Brian Grubb, an American wakeskating icon, recently achieved a groundbreaking feat, blending drone wakeskating with BASE jumping in a unique project. He embarked on this adventure from the world's highest infinity pool, located 294 meters above sea level on the sky bridge of Dubai's Address Beach Resort.

Grubb performed a breathtaking 94-metre wakeskate across the rooftop pool, propelled by a drone. Following this, he executed a daring jump from the pool's edge, transitioning into a 77-story BASE jump, culminating in a successful landing on the beach.

This event, named WakeBASE, fulfilled a dream Grubb had nurtured for seven years, marking an unprecedented achievement in the realm of extreme sports. Grubb expressed his exhilaration, noting the combination of technological innovation and his enhanced BASE jumping skills made this possible in Dubai, resulting in the most thrilling wakeskate maneuver of his career.
