A Few Words with Taylor Knox
Taylor Knox is one of the most respected surfers in the world, and has been for quite some time now. Big waves, small waves, full rail, barrels, points, pits, etc….TK can pretty well do it all. He’s held the banner high for power surfing and is universally regarded as the master of the rail. The fact that he is 40 and still battling amongst the world’s best is a testament to the man’s fitness, his ability to adapt and his timeless style. Surfing Magazine recently caught up with Carlsbad’s finest to get his thoughts on everything under the sun.
