Anyone ridden a Venture Euphoria?

I just did a Google search for 'Best powder snowboard' and found the Venture Euphoria. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience riding these type of shapes.

Hi Morgan;

That's quite a board... It's basically Johan's model.

He rides it bindingless and that's how I rode it, myself. It's very fast and, with its reverse sidecut, likes to sit on top of the snow, planing very early.

I don't know how it would act on hard snow... I can't imagine it would be that great, but if it's strictly powder you want it for, and you like speed, you'll enjoy it, I'm sure. As a company, Venture is one I'd support, if I were buying.

That's cool, thanks for the feedback. I looked at that Noboard pad. It looks like there are 4 or 5 inches of stance variability. Is it easy to move your feet around? I imagine it can be like surfing in booties with a fresh wax job, hard to get the feet unstuck.
