The skiers talked, and Malibu listened. The Short Wing Windshield allows the driver to lean over and have better direct communication with the rider as he or she is getting picked up for the next pull. It also allowed the tower to be moved forward so when a skier is going extra wide on a course, there's no chance of hitting the tower.

The available swim step makes enjoying time in the water a breeze by locking into place either stored on the swim platform or deployed in the water.
