Truth In Ballast
Malibu's Hard Tank Ballast
In the thrilling world of wakesurfing, Malibu Boats is the pinnacle at which innovation meets passion. Malibu's Hard Tank Ballast systems are a product of that passion and the engineering expertise that fuels all of our innovation.
Our Hard Tank Ballast technology immediately separates Malibu Boats from other surf boats. This unique system has been meticulously designed for each model to ensure that every Malibu boat creates perfect wakes & waves, transforming your ride into an unforgettable experience, every time.
WHAT IS HARD TANK BALLAST TECHNOLOGY?
Malibu's Hard Tank Ballast system is an advanced technology exclusive to Malibu Boats and is engineered to optimize the wakesurfing experience. Each model features hard tanks that are specifically designed to fit spaces in the bow, lounge, and stern of the boat to fit below the floor without compromising your seating & storage space.
Controlled through the Malibu Command Center™, the Hard Tank Ballast is designed to precisely displace the weight distribution within the boat by carefully controlling the amount of water within each of the tanks. This innovative approach to ballasting ensures a consistently powerful and customizable surf wake, perfect for riders of all skill levels.
HOW IT WORKS: THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SURF
The Hard Tank Ballast system on every Malibu boat ensures that the boat produces the perfect wave, allowing the driver, crew, and rider to spend more time having fun or carving up a wave, and less time creating the ideal wave by shifting your passengers, belongings or ballast bags around. Here's how:
Precision Weight Distribution
The system utilizes between three and six hard tanks (depending on the model). This allows the boat to draw water into holding cells specifically designed to displace the boat deeper into the water. By adjusting the amount of water in each tank, the system rapidly adds weight to or removes weight from the boat, precisely altering the boat's center of gravity, and creating the ideal surf wave.
Customizable Wake Shape
Whether you're a wake surf beginner or a seasoned pro, our surf system allows for personalized wake settings. Adjust the tank levels to change the wake's height, length, and shape, tailoring it to your riding style. Or just let the Malibu Command Center on your boat take care of all of that automatically with its preset wave profiles.
Enhanced Stability and Efficiency
The hard tanks are designed for optimal weight balance on each model, enhancing the boat's stability and efficiency on the water. This means smoother, more controlled rides, allowing you to focus on your performance.
