2027 Raptor Recess w/ Recess Boot + ARTP

The Raptor Recess is where the stoke starts, first single ski, first little victories, and that first real obsession with being out on the water. Built for those early days behind the boat, the Recess is all about making learning feel easy, exciting, and something kids can’t wait to do again. It’s stable, forgiving, and super smooth at slower speeds, helping young skiers feel comfortable from the very first pull. It’s not just a “learner ski.” The Recess has enough performance built in to let kids keep progressing with confidence as their skills grow. The width is carefully matched to the ski length, giving younger riders better balance, control, and stability exactly where they need it most. Fun, confidence-building, and designed to grow with them. This is the ski that turns first rides into a lifelong love for skiing. The Raptor Recess is Built on the same platform as Raptor's adult Capital boot. The junior version features a smaller plate and specially sized footbed designed to suit the comfort, support, and performance needs of younger skiers. Waterski Features Rocker Continuous Rocker - A continuous rockerline through the tip and tail of the ski provides a considerably more stable and forgiving feel in transitions from edge to edge in the build-up to the apex of your cut, while without a flat spot, there is no longer a pivot point allowing for reduced sticking points and allows for consistency and comfort both on your on and off-side Increased Flat Spot - Increased the sweet spot from your front foot to halfway down the back, providing a bigger sweet spot, a more predictable feel from your ski, providing greater drive through the ski, and increased hold and angle in turns. Flex Flex Rating(1=Soft, 10=Stiff) - 4/10 Core PU Core - The most well-known core in waterski's, it is a durable, slightly softer material meaning you can ski for longer and not feel as tired while also getting more flex into turns and less rebound when crossing the wash. Laminates Fibreglass Laminates – The most forgiving top layer you can get, a simple fibreglass laminate allows the ski to provide a comfortable flex and smooth arcing turns. Shape Sharper Edge Geometry – A new edge bevel allows for comfort coming into edges without sacrificing the ability to get plenty of angle into turns, making sure at every point of your cut you're comfortable. Wider For-body – an increased in width in the for-body of the ski not only creates stability but also allows you to stand over the top of the ski with more confidence before heading into your turns. Reduced Tail Width - Allows the ski to drift in the tail mid-turn and stay planted all at once, giving you more angle in your turn. Reduced Sidewall Thickness - The reduced sidewall density helps keep the ski agile and your turns tighter. Concave Full Edge-to-Edge Concave - a full concave throughout the whole width of the ski creates a fluid motion and greatly supports your cut, allowing you to focus on where you want to place the ski. Depth - Increased depth throughout the entire length of the ski creates more lift and support while also adding greater volume; this, in turn, translates to greater push on the outer bevels of the ski and an easier ability to pivot into your edges and a tighter turn radius Other Features: Precision-tuned layering for explosive acceleration Level Riding Ability: Beginner/Intermediate Ski Type: Free-Ski Ski Speeds: 20-34Mph Size (59″) – 25Kgs to 45Kgs Warranty 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty Boot Features Flex Mid Flex Fit Soft Upper - Easy entry so no fighting to get in Liner & Lacing Plush foam liner - Comfort from the minute you step into the boot, designed to hug your foot like a second skin adding support Ergonomic EVA Footbed - Designed to give you all the comfort you need underfoot Dual Zone Lacing - Elastic upper for movement, static lower for hold Baseplate RX chassis - Stable and supportive underfoot Warranty 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty
