Wakesurfing was, until very recently, a fringe offshoot of the real deal, but not anymore. It has risen in popularity largely due to the influence of celebrities trying out the sport. In the last couple of months, huge stars like Shakira, Chris Hemsworth, Kendall Jenner, and even Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg tried their hand at wakesurfing. Now another celebrity, Patrick Mahomes has joined the ranks of wakesurfing enthusiasts and made the trend seem even more appealing.

The 450 million worth Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes made waves on the internet with his recent wakesurfing adventure. Mahomes had joined popular surfer Steel Lafferty for a day of riding the waves and showing off his skills on the wakesurf board.
