An American daredevil, Brian Grubb, has combined wakeskating and base jumping to pull off a fearless stunt in Dubai. The two-time wakeskating world champion started on the sky bridge at the Address Beach Resort, scooting 94 metres (103 yards) across a rooftop infinity pool that is 294 metres (322 yards) above sea level. Grubb was towed across the water by a custom drone, before bailing off his board and base jumping 77 stories onto the beach below. The successful mix of wakeskating and base jumping has been dubbed ‘WakeBase’.
