The secret behind camera innovation is the Patented Swivel Head Pylon mount. The Flo-cam enclosure is based on the smooth action of Malibu’s award-winning pylon head. Built with a needle bearing core, the swivel head pylon rotates the Flo-cam with the rope to capture the rider’s performance minus the jerky motion you get from other camera options on the market.

Malibu Boats has also built an angle adjustment into this camera system that allows the camera to capture action near the back of boat for disciplines like wakesurfing as well as a Team Malibu rider wakeboarding with a long line.

When those personal bests are preserved and ready for playback head to the dash for a look at MaliView. The Flo-cam is wired to Malibu’s 6.5-inch full color dash system for high quality playback even in full sun. For another view take a look at the Flo-cam drive in the glove box. It has a small screen for viewing too.

When your wake talents are spent and you’re ready to make the magic you made behind the boat into a movie get to it. Grab the 2 gig SD card and head for your machine. Captured footage can be edited on MAC or PC with a variety of software.

In addition to all of this function on the water, the Malibu Boats Flo-cam will go where you go to capture you in action. Take it out of the boat and mount it to your helmet or whatever other apparatus you use for extreme sport. The Flo-cam can capture your personal best no matter where they may be.

Team Malibu's Dallas Friday Featured in Orlando Magazine

Dallas Friday article excerpt provided by Orlando Magazine. Dallas Friday, 23, has won more than 60 professional wakeboarding titles, making her the all-time leader among women in the sport.

“I started in wakeboarding at 12. I did gymnastics before, but I kind of got over it. I wanted to try something new and my brothers got me into wakeboarding. I tried it and I absolutely loved it. I was drawn to it.”

“My first year [2000, when she was 13] on the pro tour I won an event down in West Palm Beach. I went from never making it into the finals to winning a pro tour stop. Crazy, huh? Finally it clicked at that contest.” Friday has dominated her sport ever since, winning almost every event she has entered. She won an ESPY award for Best Female Action Sports Athlete for 2004, and in July she won the gold medal in the female wakeboarding competition at the World Games in Taiwan.
