Venture usually has 4 boards in their line but in 2011 they dropped their ultra powder board called the Euphoria and went down to 3. For 2012 Venture brought back a 4th called the Venture Odin. The Odin has some similarities to the old Euphoria but more differences. The bottom line is this is a great board with solid float. It’s a very off the tail surfy kind of ride.

Venture Odin In Depth Review
It has that powder shape similar to the Euphoria but has a lot less of a set back (-40mm vs -75mm) and less of a taper (11mm vs 21mm). This is still a surfy ride but no where near as surfy as the old euphoria. It still has more taper and setback than the Storm for those who want a little more of a surfy ride but it’s no Euphoria. To us with the Flat/Rocker tech you really don’t have to be that far back on the tail to get the same float so this is a good call. Venture seems to hide in Colorado and doesn’t even market to the rest of the US which sucks but they make some of the best freeride boards out there. The detail in the craftsmanship is exceptional and their split boards seem to have the best construction of the US boards.
