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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRocker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased 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.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlex\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlex Rating(1=Soft, 10=Stiff) - 4\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePU 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaminates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFibreglass 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharper 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWider 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced Sidewall Thickness - The reduced sidewall density helps keep the ski agile and your turns tighter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcave\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth - 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-tuned layering for explosive acceleration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLevel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiding Ability: Beginner\/Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSki Type: Free-Ski\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSki Speeds: 20-34Mph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(59″) – 25Kgs to 45Kgs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Year Manufacturer Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Raptor","offers":[{"title":"59\"","offer_id":50790467272951,"sku":"Raptor Recess Kids Slalom Waterski Blank 2027 59\"","price":649.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/9556\/1078\/files\/recess.jpg?v=1787726811","url":"https:\/\/skiforce.com\/products\/raptor-recess-kids-slalom-waterski","provider":"Skiforce Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
