World First: Drone Wakeskating on Dubai Skyscraper’s Infinity Pool, Then BASE Jumping Over the Edge

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – December 4, 2023: Brian Grubb, the American Wakeskating pioneer and three-time world champion, has accomplished an unprecedented feat in an innovative project that merged drone Wakeskating and BASE jumping. Perched atop the sky bridge at Dubai’s Address Beach Resort, the Guinness World Record-holding infinity pool sits an astonishing 294 meters above sea level.

Grubb’s audacious journey commenced with a 94-meter wakeskating glide across the rooftop pool, towed by a drone, followed by a leap over the pool’s edge. This seamlessly transitioned into a thrilling 77-story BASE jump, culminating in a successful landing at the beach below. This groundbreaking achievement, known as “WakeBASE,” brought Grubb’s seven-year-old dream to fruition, marking a historic milestone. Here’s a comprehensive overview:

  1. Unparalleled Challenge: The WakeBASE project presented an unparalleled challenge for Brian Grubb, renowned for wakeskating in unique locations worldwide, including Jordan’s Wadi al-Hidan canyon, Cape Cod’s icebergs, and Türkiye’s Cleopatra Pool. The combination of Wakeskating and BASE jumping had never been attempted before, and Grubb was determined to be the pioneer.
  2. Seven-Year Dream: Grubb expressed his motivation, stating, “I wanted to be the first person to do a combination of Wakeskating switch into BASE jump and push myself to the highest level in my sports. I’ve had this idea for seven years, and not a day goes by when I’m not thinking about it.”
  3. Meticulous Preparation: Grubb enlisted the expertise of Miles Daisher, a renowned BASE jump legend, to design a rigorous training program. With over 4,500 BASE jumps to his name, Daisher focused on building Grubb’s skills, recognizing the need for extensive training due to Grubb’s limited 26 BASE jumps by December 2022.
  4. Training Locations: The duo trained at Daisher’s facility in Idaho, USA, mastering exit points ranging from 106m to 121m. Subsequently, they moved to Lauterbrunen, Switzerland, known for being a BASE jump haven, tackling exit points, including the challenging High Ultimate at 305m. Grubb accrued 106 BASE jumps under Daisher’s guidance.
  5. Partnership with Prada: In collaboration with Prada, Grubb donned custom Prada Linea Rossa performance gear, specially optimized for both Wakeskating and BASE jumping. The gear included shoes designed for optimal grip on the custom Prada Linea Rossa Wake Skate.
  6. Drone Development: Drone developer Sebastian Stare and his team custom-engineered a drone tailored for WakeBASE. Stare explained that the drone’s unique features, from hardware components to software, were designed to enhance flight behavior for Wakeskate moves, with insights from Brian himself.
  7. Culmination of Passion: Grubb’s WakeBASE project represents the culmination of over 20 years of Wakeskating and 15 years of skydiving, blending his two greatest passions seamlessly.
  8. Ideal Location: Grubb highlighted the significance of the chosen location, the Address Beach Resort in Dubai, with the world’s highest invisible edge pool. The building’s setup, pool curvature, and expansive beach landing area perfectly suited the unique requirements of the project.

On the unique location, Grubb concluded:When we got this idea we looked for high water and there’s not much out there. Then we saw the Address Beach Resort in Dubai with the highest invisible edge pool in the world and we had to come take a look at it. The building is set up for us, the way the pool curves is perfect for me as I’m right foot forward and the shape is what we needed for the ramp and then there’s this nice big landing area on the beach. As soon as we got eyes on it in person, we knew it was on and that’s when the real mission started.”

More about James Harrington  :

GOLD-medallist wakeskater James Harrington realised a childhood dream when he beat the world record for the highest number of stunts performed in a minute on the board last month.The 20-year-old from Haydon Wick, who only discovered wakeskating five years ago, swiftly made a name for himself on the watersport scene scooping the UK champion title in 2011 and 2013 and placing second at the European Championships in 2013.

But despite his impressive track record, James’s proudest achievement was breaking the Guinness World Record in his field last month, completing 13 shuvs in 60 seconds, which will see him feature in the book’s 2014 edition.

A shuv involves spinning the board 360 degrees before landing back on it.Flicking through the Guinness Book of Records as a child, Mini, as he is known in the wakeskating world, had day-dreamed of one day accomplishing a physical feat deserving of a mention in the iconic annals.

“I had the books when I was younger and it was my dream to get in,” said James, who will compete in the 2014 national championship in Thorpe Park tomorrow.

“I love it. I try to go every day if I can and in the winter I try to get away. Last year I went away to Thailand.

“My goal is to move to America and wakeskate out there. There is a big scene over there.”

James took up wakeboarding in South Cerney at the age of 14. Through trial and error and a heavy dose of natural talent, he was able to master the sport. Looking for a challenge, he was soon drawn to wakeskating.Unlike wakeboarding, the rider is not bound to the board in wakeskating. Instead, the top surface of the board is covered with griptape, in a similar way to a skateboard.He smashed the record on his fifth attempt, while filming Officially Amazing for CBBC at Festival Wakeboard Park in Basildon on June 18. The previous record stood at 12 shuvs in a minute. James performed 13 in 36 seconds before falling off the board but, despite this feat, he is not resting on his laurels.

Wakeskating Brazil’s Sea Of  Sand

Wakeskate’s best spots don’t come easy and riding the opal lakes of Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, in Brazil, is about as hard as they come. Red Bull wakeskaters Zuzana Vrablova and Brian Grubb get off the beaten track in Brazil’s sand sea to find the world’s most stunning wakeskate location.

Stretching out along the northeast coast of Brazil is a vast, sweltering sand sea of wind-etched dunes and opal lakes, known as the Lençóis Maranhenses. In the rainy season, fresh water pools in the slacks that dissect the dunes, trapped by the impervious rock below, and form a dichotomy of scorched desert and life giving water.

This surreal expanse of sand and water has been on wakeskaters Zuzana Vrablova and Brian Grubb bucket list for a long time: “We’ve talked about coming here for many years,” says Brian, “and to finally see it in person is pretty amazing.”

The crew was based in a camp outside the national park and to reach the lakes they must navigate a river, then off-road for two hours. When they got there, the conditions on the water were challenging with the riders having to battle stiff winds, searing heat and impossible winch lines. In Zuzana’s words, “its not easy.”

This was the first time that Zuzana and Brian have ridden together, but their combined experience and determination helped them forge a legitimate edit in what has to be one of the most stunning locations on the planet.

“I’m always searching for different locations and am always interested to find some epic spots to wakeskate,” says Zuzana. “This place is huge!”

Coronavirus in Thailand

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic was confirmed to have spread to Thailand on 13 January 2020. Thailand was the first country to confirm a case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outside of China.

On 1 March, MOPH reported the first confirmed death in Thailand, a 35-year-old Thai who was originally diagnosed with dengue fever at a private hospital in late January. He was later transferred to Bamrasnaradura Institute on 5 February after testing positive for COVID-19, where he received treatment and had since fully recovered by 16 February. However, the damage the virus had done to his lungs was beyond recovery and he died from multiple organ failure on 29 February. The ministry is currently carrying out investigations to find out which disease is the main cause of his death.

On the same day, King Power issued a statement identifying the man who had died as one of the company’s partner-product consultants at their Sivaree branch store. The branch has been closed since the day he tested positive for the virus and all staff examined by health officials.  On Saturday, 21st March 2020, Bangkok’s City Hall authorities declared a wide-ranging shutdown of various businesses with the Governor of Bangkok disclosed after the City Hall meeting that the board had passed a resolution to close establishments under Section 35, the Communicable Disease Act 2015, for a period of 22 days from 22 March to the 12th April 2020.
