23/24 · 22/23 · 21/22 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Nidecker Odyssey is a tapered directional freeride board with setback camber and a rockered nose. Powder rates 4.5/5 and carving 4/5, and fast turn entry makes it fun without pushing the speed up much.
On the other hand switch and jibbing aren't a fit and glide is limited. It suits intermediate-to-advanced riders wanting one board for mixed snow.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A hybrid with setback positive camber and rocker rising gently toward the nose (Nidecker calls it Surfy CamRock). A tapered directional shape — surfy in character, while camber holds things down underfoot.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. Stiff enough to hold stability at speed while turns come round quickly. Its character comes alive without needing much speed.
