Steel Lafferty is a kid at heart. But don’t let his fun-loving nature and easy-going personality fool you. He puts in the hard work and commitment to wakeboarding that it takes to be one of the sport’s elite.

The Fort Lauderdale, Florida, native began wakeboarding at age 10 — the same age when he pulled off his first trick. Lafferty, 23, says his favorite social media platforms are Instagram and Myspace (we sense some sarcasm, a key part of his personality). In case you were wondering what he’s allergic to, he also told us that he swells up “like a blowfish” around dust and pollen.
