21 LX: HYBRID WAKESETTER
Truth On The Water™
Known for its hybrid bow which incorporates the sharp lines of a traditional bow to cut smoothly through the water & the spacious comfort of a pickle-fork bow, the 21 LX is a true hybrid of the world-renowned Wakesetter line. Available with either the legendary Wake Plus™ Hull that has been the foundation of Malibu’s proven board sports performance for decades or the Malibu Diamond Hull™ for a combination of wake, surf, and ski that has no equal, the 21 LX takes customization to a whole new level. With seating for 12 and storage for all the crew’s gear, the 21 LX has plenty of space and all the amenities to leave the dock for a long day on the water.
If you’re looking for the perfect entry point to the Wakesetter brand that’s easy to tow and fits on size-restricted waterways without sacrificing performance or customization, the 21 LX is the only place you should be — let’s get on the water.
Wakesetter 21 LX
21 LX Tower Options
The G5 Tower builds on existing Malibu innovations to make the most advanced standard tower on the market. It's equipped with a massive bimini, the best on-water sound system and can easily tow riders. The G5 Tower easily folds lower for storage or improved clearance under bridges. For more versatility, the available TXi tower is an option for the 21 LX and folds low enough to get into a seven-foot garage.
Industry-Leading Surf Technology
Malibu’s exclusive wake & wave technology includes model-specific performance hulls, Hard Tank Ballast System, and the patented Power Wedge® III and Surf Gate®. Control all wave, wake, and ballast settings from the Command Center with the tap of a finger or use the exclusive Surf Band wrist remote to adjust surf settings, boat speed, and tower speaker volume from the water.

21 LX Industry-Leading Features
New 21 LX Hybrid Bow
One of the most unique characteristics of this new boat is the newly designed Hybrid Bow. While the styling is all new for the 21 LX, it incorporated the sharp lines of the 21 VLX’s traditional bow to cut smoothly through the water with the seating space of the 21 MLX’s picklefork bow.
Pop-Up Ski Pylon
The pop-up tow pylon gives you even more watersports options, and it’s recessed into the luxurious deck so it doesn’t get in the way. When it’s time to use it, just pull up, twist and you’re ready to pull a tuber or slalom skier.
G5 Tower
The fan-favorite G5 tower hangs your speakers and gets all your boards secured and out of the way, and it complements the 21 LX’s lines for the perfect on-water look. If you’re going through a canal with a low bridge, just twist the knobs and fold the tower down with one-handed ease.
