Axis A22

The Axis 22 doesn’t try to be everything to everybody, like some so-called crossover boats. Axis Wake Research loyalty lies with riders, and we make no apology for that. We built it for riders who demand more—more wake, more space, more style—for less money. Riders in search of big, perfectly sculpted wakes for wakeboarding, wakesurfing and wakeskating. In other words, you.The Wakebox 900 Ballast System is included in each A22 and is the only hard tank, sub-floor wake enhancement system available in the price-point class. The Wakebox is comprised of three hard ballast tanks mounted below the floor in the rear and center of the boat, totaling 900 pounds. These tanks are filled and drain with a set of switches at the dash so the driver can customize the weight based on passenger positioning.

The Skybox Slide. More fun than line-dancing, but just as social. The Team at Axis Wake Research has analyzed the riding lifestyle and built the A22 to accommodate the rider as well as those along for the ride. No more contorting your body and straining your neck to see the rider when you’re in the back seat. Axis has designed Skybox seating to slide from the rear of the lounge to the center so those in the back of the bus can face the action or kick back for a cruise. It’s their choice. This Axis-exclusive seating configuration transforms to fit the riding situation and gives you the opportunity to place passenger weight where you need it to fine-tune wake.

Opt for the Axis Plug N’ Play Ballast System and add up to 1275 pounds more to your A22 in the form of custom designed Fly High sacks plumbed into the boats bilge and water intake system with quick disconnect ports. The Plug N’ Play ballast makes a home on either side of the engine and in the bow. Each ballast location can be filled and drained independently at the dash. Axis offers all of this extra weight without compromising floor space and barely encroaching on your storage areas.

Looking for another 1000 pounds of displacement? Add the exclusive Axis Auto Set Wedge and you can bring your wake footprint to nearly 3200 pounds of displacement on top of the A22’s other available ballast. The Auto Set Wedge can be deployed through an access hatch in the standard fiberglass swim step. A simple pinch of the clips and the Auto Set Wedge is ready for wake-making. This reverse hydro-foil floats to the perfect displacement position and turns up the volume on your wake size. No ballast. No filling, No draining, Just wake.

Malibu Wakesetter VLX

When WaterSki Magazine said “ it is tough to find a more technically advanced boat” they weren’t just talking to riders. They were also addressing drivers, who will find themselves with fingertip controls at the helm of the VLX. The two-tone, hand-wrapped performance dash incorporates all the greatest Malibu innovations with ergonomics reserved for only the finest cockpits. From the push-button rider presets to the available MaliView 6.5” color LCD screen for systems management, the VLX features standard conveniences and controls that haven’t even occurred to our competitors.

Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV

There are many forms of artistic expression, including functional design, as evidenced by the Wakesetter 23 LSV, which not only handles rough water with grace and stability, but also offers an enticing interior. The inviting interior includes a well-chosen space for the available MUX digital switch panel in the rear lounge. Boat functions, such as theater-style LED interior lighting, rider preset selection, stereo operation and other accessory controls, are accessible from LCD embedded switches. Soft to the touch, yet durable, panels of multi-texture vinyls encase three densities of foam comfort in the seating. Joined by perfectly-aligned seams and well-placed piping, it’s clear this boat was built with pride and artistry.

Malibu Wakesetter 247

BIG AND BOLD: The 247 LSV is one big boat with equally big wakes. Designed for the very social wakeboarding lifestyle, this boat holds a whopping 16 people and plenty of storage for all their gear. This boat is so bold, we decided it was time to amp up the graphics to match its personality. The newly designed Wakesetter “WS” insignia is a three-dimensional piece that adds depth with intense reflection, highlights and shadows to the side of the boat. The word “Wakesetter” has been reshaped to convey the dominance of the Wakesetter series, with an edgy new look. Sweet!

Malibu 21vRide

LESSONS NOT LEARNED: WaterSki Magazine quipped “The ‘v’ in vRide stands for value,” and indeed the 21 and 23 vRide represent one of the best values in board boats today. Formerly known as Wakesetters, the vRide series has a long string of success stories in its wake, including an unprecedented string of wins for Dallas Friday in ‘06, Soven’s Pro Tour title in ’07, and started it all for many other Team Malibu Pro Riders. If you have taken lessons from pros Darin Shapiro or Gerry Nunn, you may have trained behind a vRide. If so, you already know the interiors are ergonomically designed for comfort and space.
