Kevin Henshaw Sheds Some Light On Why He Likes Malibu Boats

Posted on January 30th, 2009 by Jason | posted in Boats, General, Riders

Liquid Force team rider and sponsored Malibu athlete Kevin Henshaw sat down with the camera recently for a little one-on-one time in his Wakesetter VLX. He talks about the fact that he’s been riding Malibu for years (he doesn’t remember exactly how long), and highlights a few of the key features he likes about his Malibu. There’s also some decent shots of Henshaw riding, although that’s definitely not the key focus on the video.

Apparently Malibu has produced more videos showcasing their team members on the water and in the boats, so we’ll try to dig up the others for you to enjoy.

In the meantime, hit the jump to watch the video.

San Diego Rail Jam Showcase Coming Next Week

Erik Ruck Rail JamFollowing up on the success of last year’s event, WakeSports Unlimited is hosting the second annual San Diego rail jam at the Del Mar boat show.

With a host of riders, including Danny Harf, Shane Bonifay, Kevin Henshaw and Collin Harrington competing in the warm So Cal weather, it should be a great early spring event. And if the level of riding at the 2007 event is any indication, we can only hope to see a number of “firsts” this year. The event is scheduled for March 26-30, and will take place at the Fred Hall Fishing, Tackle and Boat Show. This is a great chance to see some of the best riders in the world in person, which doesn’t often happen that far down in California. If you’re in the San Diego area, head over and check out the event in person.

You can read the full press release after the jump.

Liquid Force Pros Describe Their Designs in ‘07 Clinic Videos

Posted on May 1st, 2007 by Jason | posted in Gear, General, Media

2007 Liquid Force Clinic Wakeboard VideosOriginally conceived to be a tool for Liquid Force dealers to use for educating their employees, the Clinic Videos quickly gained popularity last year when they found their way into the hands of all wakeboard enthusiasts. For 2007 Liquid is following up on the success of the Clinic Series with a more complete and in depth review of almost all of their products.

Jimmy Redmond, the mastermind behind most of Liquid Force’s designs, offers some interesting insight into the many new wakeboard and surfboard shapes, while Scott, lead wakeboard binding designer explains the boot lineup for 2007. Jimmy also manages to do a reasonable job of keeping the less than articulate professional wakeboarders that are on camera with him on topic and answering the questions. One things for sure, few wakeboarders would survive if performing in front of the camera were their day job.

Preview: Living The Dream Tour

Posted on February 19th, 2007 by Jason | posted in General, Riders

What do you get when you combine some wakeboarders from the northwest with a video camera, a wakeboard boat and 3,500 miles of open road to explore? We’re not really sure either, but you can be certain it will make an entertaining wakeboarding movie with some impressive riding thrown in for good measure. That’s the idea behind the Living the Dream Tour, and it’s kicking off soon, so stay tuned for more information.
