Our new Surf Band wrist remote gives you total
control of your wave while you're surfing, allowing you to easily
customize its size, length, shape, and speed.
LOUDON, Tenn., July 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Welcome to the future: make any wave you want—while you surf it. With the introduction of Malibu's exclusive, patented Surf Band, the world's number-one watersports boat changes the game yet again. Just strap the buoyant, hi-viz Surf Band
to your wrist and tap its simple, intuitive interface to take command
of all aspects of your endless wave, while Command Center alerts let the
driver know what you're up to. If you're surfing, you're in control,
remotely dialing in the perfect wave with our Surf Gate and Power Wedge
II hydrofoil. Get inside the curl or hang back 20-plus feet. It's your
wave; fine-tune it any way you want. And if you're wakeboarding, the Surf
Band lets you take charge as well, controlling the Power Wedge II and your speed as you ride.
Like every innovation that makes up our peerless Integrated Surf
Platform—from our model-specific performance hulls and our Quad
Hard-Tank Ballast to our model-specific Surf Gates and our re-engineered
Power Wedge II—the Surf Band is another Malibu
first, designed and patented long before any imitation. Our unmatched
focus and dedication to R&D continue to leave the competition far
behind.
Malibu CEO Jack Springer is extremely excited to bring this fantastic new technology to surfers the world over. "For years, Malibu
has led the towboat category globally, developing unprecedented
innovations that change the industry for the better and get more and
more people passionate about watersports," says Springer. "Several years
ago, when we were first developing Surf Gate, we also developed and
integrated the Surf Band technology to add another dimension
to our total-package Integrated Surf Platform, giving what is truly the
ultimate wakesurf experience to our customers, whether you're a seasoned
pro or a kid just learning how to surf."
Malibu Pro Team rider and surf specialist Brian Grubb says, "Malibu
builds everything with their eyes on the future. I never dreamed I'd be
able to control the Power Wedge II to shape the wave and do transfers
on my command from the wave. It puts all the control right at the
rider's fingertips. I can do everything. It's truly awesome. One of the
best parts about being on the Malibu Pro Team is knowing that every year
Malibu
is getting better, continuously innovating. That lets me continue to
push wakeskating and boat surfing, and we evolve together. Malibu is leading every aspect of the industry as we look to tomorrow and the progression of watersports. The new Surf
Band is just further proof that Malibu has the finest team of engineers out there."
Look for the Surf Band to make its debut at a dealer near you in August and in professional watersports competition at Malibu's final 2015 Evolution Pro event, in Houston October 2-3.
