In 1982, six California friends channeled their shared passion for waterskiing into designing and building a new wave of ski boats. Rejecting “good enough” as a substitute for state-of-the-art, Malibu began a dedication to innovation that continues today. That focus on innovation has made Malibu the undisputed worldwide towboat leader with a long roster of industry-firsts, including the first Wakeboard Hull.

In 2012 when Malibu introduced the revolutionary and industry changing Surf Gate™ it was just the beginning of an evolution in design, engineering and innovation. Malibu’s engineering team continued to integrate our surf system into multiple facets of boat design over the years to come to create a surf experience like no other.

Most recently, Malibu Boats received two prestigious industry innovation awards including the top spot in the “Trailers, Parts and Trailer Accessories” category at the illustrious Miami Boat Show and a Water Sports Industry Association Product Innovation Award at the annual WISA Summit for the Malibu Wakesetter 25 LSV.
