Jake Owen's Malibu Wilder Than Any 8 Second Ride

Country Singer Jake Owen (@JakeOfficial), RCA Nashville Recording Artist, loves his 2009 Wakesetter VLX. Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) Louisiana Team Rider, Chad Scott, just emailed us this link to JakeOwen.net and a great video Jake did for ABC during Nashville Nights at the end of the summer.

Jake purchased his 2009 Wakesetter VLX through TNT Watersports in Nashville, TN where he lives. Jake is an avid wakeboarder. As you can see in the video he likes to surf too. During the warm months of the year he pulls his Wakesetter VLX behind his tour bus in search of any opportunity to ride. Jake puts over 200 hours on his boat every year. With an extremely busy Country Music Superstar schedule that is is no small feat!

Jake's new hit song, 8 Second Ride from his album Easy Does It, is #13 on Billboard.com's Country Music Top 30. And this song has been on the list for 27 weeks!

Great video Jake! Glad you find so much enjoyment in your Malibu boat! Keep the great music coming. Malibu Boats is listening!
