TAYLOR KNOX | CARVING A MEANINGFUL PATH THROUGH LIFE

Published: July 1, 2020, 6:06 a.m.

Today I am very fortunate to have Taylor Knox on the show.

Taylor is an ex-professional surfer who spent many years on the then ASP World Tour, starting in 1993, ranking as high as 4th in the world.

He is part of the momentum generation of surfers including his great friends Kelly Slater, Shane Dorian and previous Dad Strong Podcast guest Rob Machado. Taylor lives in San Diego California and started surfing when he was 8 after moving from the mountains to the coast.

His drive and passion for the sport grew and lead him to become a surfer that has had a major impact.

Knox won the inaugural K2 Big-Wave Challenge at Todos Santos where he caught a 52-foot wave. He was inducted into the Surfers hall of fame in 2011 and was noted for having influenced a generation of surfers.

In spite of these achievements, Taylor is a truly humble individual and an example to all of us of what you can achieve if you work hard, come back stronger after setbacks and treat others with the respect they deserve.

I really enjoyed this conversation and Taylors perspective on fatherhood, friendship, life and of course surfing. I hope you enjoy it!
