Malibu Boats Rider Experience Series Kicked Off 10th Season

Wake enthusiasts from across the western region gathered at Quail Creek Reservoir in St. George, Utah to kick off the Malibu Boats Rider Experience 10th season of sharing the stoke on the water through amateur development and approachable, family-friendly competition.

Friday, riders were able to come out and ride behind the latest in the Malibu Boats lineup and demo the Hyperlite and Liquid Force equipment. Luca Kidd, Jeff Langley, Tarah Mikacich, Stacia Bank and Ashley Inloes of team Malibu Boats were all on site to hang out and share tips.

Saturday hosted the Malibu Boats WWA Regional Championships West and we couldn’t have asked for better conditions, as both seasoned and first-time competitors hit the water for a fun competition while securing their invite to the WWA Wakeboard National Championships.

The Malibu Boats Rider Experience continues to make its way across the U.S. with four remaining stops. For more information on joining in on the fun click here.
