Klipsch Marine recently announced its partnership with the wake surfer Ashley Kidd. The MasterCraft Pro Team athlete has dominated the sport with seven World Championships.
“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, Ashley Kidd collaborated with the MasterCraft Boat Company to launch the Ashley Kidd Edition XT23 boat, which features a ‘Golden Hour’ metal flake finish. This 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 Klipsch Marine emphasizes is the custom-designed dog bowl drawer she included for her Siberian Husky, Bailey.
Ashley Kidd, who was admittedly terrified of the water, did not start wake surfing until the age of 15. She overcame that fear then entered her first competition the following year, and has been conquering waves ever since. Her accolades have secured her place in wake surfing history and launched her straight into a successful social media career. Fans are astounded by her 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.”
