Malibu Boats

When clicking through the 2013 Boat Buyers Guide we all dream of ordering up one of the hottest new flagship wakeboard boats, but sometimes we need to scale it down a bit. Still wanting to enjoy all that a wakeboard boat can give you, but making a commitment to the top-of-the-line boats will have to wait a year or two? Set your sights on one of the boats that fit into a price-conscious budget and review our list of the best value boats for wake...

With summer right around the corner, it’s time to shake off the cobwebs with some skiing spring cleaning. We enlisted Malibu Boats skiers Will Asher, Thomas Degasperi and Regina Jaquess to share some things you can do right now to get your body, boat and gear ready for a summer full of fun and personal bests...

I’ve always gotten a lot of attention from my riding, and I think it’s because my tricks are different than most other people. From tail tapping suspended road cones off the Malibu MXZ wake to wall rides, unique jibs and my own signature style on tricks, I try to get as creative as possible...

Wakesurfing is one of the funnest things to do behind the boat, but you can look like a kook pretty quick if you don’t add in a little style. Malibu’s new SURF GATE lets you create ocean-like waves behind the boat, so it’s high time to bring some more surf style to the lake...

There are two types of 180 shoves — surface shoves and air shoves — and the motion for the two is very similar. As a result, I’m going to teach you how to do the surface shove first, so you can work up to the air shove and if you’re really ambitious eventually taking it to 360...

When you get a regular stalefish down, you can take this versatile trick to a lot of different places. The stalefish is cool because it looks great poked out and a little off-axis, and when incorporated into spins it becomes a little techy as well...

Your success at the next buoy all depends on how you set yourself up from the previous buoy to the first wake. If you haven’t done things right in this crucial part of the turn, it’s already too late...

The slalom course is the exact same size for everyone, so the goal is to create space or time to give yourself more options in each turn. The more swing and the more power you get in the turn, the more time, space and options you have at the end of the turn, which will get you through the course more efficiently...

A 360 is usually the first trick everyone learns on a wakesurfer. This simple trick can teach riders control and how to stay with the wave, so it's a rite of passage to becoming a real rider. We teach 360 day in and day out at Freedom Wake Park, so I’ve developed some foolproof tips for beginners who are just learning to spin or struggling with the 360...

Here’s the formula for big air: The more speed you have when you kick off the top of the wave, the higher you’re going to go. Fortunately, thanks to SURF GATE, you have more room to generate speed than with a listed boat, so it’s a lot easier to learn your first air...

Every skier has had a slack line and we all hate the feeling. It costs valuable time in the course, it can make you miss buoys, and it prevents you from achieving your personal best. Here are some ways I keep my line tight in the course behind the Malibu Response TXi...
