Team Malibu Slalom Dominates Masters

Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) Will Asher (@WillAsher) won Masters over the weekend. The 51st Masters Water Ski Tournament went off at Callaway Garden's Robin Lake in Pine Mountain, GA over Memorial Day Weekend. The current Men's Slalom World Champion was joined by Malibu teammates Nick Parsons and Thomas Degasperi in this win. The Team Malibu Boats Pro Slalom contingent took three of the four top finishing spots to completely dominate this segment of The Maters competition.

Great Britain's Will Asher won the Masters Men's Slalom Title for the third consecutive year and fourth time in his career, scoring 5 buoys at 39-1/2 feet off. U.S. athlete Nick Parsons finished second with 3-1/2 buoys at 39-1/2 feet off, followed by U.S. athlete Jamie Beauchesne (2-1/2 buoys at 39-1/2 feet off) and Italy's Thomas Degasperi (2-1/2 buoys at 38 feet off).

Training behind the world record-breaking Response LXi ski boat is something Team Malibu Pro Slalom athletes will always attribute to their success, but the talent and dedication these competitors possess is even more significant. It is a winning combination!

We are extremely proud of the amazing showing Team Malibu, and especially Will, put fourth this Memorial Day. Way to go Will, Nick and Thomas you all definitely rocked the waters of Robin Lake Malibu Boats style! Keep it up!

Nick Parsons Dominates Malaysia World Cup Stop

Nick Parsons took his hard work and Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) Response LXi training and transformed it into a huge win at the final Waterski & Wakeboard World Cup Series in Putrajaya, Malaysia.

Here's the IWWF description of the Men's Slalom finals in Putrajaya. The Men's Slalom Finals kicked off with a surprise from World Record holder Chris Parrish USA. His score of 1.5 buoys on the 11.25m line / 38off did not earn a podium position. It was Jean Baptiste Faisy FRA, who set the pace with 4 buoys on the 11.25m line /38off. Jodi Fisher GBR, World Cup 2008 season overall winner, was the first to reach the 10.75m line / 39off with a score of one buoy. However 34 year-old Slalom specialist Nick Parsons from Utah USA was in a league of his own. His score of 2.5 buoys on the 10.75m line took the title - ahead of Jodi Fisher and JB Faisy.
