Malibu Blanket Winner Turns Giver

Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) blanket winner, Michael Berzins, recently presented his friend Doug, recovering a snowboard accident, with the one-of-a-kind throw. Michael posted this photo and these words on the Malibu Boats Facebook Fan Page.

"Here's a picture of the blanket winner, Doug. Finally home from the hospital and on the mend. Thank you again for the blanket and the smile (and tears) that it brought."

This is the fan page comment that won Micheal the blanket and the opportunity to present it to his friend.

I need that blanket to give to a buddy of mine (who also owns a Malibu) who recently hit a tree while snowboarding. He is still in ICU at St. Charles Hospital in Bend, OR. When he finally gets to come home he is gonna have a lot of sitting around (and healing) to do. That blanket would make the healing process a little less painful. You can verify this story on TheMalibuCrew's website.

You're a great friend Michael! Our best wishes are with you, Doug and your families. We are proud to call people like you a part of the Malibu Boats Family.

Northwest Riders' Brandon Robbins Miracle Man

A dear friend of Malibu Boats was injured in a motorcycle accident on the 4th of July. Brandon Robbins, a Northwest Riders and Malibu through and through, was seriously injured earlier this month and Malibu Family has been praying for his recovery. Well those prays are being answered.

Brnadon's close friend Zack Clark has been keeping us all updated on Brandon's progress. Zack posted the Miracle Man article on the WakeboardNorthwest.com blog the day he went to see Brandon for the first time since the accident.

He was super alert and his attitude was amazing. Positive, smiling and laughing at times, and the same old B-Rob we know and love. He may even be released much sooner than expected. That’s not to say he doesn't still have a long recovery ahead…but knowing him he will turn long into much shorter than expected. Brandon did end up having his right foot amputated. This means he has some learning coming up with a new prosthetic. I know he will be back on the water and the mountain in no time as he told me just that! Please keep praying for his healing and recovery.

Brandon will have medical costs through out his recovery process and Malibu Boats Dealer Bakes Marine has setup a donation fund to help. If you would like to donate to the fund, please visit www.bakesmarine.com/Brandon.

Please keep praying for Brandon's continued healing.

Malibu boats is pulling for you, Brandon! Take care!
