A 59in ski matched to a US 2-4 boot — the setup that lets a kid actually drop a ski, instead of fighting an adult 67in that won't come up under them.

2027 Raptor Recess Slalom Ski | Their First Single Ski
Dropping a ski is the biggest jump in waterskiing, and doing it on Dad's 67in is why so many kids never get there. The Recess is a 59in slalom ski built for that transition — the shortest and most accessible ski in Raptor's 2027 line, matched to the Recess boot in US 2-4, so the whole setup is actually sized for a junior rider.
Why You'll Love It
Kids and light junior riders moving off combos onto one ski. At 59in there is far less ski to drag around, which is exactly what a 40kg rider needs — a full-length adult ski simply will not come out of the water under them, no matter how good their technique is getting.
This is not a course ski and it isn't priced or built as one. It is the ski that gets a kid slaloming in their first summer instead of their fourth. When they outgrow it — and they will, quickly — the Lunch Break at 61in or 63in is the next step.
Supplied as a blank, ready for a set of Raptor Recess boots in US 2-4.

About Raptor
Raptor is the boardsports arm of Straightline Sports Co, an Australian family watersports business based in Echuca, Victoria. The range is built around what actually gets ridden behind an Aussie boat — kneeboards, wakeboards, wakeskates, wakesurfers, combo skis, slalom skis and towables — designed in-house by a team that rides the gear it draws.
The brand's reputation was built on kneeboards, where the Madhouse, Powerfish and Misfit are fixtures on lakes and rivers around the country, and it has since carried that same value-for-money thinking into wakeboards and skis. Raptor sits alongside sister brand Straightline, whose ropes and handles have been an Australian benchmark for decades. Stocked through more than fifty specialist dealers nationwide.
