Grubb has had a long career as a pro wakeskater but his roots firmly grew out of various forms of towed water sports. We talk about his entire career, from commencement to present day. Shortly before Grubb met with me, he was across the globe in Bosnia wakeskating through frozen water and some sick natural features. Grubb left Orlando the following day to shoot some obscure spot in sunny southern Florida....and just since we recorded, he released a new video featuring some serious shredding in freezing water, near Cape Cod on the Atlantic. Not only is he "livin' the dream" but, hands-down, Brian Grubb is for sure one of the sports best ambassadors and hardest working guys out there.
