When asked why he continues to choose Malibu Boats, Carwin responded with this statement, “My family and I love being on the lake and spending time together. We all ski, wakeboard and just enjoy the water. When looking for a boat I wanted a brand that worked as hard as I do to be the best. Malibu is not only the best performing boat they are the only boats good enough for my family and me.”
Carwin’s record is impressive, but that is not the only reason Malibu is still so excited about this relationship. Just like the other talented individuals that make-up the Malibu Boats Family, Carwin is as strong on character and determination as he is fierce in the Octagon.
Paul Singer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Malibu Boats, had this to say about the addition of Carwin to the Malibu Crew. "Shane has a level of dedication that is impressive whether it revolves around his family, his sport or his fans so he made an immediate impression on us in the cage and out.” Singer continued, "The fact that he has dreamed of owning a Malibu boat and wanted to bring us along in his journey in the Octagon was icing on the cake. Both vessels of extreme performance, strength and precision, Shane and his Wakesetter VLX create a strong team."
