The Crossover & Ski Series
21 LX, 20 VTX, and Response TXi
From record-setting ski passes to full-crew summer sessions, the 2026 Malibu Crossover Series gives every crew the freedom to do it all. Whether you’re chasing your next personal best or packing the boat for a day of multisport fun, Malibu builds the boats that make every run count.
At one end of the lineup is the Response TXi—the icon of tournament waterskiing. With its exclusive T-Cut Diamond Hull™, world-record pedigree, and a redesigned helm, it’s the boat skiers trust for their cleanest, most confident passes.
On the crossover side sits the 20 VTX and the 21 LX. Compact, sporty, and designed to switch seamlessly between waterskiing, wakeboarding, and wakesurfing, these models deliver true multisport performance without compromise.
Three boats. One series built for every kind of day on the water. That's the Truth On The Water™.
