That was an awesome video...and not to overshadow the other dudes and the amazing sights, but grubb's style was pretry darn good in that edit. And that pool with those banked walls was sick too.

It all makes me anxious to see what the remote dudes did in brazil.

I was in Brasil, but I did not make this. A large crew of committed guys put in the long hours and hard work on Skate Na Agua.

Skate Na Agua is a web series experiment done by Project Wakeskates (Eduardo Figueiredo [filmed/edited], Fernando Coares de Camargo, and Roberto Reali) along with the help of a lot of others

They took a bunch of riders from around the country and gave them an opportunity to explore the uncharted wilderness of Brasil with them. The trip was a chance to bring together some key components of the wakeskate community down in Brasil and show a sense of unity and shared exploration.

Project's goal for this trip was to explore Brasil and expand wakeskating to places and people that have never had the pleasure of dancing with water. They brought Grubb as a knowledgeable and skilled wakeskater to guide the outlook on how to approach spots and give them an experienced perspective. With a vast amount of beautiful and complex spots in Brasil it was important to have a trained eye.

All other background information is on the website (with the help of a translator)

That one pool was insane... is that just for skating? or what? looked amazing. Also that super blue pond or whatever what wild. Other countries are so beautiful. I need to travel south.

Incredible edit! Don't need to know Portuguese to understand the stoke those guys have! So awesome to see wakeskating alive and well in places around the world.

Thanks WERDna for the post and explanations!

-=AlexXx=-, that one is just a public pool we found on the road..! That rail is a modular one we were carrying on the van.

looks amazing. i think one of my favorite parts is seeing brian grubb do more kickflips, if you can do them, do them. get them looking good with good style. i like that.
