The Wakesetter VLX is one of wakeboarding’s all-time greats, with crisp and unerringly consistent wakes, along with long yet poppy ramps that helped groom world champion riders.

Forget Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Malibu Boats is giving you until December 31 to get the best deal of the entire year. These rebates come straight from Malibu's headquarters and apply to many boats in the 2012 lineup, including the all-new Malibu Wakesetter 22 MXZ.

While we all strive for the best, maybe it’s the next-best that actually suits our needs. After all, why else would boat manufacturers make multiple models? We took a close look at the second-best wakeboard boats from Axis, Malibu, MasterCraft, Moomba, Supra and Tigé. What did we learn? Second-best is still really sick.

What does the best wakeboard boat look like? Engineers and designers from Axis Boats, Malibu Boats, MasterCraft Boats, Nautique Boats, Supra Boats, and Tige Boats ask themselves that question every year.

Here's a closer look at the best wakeboard boat innovations of 2011.
