Ty Johns's review
If you want to optimize fun on a pow day, this is your board. Bringing back the old school build with a flat rocker profile will rock your world. I’ve seriously never had more fun on deep days, a perfect flex alongside a snappy receptive board to slash every wall or butter any drop. Floats incredibly well and within a few turns it feels like a board you’ve ridden for years… it just makes sense!! While capable everywhere it isn’t always the best on edge in hardback - so this is a quiver board not a one stop shop. Also, this is handmade in the USA - and not many brands can even fathom bringing craftsmanship stateside. A+ on durability, these bases never delam and are pretty dang tough. Check out the venture website to see what they are up to in silverton!
