Celebs Choose Malibu

Question: What does a UFC fighter, IndyCar driver and a Country music star have in common?

Answer: They all know how to roll!

In early May, UFC's Shane Carwin, race car driver Charlie Kimball and country singer Jake Owen all took delivery of their 2012 boats on the same weekend. Although they're all from different worlds, these guys are sharing the same passion during their free time.

Carwin, who fights in the heavyweight class, picked up his Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV from Tommy's Slalom Shop in Denver, Colorado. He is most excited to spend time with his family on the water. "Big thanks to Tommy's and Malibu for being a part of our family and having us be a part of theirs," Carwin said. "Tommy's is the best not only in Colorado, but the best in the nation." Carwin is training for a return to the UFC and you can follow his progress at shane-carwin.com

Charlie Kimball, who just placed 8th in the Indy 500, obviously knows what he wants out of a machine, and decided the Axis A22 was the perfect fit. "I'm used to high performance and quality products, designed for pushing the limits of physics. So in everything I do, I'm always looking for that same level of performance," Kimball said. "Being from California, I grew up around the Malibu brand. When Axis launched, it really resonated because it's a young brand, based on performance rather than comfort or stuff that I don't really need when I'm on the water. I'm not looking for a shower at the end of the day. I'm not looking for a heater, I'll just put a sweatshirt on. I need a good wake that I can surf behind and have something to get all my crew and friends on to relax and escape all the pressures we have with racing. Axis is just a quality boat that fit my needs and my personality."

Kimball is very excited for the summer and told us about his favorite moment that keeps him coming back to the water. "For me, it's that early morning, glassy lake, first one out there feeling. It's quiet, the sun's burning that morning haze off and the whole day is ahead of you. That moment of anticipation really epitomizes what it's all about. This summer, I'm going to be on the water with people from motorsports, other Indy drivers and my mechanics, who work countless hours every day of the week. It's my way to thank them and give something back to them for their hard work. It will be our disconnect. I turn my phone off and relax, restore, rejuvenate. So when I do get to the racetrack, I've got that much more energy and excitement, to get in the car and go kick ass." Follow Kimball online at charliekimball.com

After a number one country hit and smash video in 2011 for "Barefoot Blue Jean Night," it was no secret Jake Owen was a ripping wakeboarder. Featured in the video is Owen's Malibu Wakesetter 247 LSV towing him and his friends for a fun day on Tennessee waters. Jake grew up in this environment, and the size of his back roll shows how good he actually is. No, it was not a stunt double, but he gets asked that all the time. Jake is also good friends with Team Malibu rider Brian Grubb, and the two have hung out quite a bit. In May, Jake switched to the all-new Wakesetter 22 MXZ and has already had plenty of good days on the water this summer. Check out his updates at facebook.com/jakeowen

Malibu Featured in A Single Day Video

Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) Georgia Dealer, Singleton Marine Group is getting a lot of attention for A Single Day. Check out the write-up and the video on WakeWorld.com. Amazing footage!

A Single Day, produced by Remedy Films, is exactly what the title says it is, a single day filled with wakeboarding, tight schedules, shooting, helicopter jumps, near death experiences, stitches and, most importantly, FUN!

Singleton Marine Group, the Malibu Boats and Axis Wake Research dealer in Buford, Georgia supported possibly the greatest effort for grassroots wakeboarding in the state of Georgia to date. SMG got their team riders together from both Alabama and Georgia to make a day of what wakeboarding once was and should always be; a day filled with face-shredding and hanging out on the lake.

2010 Texas Stereo Promo Boat

This Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) 2010 Wakesetter 23 LSV is on Tom Buist’s boat dock on Lake Travis. Tom is the owner of Texas Stereo LLC in Spring, TX. Tom sent us these photos of the Promo boat that Texas Stereo built. Brian Calvo is the proud owner of this awesome Wakesetter.

Tom tells us “I thought it might grab a bit of attention. The whole intent was to obviously have the boat stand out in lighting and sound, but to maintain as close to possible a factory appearance with all components neatly and inconspicuously installed to flow with the lines and still utilize as much stowage space as originally intended!”

Well it certainly grabbed our attention. Thank you Tom and Brian for sharing these awesome photos with us!!

The shine wouldn't be possible without flawless gelcoat during construction".

Prince Charming Proposes Malibu Boats Style

Tyler Prince "Charming" used Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) in his plan to propose to his girlfirend Nicole earlier this year. We saw some of the pics and heard bits and pieces of the story on Facebook from Tyler's coworkers at Malibu Boats Dealer Sundown Sport & Marine in Richland, WA. We wanted to know more so we went straight to the source for the whole story. Here are the details Tyler emailed us.

Nicole & I have been dating for 5 ½ years. We meet in summer, and enjoyed spending a lot of our time together on the water. Our relationship blossomed from there.

Nicole is a branch manager in the Tri-Cities for a local Credit Union (HAPO Credit Union), and I am the General Manager for Sundown Sport & Marine.

On the day of the proposal, I had a few of her girlfriends help. It was her birthday, so the girls wanted to treat her to lunch. So a limo picked her up from our home and took her with a dozen close friends to lunch, and then to a local winery for some wine tasting. After the wine tasting one of her friends told her they had one more treat for her but they would have to blind fold her. So they hopped back into the limo with Nicole blindfolded and made their way to Columbia Park, where I had an all white 2010 Malibu 23 LSV tied up to the dock. I had covered the dock in rose pedals, and had a bottle of champagne on ice sitting on the center table of the boat. I was dressed up in a suit, (with a set of sunglasses on – just in case) standing down on the dock. When then limo pulled up a friend escorted Nicole (still blindfolded) down to the dock then booked it back to the limo. Once Nicole removed the blindfold and saw me there, I think she started to put everything together. We had a few words on the dock, and then I proceeded to one knee and presented her the engagement ring and asked her if she would spend the rest of her life with me.

ONCE she said yes, we un-tied the boat, and cruised the Columbia in the new Malibu, celebrating with Champaign for about 3 miles down river until we reached a nice restaurant in our area, that had a dock. Once we got to the dock, the group from the limo was there to congratulate us. We had a few drinks and appetizers there, and began the celebrations.

Way to go Tyler! That was deffinately a special proposal, one we're sure Nicole will remember for the rest of her life. We are so proud that Malibu Boats was a part of it. Thank you for including us and good luck as you start your life together!

We're always looking for fun Malibu Boats stories, photos and video. Send any and all of these things to blog@malibuboats.com!
