by The WWA on 27 Aug 2015 The Malibu Evolution Pro Series made its second stop of the season at Tokyo Bay for the Malibu Boats Tokyo Pro presented by Rockstar Energy. The top wakeboarders in the world spent the weekend in Japan competing behind the Malibu Wakesetter 22 MXZ.

“Malibu, the WWA and the JWBA partnered together to bring an outstanding event to Japan,” said Malibu CEO Jack Springer. “Malibu has strived to create a unique, special series and this second leg demonstrated that yet again. Not only was the venue spectacular and the riding great, the welcome and support from the Japanese people was exciting to see. Congratulations to those who placed on the podium, but congratulations also to everyone who was a part of this very special Malibu Evolution Tour stop.”

The world’s best wakeboarders were on the water for the sixth stop of the WWA Wakeboard World Series.

I am so pumped to be currently leading the series and can't wait to wrap it up in Houston for the final stop!”
