Surfing Prodigy’s Death-Defying Stunt Leaves 44-Year-Old Legendary NFL QB Without Words

Former New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees astounded his followers through a 17-second Instagram story. While the footage exuded adventure, its undertone of peril lingered, reminding us of a tragic incident involving a professional American surfer’s loss just the prior month. And notably, even signs of caution surfaced when DJ Khaled’s mishap riding an electric hydrofoil surfboard raised concerns recently.

Drew Brees is no stranger to this epic sport and has previously posted his surfing skills on social media. While he remains passionate about football even after his retirement, the XLIV SB champ also continues to embrace his love for surfing. But again, a sport like this comes with a fair share of dangers. Brees’ recently shared video of this surfing prodigy surely left everyone with goosebumps.

Drew Brees was left star-struck!

The video clip showcased a bold and perilous maneuver executed by a young surfer that left Brees utterly speechless. This new video, sourced from pro wakeboarder Steel Lafferty’s Instagram reel, featured a daring ‘Wakesurf Drive-Thru’ performed behind a boat’s wake – a maneuver known for its potential danger, one being related to the location of the boat’s propellor.

The video, a mix of an exhilarating spectacle and danger left Brees without words as he shared the pro’s clip. The daredevil stunt video, which is as dangerous as it comes, does ring a bell about last month’s tragic incident involving American professional pro surfer Mikala Jones, who lost his life in a surfing accident.

Notably, even amidst the risks, surfers continue to embrace their passion for this sport. Brees himself a surfing lover, previously displayed his surfing talent in an Instagram post. This was the time he was invited by the 11-time World Surf League champion many, who boasts an astounding 56 Championship Tour victories, defining the sport’s pinnacle.

Getting praised by one of the best surfers out there comes as an achievement even for decorated athletes like Drew Brees. In 2018, Brees, who served as an interim assistant coach for Purdue Boilermakers, was invited by Kelly Slater, a record 11 time-World Surf League Champion. A video of Drew showcasing his surfing moves was beautifully captured by the Surf Ranch. Back then, Drew Brees playfully mentioned “feeling like a surfer” in his IG post.

Apart from football, Drew Brees loves electric bikes, fishing, and eFoiling (a cross between flying and surfing). The latter is one of the craziest hobbies Brees admits to not being All-Pro at. Now, those are some great post-retirement hobbies!
