Iconic American audio brand Klipsch Marine recently announced their partnership with legendary wake surfer Ashley Kidd. The MasterCraft Pro Team athlete has dominated the sport with seven World Championships. Klipsch Marine is privileged to provide an immersive sound experience for her training days on the water.

“Music is literally playing all day long in my life. At my house, in the gym, my truck, and always on my boat,” says Kidd. “I am super excited about the opportunity to partner with Klipsch, who have made sure that Bailey and I always have crystal clear sounds to rock out to.”

For 2024, Kidd collaborated with MasterCraft Boat Company, the world’s most awarded towboat, to launch the Ashley Kidd Edition XT23, featuring a stunning ‘Golden Hour’ metal flake finish. This statement-making vessel is well-appointed with the standard Klipsch Marine audio system in well-recognized brand colors, copper and black. The exclusive black SeaDeck features a step pad with Kidd’s signature, but perhaps the most personal touch is the custom-designed dog bowl drawer she included for her Siberian Husky, Bailey.

Kidd, who was admittedly terrified of the water, did not start wake surfing until the age of fifteen. She overcame that fear, debuted in her first competition the following year, and has been conquering waves with an unmatched craft ever since. Her distinctive style and impressive accolades have secured her place in wake surfing history and launched her straight into a successful social media career. Fans are astounded by her eye-catching tricks and Bailey has become a celebrity boat dog herself.

“I have two teenage daughters that are passionate wake surfers and have always admired Ashley and her incredible talent,” says Klipsch Marine publicist, Kasandra Barrow. “She is inspiring a new generation of female athletes to carve their own paths on the water, and we are honored to be a part of her journey and welcome her to the Klipsch family.”

Klipsch Marine recently announced their partnership with the 2023 male World Wake Surfing Champion, MasterCraft Pro athlete Jett Lambert. As the official audio sponsors for the number one male and female wake surfers in the world, they are committed to rocking the wake – as they continue their relentless pursuit of excellence with legendary athletes.

Klipsch Marine provides premium audio solutions for the discerning audiophile. For more information about Klipsch Marine and their products visit klipschmarine.com. For a backstage pass to Kidd and Lambert’s upcoming season, follow Klipsch Marine on Facebook and Instagram.

These loudspeakers deliver high-output sound to a distance of 50 feet.

The amp includes a talk-back microphone that incorporates voice compression to ensure clear output. System controls, including music and page level, are located on the microphone. At the press of a button, the user can easily communicate with the wakeboarder from the boat.
