Skater rapper Wiz Khalifa just posted a clip that’s quickly gaining attention. He’s rolling through the streets on his skateboard and casually hitting the “aura farming” dance that originally blew up thanks to a kid in Indonesia.
The caption? Simple and smooth: "Out here aura farming. Good vibes only."
Wiz cruising through a sunny neighborhood, letting the wheels do their thing while he hits those now-iconic dance moves.
At one point, he leans slightly to the side, lifts an arm, and hits that fist-roll motion that has become the signature move of eleven-year-old Rayyan Arkan Dikha, known online as the “boat kid” or “The Reaper.” It’s low-key, but confident. Just the kind of moment skateboarding was made for.
Rayyan became a viral legend after videos of him balancing on the tip of a fast-moving racing boat surfaced online.
He was wearing traditional clothing, standing completely still with a straight face, all while moving to a rhythm only he seemed to hear.
The clip shows him dancing and striking sharp, clean poses, all while the boat is flying across the water with a crew of rowers behind him.
The internet quickly caught on. TikTok filled up with people copying the moves. Athletes from across the world started doing their own versions.
Football star Travis Kelce gave it a go. So did the Paris Saint-Germain squad. F1 driver Alex Albon joined in. But none of them did it quite like Wiz did on a skateboard.
What sets Wiz’s version apart is how naturally it blends with skating. The way he rides is smooth and relaxed. His arms are loose, his knees slightly bent, and he flows from step to step as if the board and the dance were made for each other. It’s the kind of thing that reminds people why skateboarding still feels fresh every time someone picks up a deck.
Wiz is no stranger to skating. He’s been seen at parks and on the streets for years now. His style is chill and easygoing, more about expression than technical difficulty.
That’s probably why the “aura farming” trend spoke to him. It’s all about having presence and moving with confidence. That fits perfectly with the way skateboarding works. You don’t need to speak. The way you move says everything.
Back in Indonesia, Rayyan is quickly becoming a household name.
He was recently honored by his province and invited to meet cultural leaders in the capital. His goal is to become a police officer, but for now, he’s making a global impact without even trying.
In interviews, he admits he doesn’t know who most of the celebrities copying him are. He just likes to dance. And when his friends see him, they remind him that the whole world is watching.
Skateboarding might be half a world away from boat racing, but there’s something similar about standing at the edge of balance and looking calm while you do it.
