Drew Brees is now retired and seems to be enjoying his time. He's spending more time with his family, still rooting for the New Orleans Saints, and apparently, has picked up a crazy hobby. Hobbies are the epitome of retirement, but Brees seems to have taken that to an entirely new level.
While being a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Brees enthusiastically spoke about EFoiling, per People. The former Saints QB does his best to explain it by stating:
“EFoiling is basically — so people have probably heard of a foil; it's basically a surfboard that has like a mast and a fin structure that drops below it. It allows you to ride on really bigger swells. You don't necessarily have to catch waves, you can just ride big swells out in the middle of the ocean,” he explains of the water sport. “Then they decided, ‘Wouldn't it be cool if we added a motor on here and a battery!' “
It sounds like a wild ride, as it's essentially a small surfboard with a motor attached to the bottom of it. We all know Drew Brees to be one of the toughest quarterbacks in league history during his time with the Saints, but who knew the guy enjoys extreme water sports so much!
He seems to be adjusting to the retired life pretty well so far. However, this isn't the last we'll see of him, as Drew Brees agreed to join NBC Sports as a studio analyst for Football Night in America. It'll be interesting to see the Saints' legend in this new role, offering his opinion on the Sunday Night football games.
Between his family, EFoiling, and his new job at NBC Sports, the future Hall of Famer seems to be quite busy during his retirement.
