Looks like Malibu has just signed the World Champ to their team.

I believe he's been riding for Correct Craft for quite a while. I don't know what prompted the change. I'm betting that with all his success he's got every company in the industry driving pretty hard to the hoop, so it's probably just a process of picking and choosing the best deal.

Nautique. I would guess bigger bucks from Malibu, and they make a great boat as well.

I am guessing the reason he went to Malibu is because they gave him more $$$$$$$$. If Bayliner offered him more money than Malibu I bet he would ride for them. At least if I was in that situation I know I would.

HAHA... knowing Malibu, it will come complete with alarm clock, convertible bed/observers seat, chest of drawers, and small cat-like creature for a homey feeling. With all their efforts focused on making the ideal house-like-wakeboard-boat, they forgot to focus on anything else

anodyne, i believe the alarm clock was in reference to soven's recent habit of showing up late to events and tournaments--leading to his disqualification in one--but good joke nonetheless

Oh... I thought it was for a "wake up call" that hes not winning, but I didn't hear about showing up late. That sucks... I slept through my nationals run 2 years ago, and that was horrible. But would be 100000000x worse being a pro and doing it.

He probably got fired by Correct Craft for missing his run! There is no such thing as loyalty anymore. Correct Craft was there for him when he was nobody. I hope he had a better reason than money?

Fired for missing a run? How many contest has he won now? I hope your being sarcastic. I dont understand why everyone has to make it into such a bad thing that a rider switches sponsors. If we are going to do this I think everyone should start bashing everyone for changing sponsors. What about Rusty he just switched to Mastercraft, or how about when Shaun went from supreme to Nautique. dang we missed bashing him on that one. You think its not to late? Come on guys

Jeff... I heard about that!! Unbelievable. Although, I can't seem to wake up on time for work... so I guess I can see missing a leg of a world tournament??
