Malibu Boats is ecstatic to announce that the Wakesetter 23 LSV is the Wakesurfing and Wakeboarding Boat of the Year for the second year in a row, our Gx Tower Misters are the Innovation of the Year and our Malibu athletes have been recognized as top in the industry by the WakeWorld 2021 Riders Choice Awards. With the recipients being chosen and awarded by boaters alone, it is a true honor to be recognized as the top performing boat in the industry. Malibu would like to personally thank every person that voted for us and helped us bring home this accolade for the second year in a row.

For over a dozen years, the iconic 23 LSV has been the best-selling towboat in the world, and we are thrilled for it to be recognized as the best wakeboard and wakesurf boat of the year. For 2022, Malibu has given the 23 LSV even more features and innovations for our boaters to enjoy. With a classic traditional bow, a featured transom walk-over and new available Powered Swim Step, the 23 LSV was built with luxury and high-class craftsmanship. The 23 LSV offers our boaters the ultimate versatility with sport specific hulls to choose from. The Diamond Multi-Sport Hull was created for the multi-sport enthusiast and offers flatter, softer ski wakes. The Wake Plus Hull allows the 23 LSV to sit deeper in the water at slower speeds to increase water displacement for more crisp wakeboard wakes and even better wakesurfing waves. The 23 LSV is the essence of the Malibu brand, and we are honored that is has been crowned as the Wakesurfing and Wakeboarding Boat of the Year.

Winning both Wakesurfing Boat of the Year and Wakeboarding Boat of the Year for two years is no small feat and it’s all thanks to our outstanding team at Malibu Boats. Our engineers are dedicated to bringing the most cutting-edge technology to our customers year after year. With huge industry advancements such as Surf Gate, Power Wedge III, Quad Hard-Tank Ballast and the Malibu Command Center, Malibu has been able to provide our boaters with waves and wakes like never before.

The excitement doesn’t stop here. Malibu is also honored to announce that our Gx Tower Misters have been awarded Innovation of the Year for 2021. Introduced and quickly admired, the Gx Tower Misters were designed to keep your entire crew cool. With a simple touch of a button, three misters evenly distributed quickly deploy the mist so that everyone on the boat can enjoy more time on the water.

Malibu is also proud to have some of our athletes be recognized by the 2021 Riders Choice Awards. Massi Piffaretti landed Top Ten Male Riders, Tarah Mikacich landed Top Five Female Riders and Brian Grubb received #1 Top Wakeskater. Congratulations to all our Malibu athletes for your hard-work and commitment to the sport. We could not be prouder of the team we have with Malibu Boats and we thank everyone who voted to help us all receive these incredible awards.
