Malibu Boats has announced a six-year global partnership with the International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation (IWWF) to to support the Federation’s waterski, wakeboard, and wakesurf events.
The agreement will take effect from January 1 2026 and names Malibu as the exclusive official towboat partner of the organisation.
Two Malibu models will start the partnership: the Response TXi and the Malibu M230.
The Response Txi features Malibu’s T-Cut Diamond Hull, while the Malibu M230 is Malibu’s flagship wake sports boat, built on the company’s M-Line hull and equipped with Surf Gate and Power Wedge III.
Advanced boats
As Malibu continues to advance design and technology, the IWWF partnership will ensure that athletes always compete behind Malibu’s most advanced boats — whether the TXi and M230 or their next-generation successors.
“Malibu was founded by athletes who wanted something better. This partnership honours that legacy and pushes it into the future,” explained Rachael Green, senior vice president of engineering and production at Malibu Boats.
“We’re proud to support the best athletes in the world with Malibu boats—today that means the TXi and M230, and tomorrow it will mean the next evolution of innovation in competition performance.”
