When you’re pushing the limits of what’s possible on the water, the boat behind you matters.
For Malibu Pro Athlete Brian Grubb, progression isn’t optional—it’s the standard. Whether he’s redefining wakeskating, exploring new frontiers in foiling, or collaborating on Red Bull projects, Grubb is constantly evolving the sport.
So when it came time for his next boat, the decision was simple: step into the most advanced, most refined, and most capable boat Malibu has ever built—the Malibu M230.
From Award-Winning to Uncompromising
Grubb has spent years riding behind the Malibu 23 LSV—one of the most decorated wake boats in the industry and a proven platform for both wakeboarding and wakesurfing.
But his riding—and his lifestyle—has continued to evolve. Between hosting, filming, and pushing new ideas, he needed something that could do more than perform. He needed a boat that could elevate every part of the experience. The M230 delivers exactly that.
A Fully Custom M230, Built Around Grubb
This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a purpose-built boat tailored to how Grubb rides, films, and lives on the water.
A Clean, Progressive Exterior
Grubb’s M230 features a progressive color scheme, built around layered graphite tones and crisp white accents for a modern, understated look that still hits on the water. The result is a sharp, cohesive design that feels technical, refined, and unmistakably premium. Since taking delivery in Orlando, Grubb also added tinted windows, giving the boat a more aggressive look while adding comfort for long days in the Florida sun.
Performance & Technology
For Grubb, performance isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of everything he does on the water. His M230 is built to deliver consistent, dialed wakes and waves, giving him complete control at the helm so he can go from setup to riding without missing a beat.
“The biggest thing for me is consistency," said Grubb. "Whether I’m wakeskating, foiling, hanging out with my friends, or teaching someone new, I need a wave I can trust every time. The M230 lets me dial that in exactly how I want it every time with no guess work.”
From the day he took delivery Grubb wasted no time in getting on the water for a day of wakeskating, foiling, and enjoying his new setup with friends on board—no guesswork, just a boat that’s ready to perform.
