What Makes a Great Wakesurf Boat?

​

A great surf boat is multifaceted. It’s not enough to just produce a great wakesurf wave, the boat needs to be a Swiss Army knife with all sorts of capabilities that range from comfort to convenience to performance to technology. Malibu has spent tens of thousands of hours honing in the perfect balance of all these elements to make the best wakesurf boats in the world.

 

Performance

​

Comfort, convenience, luxury and technology are all important elements in a surf boat, but the single most important element is performance. And Malibu has that in spades. It all starts with Surf Gate, Malibu’s patented wakesurf technology that allows you to create a wave on either side of the boat with the touch of a button. You don’t have to displace crew and move weight from side to side, Surf Gate allows you to generate a world-class wave on either side with the boat while staying evenly weighted. In most cases, your evenly weighted setup similar to your wakeboard weight setup will work as a great starting point for your surf setup, so the convenience factor is off the charts. Another great thing about Malibu’s surf system is it combines with several different surf innovations to make an infinitely customizable wave. For example, your wakeboard weighting setup might be really close to your surf setup, but not exact. Malibu makes it simple to tweak your wave’s pitch and drive with ballast and Power Wedge III.
