry Nidecker Sr. for his long-term contribution to the development of snowboarding, 2010 Breakthrough Brand Award for the launch of YES Snowboard, Jones Snowboard and Slash by Gigi brands.
