This time, Grubb is realizing a longstanding dream project, a groundbreaking world-first fusion of drone wakeskating and BASE jumping. The heart-stopping spectacle unfolds atop the sky bridge of Dubai’s Address Beach Resort, where the Guinness World Record-holding infinity pool is perched an astonishing 294 meters above sea level.
Grubb’s audacious odyssey commences with a 94-meter wakeskate journey across the rooftop pool, towed by a drone at a speed of 30 km/h. He then catapults over the pool’s edge, seamlessly transitioning into a breathtaking 77-story BASE jump covering 294 meters, landing triumphantly at the beach below. Dubbed “WakeBASE,” this achievement represents Grubb’s seven-year-old dream and stands as a historic milestone.
Outfitting the intrepid athlete, Prada Linea Rossa provides gear that seamlessly blends comfort and performance, catering to the demands of both wakeskating and BASE jumping. The equipment is designed to withstand ultra-high speeds and powerful impacts, offering durability, thermal protection, and unhindered movement through multilayer and elastic structures, heat sealing, spacious yet lightweight volumes, and high-performance details in materials, fabrics, and innovative design solutions—from the board to clothing and accessories.
This venture is the latest chapter in the ongoing collaboration between Prada Linea Rossa and Red Bull, a partnership dedicated to championing unique sporting initiatives and recognizing the talent and courage of athletes as they strive to achieve their ambitious goals.
