Watch: The Cape Cod Icebergs Are Perfect for Wakeskating
Florida wakeskater Brian Grubb flew out to Cape Cod this week for the rare opportunity to ride on icebergs (well, not technically) off the Massachusetts coast. The snow-filled winter has blanketed the region, and even the beaches weren’t spared.
Red Bull put together this video of Grubb out in Wellfleet.

Earlier this year, Grubb had another snowy ride in Bosnia.

Grubb said in an interview with Red Bull that he had no idea if he’d even be able to ride when he got to the water, but that it was worth the risk.
It was a total crapshoot; I had never ridden in ice or an environment like that. It was like Bosnia in that it was totally outside of the box and totally different, so we wanted to put ourselves in that environment and see what we could do with it. It’s really unforgiving, but it was cool too, because once the water started coming in we were moving ice chunks out of the way so we’d have room to ride and have features we could hit.
Along with the video, it also led to photos like these:
