Jason — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 17:47:44 +0000

Sure, his hair may have a little too much product in it for his age, maybe he did wear gloves a few years too long, and of course there's no getting past the picture above, but you have to admit Zane Schwenk is legend in the sport of wakeboarding, and an all-around great guy. The powers that be tend to agree, which is why they honored him with as a Legend of Wake at the 2008 Wake Awards last fall. The equivalent of a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammy's, the Legend of Wake recognition highlights important people in the industry that have committed their career towards representing wakeboarding.

Kevin Henshaw Sheds Some Light On Why He Likes Malibu Boats

Jason — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 22:40:24 +0000

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.
