That is the trade every freeride shape has to make, and it is the one Raptor's team went after with the \u003cb\u003eSeverance\u003c\/b\u003e. A directional patterned glass layup stiffens the board through the middle while leaving the tips free to break away, so you get a skate-like feel edge to edge without giving up the hold you need when you load the line. It is the board in the Raptor range for riders who want to slide and butter one lap, then stomp a proper wake-to-wake the next.\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\u003eNXT 2 Core Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Raptor's toughest build, wrapping a PU core in a layup made to take repeat wake impacts without going soft halfway through the season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProgressive 3-Stage Rocker:\u003c\/b\u003e Loads up as you edge in and releases hard off the lip — aggressive pop that stays predictable, and a landing that absorbs rather than jars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eExclusive Progressive Flex:\u003c\/b\u003e Softer through the tips, stiffer underfoot. Presses and butters come easy while the middle of the board still drives through chop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePatterned Glass Layup:\u003c\/b\u003e Directional glass placement is what makes the Severance loose without being vague — it controls where the board flexes instead of letting it flex everywhere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eABS Infused Polymer Edges:\u003c\/b\u003e Sidewall material that shrugs off rail hits and dock knocks, the two things that end most wakeboards early.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRemovable Fins:\u003c\/b\u003e Run them for grip while you are learning the board, pull them out when you want it skating free at the cable.\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 an intermediate-to-advanced board. If you are still working on getting up and riding switch, the Severance will feel faster and looser than you want — start on something with a softer flex and more fin. But if you are carving hard, popping wake-to-wake and starting to think about surface tricks, this is the board that rewards it. Equally happy behind the boat or taking custom laps at the cable.\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.
