I'm looking in buying a wake surf boat and I want yalls opinions on which I should get?
A Super Air Nautique or a Malibu? They are both 2015 models. I've heard great things about both boats. Most of my buddies are telling me to get the Super Air Nautique. What do yall think?

is Malibu still doing the wedge? if so, you will either love it or hate it. Id stick with SAN IMO, but cant really go wrong with either

I've got Malibu currently, came from a Nautique. Neither are comparable to their 2015 counterparts though.

Both are going to come with a surf tab system, Malibu has the wedge in addition to the surf gates. NAUTIQUE has the NSS system. Both are based on the same concept.

They are both great boats. Nautique is going to be more $$$. Only real answer is to try them both and see what you like

Malibu also has the "plug and play" ballast system. Makes it really easy to add aditional ballast to the stock tanks.

Out of those two the Malibu solely based off of value and comfort. I would also test out the Axis made by Malibu. What model(s) are you looing at?

The G25 is a hoss. The 2016 Malibu 25 footer is out now as well, but doubt you can find one to test drive yet.

No budget really. I just want one that has luxury and the best wake.

A new G25 on a trailer will be north of $150,000. They are beautiful boats but that's a bunch of cash for a surf boat. If you have the cash, spend it. The G25 is the best boat on the market. You can get the MXZ Malibu for about $110,000 fully loaded on a trailer.

Best/most expensive wake boat -
Air Nautique
MasterCraft

Couple steps down -
Malibu
Tige
Axis
Etc


Most other boats are value boats, but still nice

I know. We still surfing the 1998 Malibu with 4 fat sacks for about 8 years now. We were wake surfing before anyone else knew what it was. good times.
