Wakesetter-head!

Malibu Boats (@MalibBoats) just received this great photo from Ryan Peak. Ryan is becoming one with the Malibu Wakesetter by cutting the "WS" logo into his hair. All of this is in preparation for the Boston INT Stop (@INTLeague) this weekend. Ryan trains and will be competing behind the VLX in an INT League Event. Ryan's uncle, Mark Portuondo, purchased this Wakesetter VLX wakeboard boat from longtime Malibu Dealer East Coast Flightcraft. Maybe Ryan is using his new hair cut to psych out the competition and give himself an edge. Either that or he just thought it would get his picture on the Malibu Boats web sites. Ha! Either way we're pulling for you Ryan! Good luck this weekend! Thanks for sharing!

If you capture or come across a cool Malibu Boats-related photo like this one let us know. We would love to post it on the Malibu Boats Blog and Flickr Channel. We will even Tweet about it on Twitter and add it to the ever-changing Malibu Boats Screen Saver. You can also submit your photo or video through our Malibu iPhone App.

E-mail blog@malibuboats.com with links and/or images. Also make sure to include the name of the person who took the shot and give us a short description of the photo's contents. If you do not know this information and you are only forwarding a link, we can track it down. Thanks!
