2010 Wakesetter VLX Schoolin' in the UK

Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) is covering the world of water sports! Check out LDB Wakeboard School's new 2010 Wakesetter VLX featured by Alliance Wake Magazine UK.

It's the start of a new season, and for most clubs and wakeboard schools that means getting a new boat. Well today Mr. Lee Debuse met in Thorpe with David Webster from D2 Marine to receive the delivery of LDB Wake School's brand new Wakesetter VLX. The new boat in a tidy black, white and green colour scheme to match the LDB logo, is fresh from the states this week, and after some running in Lee had his first customers out on the boat. So I headed down to meet George Newell who was keen to test out the wake.

After 15 minutes in cold weather with a ripped wetsuit, George still had the same smile on his face that all Lee's customers have had today as the wake on the new VLX is top notch. LDB is taking bookings now for the 2010 season, and will have some special sessions like the up coming Chicks Day this Friday. For more info and to book a tow, check out the website.

Swiss Malibu Team Video

Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) Switzerland Dealer, US Nautic, started the Swiss Malibu Team in late 2009 to expose wakeboarding to more of the Swiss people and bolster the competitive side of the sport in this region. This 10 person team consists of 3 girls and 7 boys all between the ages of 16 and 25. US Nautic is screening additional Swiss team member for 2010 who posses a talent for wakeboarding and can serve as positive role models in the sport. The Swiss Malibu Team has plans to participate in all 2010 Swiss wakeboard competitions and share wakeboarding with their countrymen every time they take the lake.

This video was shot on Lake Lugano near the Italian border. The Swiss Malibu Team rides behind a Wakesetter 23 LSV provided by US Nautic.

Malibu Wakesetter VLX Onboard Oceanco 248' Yacht

Northwest Rider and great Malibu Boats friend, Brett van den Heuvel (Brett V.), sent us an e-mail last week when he read Yachting Forum's article on the Oceanco 248’/75m "Anastasia". "Yachting's New Grand Duchess!" as the article's author Capt. Chuck Gnaegy refers to her was built in the Netherlands and is an amazing vessel. But as sweet as this big ocean-goer is, the cargo may have peaked Brett's interest more than the Yacht itself.

There it was on the deck, a Malibu Boats Wakesetter VLX!

Thanks for the article Brett. The Anatasia is a sick ride! We especially like it's Malibu VLX passenger!
