Paying homage to the greats, while we roast our own creative mistakes.

Host Ethan McAlpin, better known as EMac, is a videographer, surfer, and long-time consumer of travel-influencer content – or as internet-comedian Cody Ko describes it; “Water that’s way too blue, attractive people smiling, girls leading people places, more blue water… blue ass water.”

The Blue Ass Water Show toys with stereotypical travel content, while diving deeper into the motivations and content strategies of the talented, passionate and lively guests of the show.

Our purpose is to spread positivity and good vibes; just like the content that inspired us to begin with. Also, I just wanted my own show.  Don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe. Cheers.
