MRBEAST AND DJ KHALED BRING JET SKIS, JET SUITS AND A VIRAL CHALLENGE TO BOCA RATON

Miami’s own DJ Khaled made his way to The Palm Beaches to join YouTube megastar MrBeast for the filming of his latest viral challenge, 100 Kids vs. World’s Strongest Man! In one of the video’s most talked-about moments, MrBeast challenged the Grammy-winning artist to a high-speed showdown, pitting DJ Khaled on a jet ski against world champion jet suit racer Issa Kalfon in an epic battle of speed, skill, and spectacle.

The exhilarating shoot took place at Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park in Boca Raton, where racers took to both the water and the skies for a larger-than-life production. The project spotlighted Palm Beach County’s unique ability to accommodate complex, high-impact filming, combining water safety, aerial coordination, and celebrity talent with precision and professionalism. Behind the scenes, the Palm Beach County Film & Television Commission partnered closely with Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation to coordinate permits, fire and rescue services, security detail, and logistics.

The seamless collaboration ensured that every element of the production, from safety protocols to timing, ran efficiently. MrBeast’s production team praised the effort, sharing, “Huge thanks to Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation for being so welcoming and flexible, allowing us to make this happen.” The successful shoot underscores why The Palm Beaches continue to be a top destination for world-class creators and productions seeking cinematic backdrops and exceptional local support.
