The \u003cb\u003eLiteside\u003c\/b\u003e is not. It takes the shape of Raptor's best-selling Darkside and rebuilds it around a softer layup and a lighter core, because flex is what actually changes how a board rides for a lighter rider — a stiff board simply will not bend under someone who does not weigh enough to load it. Soften it and the board comes alive at the speeds you actually ride at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eKey Technical Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eERC 1 Core Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e A softer, more forgiving build than the Darkside's. Landings absorb instead of jarring, and the board flexes properly under a lighter rider rather than skipping across the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFeather Infused Hybrid Core:\u003c\/b\u003e The lightness comes from the core, not from thinning the board out — which matters when you are the one lifting it in and out of the boat all day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRemovable Centre Fin:\u003c\/b\u003e In for tracking and control while you are learning to hold an edge. Out when you want the board loose and skatey across the flats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProgressive 3 Stage Rocker:\u003c\/b\u003e Holds speed through the middle and releases off the wake — predictable pop rather than a board that either drags or launches you sideways.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBi-Axial Layered Glass:\u003c\/b\u003e Glass laid in two directions, so the board resists twist as well as bend and the edge feel stays consistent as it wears in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTST Top Seam Rails:\u003c\/b\u003e Raptor's rail construction, joining deck to base along the top seam — the join that takes the hit on every flat landing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThis is a beginner-to-intermediate board and it is genuinely good at that job. If you are learning to get up, hold an edge and start crossing the wake, the softer flex forgives the landings you have not quite dialled in yet. Three sizes, 130, 134 and 138cm. Honest limit: if you are already stomping wake-to-wake and want a board that holds a hard cut, the stiffer Darkside or Severance will give you more back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBuy Now at Welcome Board Store for the best in authentic Wake gear and apparel.
