Towed by a Drone: Brian Grubb’s WakeBASE Jump off a Dubai Infinity Pool
American wakeskating pioneer and three-time world champion Brian Grubb embraced a unique stunt.
The project, named “WakeBASE,“ involved a unique combination of drone wakeskating and BASE jumping.
The setting for this feat was at the Address Beach Resort in Dubai, featuring a Guinness World Record-holding infinity pool situated 294 meters above sea level.
Grubb’s challenge began with him wakeskating 94 meters across the rooftop pool, towed by a specially engineered drone.
The stunt culminated with Grubb executing a BASE jump from the pool’s edge, descending 77 stories before landing successfully on the beach below.
This accomplishment was a realization of Grubb’s seven-year dream and marked a historic milestone in extreme sports.
To prepare for “WakeBASE,“ Grubb underwent rigorous training with BASE jump legend Miles Daisher.
Despite having only 26 BASE jumps to his name by December 2022, Grubb completed 106 jumps during his training, which took place in Idaho, USA, and Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, a renowned BASE jump location.
The project also involved a partnership with Prada, which provided custom performance gear optimized for the requirements of both wakeskating and BASE jumping.
The drone used in this stunt was custom-developed by a team led by Sebastian Stare, incorporating specialized hardware and software tailored for the demands of “WakeBASE.“
The choice of the Address Beach Resort in Dubai was strategic, as its high infinity pool and architectural layout were ideal for both the wakeskate run and the BASE jump.
