The truth about the LXi is on the water. That’s where you’ll find your next personal best no matter what your skill level. Whether you're searching for World Records or simply looking to make that next slalom turn, the Response LXi delivers.

The Cut Diamond hull produces soft, flat wakes that gives pros like Thomas Degasperi as well as slalom faithful like you an edge. This year the Response LXi has also become known for it’s girl power, pulling both Pro Jumper June Fladborg and Pro Slalom Skier Regina Jaquess to World Records.

The Response LXi is not just the boat of World Champions. It is also helping to groom the next wave of record-breakers. Ski schools and Pro skier/instructors like Drew Ross can rely on the Response LXi to grow a student’s skills all the way to the professional level.

All this versatile 3-event performance and the Response LXi won’t leave your family on the dock. Rated for 9 people the LXi accommodates family and all of their stuff. Thoughtful LED lit storage centers line the interior of this boat. The LXi also supports you with the available MaliView dash an optional Zero Off speed control system for precise course runs.

Video of June Fladborg Setting Pending World Jump Record

Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) Pro Team member, June Fladborg (@JuneFladborg) just set a pending Women's World Jump Record yesterday behind a Malibu Response LXi ski boat.

Team Malibu Jumps to World Cup Win

Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) congratulates June Fladborg (@JuneFladborg) on a stellar Waterski & Wakeboard World Cup performance. June rose to the top of the podium with a jump of 158.5 feet (48.3m). Putrajaya, Malaysia saw this Danish Team Malibu Jumper become the highest flying woman at the 2009 World Cup event. What a great way to end the season!

IWWF described the women's jump finals this way. "In the Women's Finals, Denmark's June Fladborg was first in to the arena. Having already taken both Australia's Moomba Masters and US Masters titles this year, she desperately wanted to finish on a World Cup high. Her opening score of 48.3m immediately set a new Course Record !  World Overall Cable Jump Champion, Iryna Turets BLR, got close with 45.5m. Now it was all down to Marion Mathieu FRA who  came second behind Fladborg in the Moomba Masters. With a distance of 48.1m, she was also second to Fladborg again in Putrajaya. This was a perfect World Cup conclusion for June Fladborg."

JUMP WINNERS - Women
1. (DEN) June Fladborg - 48.3m
2. (FRA) Marion Mathieu - 48.1m
3. (BLR) Iryna Turets - 46.5m

Soven Wins China World Cup Stop

Team Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) Phillip Soven (@PhillipSoven) beat out Harley Clifford and Rusty Malinoski in Liuzhou City, China over the weekend.

Soven struck first blood in the finals with a whopping score of 75.44 points. Clifford landed a huge 720 off the double-up, but that move was only good enough for second.

June Saves the Prince

Received this scan today from International Malibu Boats Sales Manager, Bo Lassen. There is a story here...

Team Malibu Boats Jumper June Fladborg placed second in the EAME Waterski Championships in Denmark last weekend. Leave it to June to place second and get the most media coverage. You go girl!

Unless you speak Danish I'm sure you have no idea what is going on in this picture. We didn't either, at first...

According to Bo this headline says something like, "June is choking Frederik, Royal Crown Prince of Denmark, at the European Waterski Championships award ceremony."

That is what this looks like, but the weekly was just joshin'. Turns out Prince Frederick tripped on the way up to the Women's Jump podium to congratulate the winners and June saved him. She kept him from falling while at the same managing to keep her jump ski in frame with the "Malibu" logo turned toward the camera. Now there's a dedicated factory team member. She can do it all!

Way to go June! We're proud of you for your performance and the rescue. We also appreciate the laughs you brought us today!
